This is one of a series of reports that presents the findings of the Plains Hydrology and Reclamation Project (PHRP), an interdisciplinary study that focuses primarily on hydrologic aspects of reclamation of surface coal mines in the plains of Alberta. This research has been conducted by the
also in the surrounding area. This report focuses on PHRP Sub-objective A5, which is concerned with subsidence behaviour in reclaimed mine spoil. Differential subsidence of reclaimed surfaces has been demonstrated to create water—holding depressions that disrupt farming operations and to cause
pavement distress in roads crossing reclaimed areas. Subsidence depressions have the potential to delay granting of reclamation certification in the Plains region of Alberta. As part of our study of this phenomenon, we have reviewed the available engineering literature relative to subsidence of reclaimed
