Large-scale coal mining activities on steep, unstable and highly erosive slopes significantly altered the Coal Basin landscape. Little vegetation existed on the area's steep slopes prior to mining and reclaimed portions of mine sites were often poorly vegetated after mining. These areas might have regularly contributed to sediment loading in

Coal mining has been common in the United States for nearly two centuries. Prior to the passage of the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act (SMCRA) of 1977, there was no regulatory oversight of coal operators or what happened to mines after mining stopped. As a result, millions of Americans live less than a mile from an abandoned coal mine.
