3、ation and description of geospatial data for definingAbandoned Mine Land (AML) ProblemAreas, Planning Units,Keyword Features, and Project Sites.1.1.1 This practice addresses mining geospatial data relativeto the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977(SMCRA).2This geospatial data shall be
4、 obtained from eachstate, tribal or federal coal mining regulatory authority (RA), orcombinations thereof, authorized under SMCRA to reclaim thesurface and underground effects of past mining operations.Abandoned mine land, as specified in SMCRA Sections 404(coal), 409 and 411 (non-coal) and cross re
5、ferenced in addi-tional sections on eligible lands, consist of those lands andwaters which were mined for coal or other minerals, or both, orimpacted by processing operations prior to the enactment ofSMCRA and abandoned or left in an inadequate condition ofreclamation and for which there is no conti
6、nuing reclamationresponsibility under state or other federal laws for mitigation ofadverse impacts to human health and safety or environmentalresources.1.1.2 Title IV of SMCRA establishes the national AMLReclamation Program under the Office of Surface MiningReclamation and Enforcement (OSMRE), U.S.
7、Department ofthe Interior (DOI). The program was developed to reclaim landand water resources adversely affected by past coal andnon-coal mining and left abandoned or inadequately restored.During the years immediately following the enactment ofSMCRA, OSMRE, states, and Indian tribes conducted survey
8、sof eligible lands and waters and created individual inventoriesof problems to be addressed under Title IV. In 1990, SMCRAwas amended and OSMRE was required to maintain a nationalinventory of high priority abandoned mine sites and providestandardized procedures for states and tribes to use in updati
9、ngthe data. The need for an automated nationwide inventorysystem led to the creation of the enhanced AML InventorySystem (e-AMLIS), a compilation of the individual state, tribe,Federal Reclamation Program (FRP), and Rural AbandonedMine Program (RAMP) inventories. The e-AMLIS documentsthe counts for
10、AML problem types and the costs to remedythose problems. The system captures estimated unfunded costs,estimated construction costs when funding is made availablefor reclamation projects, and the actual costs for completedconstruction projects. It is used in support of work plandevelopment and to rec
11、ord the work completed under eachRAs program and to report the extent and estimated cost toreclaim remaining AML problems.1.1.3 Each state in the United States of America has beendivided into Water Cataloging Units (WCU) by the U. S. WaterResources Council. These appear in the states Hydrologic Unit
12、Map prepared by the U.S. Department of the Interior, U. S.Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Water ResourcesCouncil. The WCU are divided and sub-divided into succes-sively smaller hydrologic units, which are classified into fourlevels: regions, sub-regions, accounting units, and catalogingun
13、its. The hydrologic units are arranged within each other,from the smallest (cataloging units) to the largest (regions).Each hydrologic unit is identified by a unique Hydrologic UnitCode (HUC) consisting of two to eight digits based on the fourlevels of classification in the hydrologic unit system.31
14、.1.4 As used in this practice, an AML Problem Area (PA)represents a closed polygon boundary for a uniquely definedgeographic area contained within an AML Planning Unit (PU)as described in the AML Inventory Manual. An AML PA is asubdivision of an AML PU that contains one or more AMLkeyword features t
15、ogether with impacted land or water re-sources or both. An AML PA should not cross PU boundaries.1.1.5 As used in this practice, an AML PU represents aclosed polygon boundary of a uniquely defined geographic areaidentified by unique numbers and names. An entire WCU maybe delineated as a single PU or
16、 subdivided into multiple PUs.In general, PUs east of the Mississippi River have historicallycorresponded to watersheds; PUs west of the Mississippi River1This practice is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D18 on Soil andRock and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D18.01.03 on Geosp
