It's time for the next step in our How it's Done Series! This month, we focus on our Scan Processing step. In this step, we take a newly scanned document, and we crop it, position it to the north, add our title block and make sure it is ready for public view! #howitsdone #minemap

More than 110 local students teamed up with natural resource professionals at a mine site near Hazard, KY, to plant trees and learn about forestry and abandoned mine land restoration. This ARRI event, hosted in partnership with KY River Properties, is helping transform a repeatedly mined and reclaimed site into a native forest and wildlife habitat.

Big results from our OSM staff at the Gosline H2Ohio AMD site. Their hands‑on restoration work and partnership with H2Ohio are helping clean up waterways, restore land, and protect the future of the Upper Rush Creek watershed. The total cost was approximately $1.9 million, consisting of $700,000 in H2O funding and $1,282,784 in IIJA funding. The project improves water quality across the watershed and transforms damaged mine lands into healthier, more resilient ecosystems.

Surface mining and reclamation today reflect decades of progress across interconnected disciplines. What ties them together is not a single technology, but an integrated approach, where engineering, science, monitoring, and community planning reinforce one another. Innovation doesn’t happen only in laboratories, it happens across the American landscape. Every day, OSMRE and its partners help shape the future of responsible resource management. Since SMCRA laid the groundwork for stronger national regulation, new tools and techniques, such as remote sensing, advanced landform design, and modern water treatment technologies that continue to reduce the challenges of surface mining and strengthen community safety. Explore how today’s science-driven mining and reclamation practices reflect ongoing innovation and national progress: osmre.gov/news/stories/i…

OSMRE builds connections through education by showing up in classrooms across coalfield communities. Through hands‑on lessons, students learn about coal, clean water, and the hard work behind reclaiming abandoned mine lands. This three‑year curriculum grows with students from 2nd to 4th grade, and our partnerships with local schools, organizations, museums, and the public help us inspire the next generation. Our education and outreach team brings learning to life through engaging presentations and hands‑on activities for curious minds of all ages.
