Abstract
The objective of the study was to develop methods for reclaiming ash disposal piles for the ultimate use as agricultural or forest lands. The ashes studied were strongly alkaline and contained considerable amounts of salts and toxic boron. The ashes were produced from burning bituminous coal which produced aluminum-silicon ashes and from lignite which produced calcium-sulphate ashes. The report is the second describing this project. The first report contained a review of literature and described the ash analysis; the greenhouse pot studies; the preparation of the ash disposal piles; and the early grass, legume, and tree field studies. It was published as EPA report 600/7-79-128, 'Reclamation of Alkaline Ash Piles and Protection of Their Environment Against Dusting', by Wladyslaw Wysocki, July 1979. The second report describes the remainder of the field studies.
