l important geographical data related to reclamation<strong>of</strong> the area to be mined are recorded during preliminarystudies. As the coal is uncovered, large overburdenpiles or "spoil banks" are left behind <strong>by</strong> the Marion6360 <strong>and</strong> the Bucyrus-Erie 2578 walking dragline. Subsequently,grading equipment smooths out the tops <strong>of</strong>spoil banks to match as closely as possible the originalsurface topography prior to mining. Finally, a cowering<strong>of</strong> topsoil is spread over the graded B<strong>and</strong>.The l<strong>and</strong> is then seeded with special grasses or withtrees indigenous to the area, <strong>and</strong> sometimes fishinglakes are created. In some areas, the B<strong>and</strong> is reclaimedfor grazing, <strong>and</strong> various types <strong>of</strong> cattle are raised. Inaddition, corn, wheat, hay, sorghum, <strong>and</strong> honey areproduced on the reclaimed B<strong>and</strong>. This program wasbegun <strong>by</strong> Southwestern IIlinois Coal Company in 1936at the near<strong>by</strong> Streamline Mine, <strong>and</strong> reclamation workwas begun immediately at Captain Mine when itopened in 1964.End <strong>of</strong> field trip.
