Body

Coal spoil banks near Kemmerer, Wyoming were subjected to several treatments designed to facilitate revegetation. These included the use of snowfence, jute net, and straw mulch applied to banks of three different ages. Evaluation by seedling density suggested that the older the spoil the more suitable for planting. All treatments produced seedling stands but a combination of jute netting and mulch gave best results.
