The geological structure is an important factor of gas occurrence in coal seam, and the gas occurrence in deep coal seam should be paid attention to enough because the occurrence was more controlled by geological structure and influence. Taken Fengfeng coalfield as target in this paper, the geological structure of this coalfield was described. The deep coal mining district which is monoclinic structure in Fengfeng is located in the east of Gushan anticlinoria, which the junior small anticlines and synclines of the sub-echelon are well developed. And regional fault structures are intensive, the pressure structure is the major structure among this region. The characteristics of geological structure in Fengfeng coalfield were analyzed. The tensional structure planes and pressure structure are the major effect factors, and the latter is the main form of gas occurrence in deep. Some suggestions on safe of deep mining in high gas environment is also put forward, in order to provide theoretical support for the deep coal mining and gas disaster prevention.

Groundwater Samples

Abstract Major ion and trace element concentrations in shallow groundwater of Linhuan coal-mining district, Northern Anhui Province, China, were analyzed to determine its hydrogeochemical characteristics and to assess drinking and irrigation water quality. The relative abundance of cations and anions was Na+ > Mg2+ > Ca2+ > K+, and HCO3− > SO42− > Cl− > NO3−, respectively. The concentrations of Na+, HCO3−, NO3−, and total dissolved solids (TDS), and the electric conductivity (EC) values in some samples were higher than the permissible limits of the Water Health Organization (WHO). Gibbs diagrams showed that rock weathering mainly controlled the major ion chemistry of the groundwater, and the first aquifer of this study area had a weak hydraulic connection with atmospheric precipitation. The calculated sodium percentage (%Na) and sodium adsorption ratio (SAR) revealed that the slight sodium and high salinity hazards needed to be controlled before irrigation. According to the fuzzy comprehensive assessment, the groundwater samples were classified into four categories. The results showed that 92.86% of the groundwater samples were suitable for drinking use. For human health, the NO3− and Mn levels in the groundwater should be reduced before drinking, and treatment of the high salinity hazards is required before irrigation.

Surface Mine Reclamation

Abstract This paper reviews the state of the art of surface mine reclamation for forestry in Pennsylvania, Maryland, West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois. Legislative constraints, socioeconomic issues, factors limiting the success of reforestation efforts, post-mining land-use trends, species options, and establishment techniques are discussed. Sources of assistance to landowners or managers are given and major publications on reclamation methods are cited. Information provided in the paper also applies to coal mining states adjacent to those listed above. Citation: Northern Journal of Applied Forestry, April 1984 NJ 1:7-12.
