This paper presents an overview of soil testing requirements, guidance for the use of Biotic Soil Technology (BST) and other agronomic formulations, and descriptions of complementary erosion control techniques with case histories documenting successful and cost-effective coal ash and mine cover systems in the Southeastern US. In addition, these case studies will describe and detail longer term performance monitoring techniques to demonstrate sustained improvements in Soil Health.

Learning Objectives:

  1. By attending this presentation the attendee will learn more about Engineered Soil Cover Systems and how they are functional and cost-effective alternative to a topsoil layer.
  2. By attending this presentation the attendee will learn how Biotic Soil Technology can accelerate soil development and more rapidly improve Soil Health.
  3. As a result of attending this presentation the viewer will see case studies documenting the use of these designs and technologies to successfully rehabilitate and close coal ash and mined land sites.
