Abandoned Mineland Acid Mine Drainage (AML AMD) Inventory
by Web Editor — published Mar 01, 2012 — last modified Nov 12, 2013 04:03 PM — filed under: , , ,
An inventory of land and water impacted by past mining (primarily coal mining) is maintained by the Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement to provide information needed to implement the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977. The inventory contains information on the location, type, and extent of abandoned mined lands, as well as information on the cost associated with the reclamation of those problems.

File C++ source code Assessing Future Energy Development across the Appalachian LCC. Final Report
by Judy K. Dunscomb, Jeffrey S. Evans, Jacqueline M. Strager, Michael P. Strager and Joseph M. Kiesecker — published Mar 05, 2015 — last modified Feb 01, 2018 11:02 PM — filed under: , , , , ,
In this study funded by the Appalachian LCC, The Nature Conservancy assessed current and future energy development across the entire region. The research combined multiple layers of data on energy development trends and important natural resource and ecosystem services to give a comprehensive picture of what future energy development could look like in the Appalachians. It also shows where likely energy development areas will intersect with other significant values like intact forests, important streams, and vital ecological services such as drinking water supplies.

File Climate Change: Future Federal Adaptation Efforts Could Better Support Local Infrastructure Decision Makers
by Government Accountability Office — published May 17, 2013 — filed under: , , , , ,
The federal government invests billions of dollars annually in infrastructure, such as roads and bridges, facing increasing risks from climate change. Adaptation—defined as adjustments to natural or human systems in response to actual or expected climate change— can help manage these risks by making infrastructure more resilient. GAO was asked to examine issues related to infrastructure decision making and climate change. This report examines (1) the impacts of climate change on roads and bridges, wastewater systems, and NASA centers; (2) the extent to which climate change is incorporated into infrastructure planning; (3) factors that enabled some decision makers to implement adaptive measures; and (4) federal efforts to address local adaptation needs, as well as potential opportunities for improvement. GAO reviewed climate change assessments; analyzed relevant reports; interviewed stakeholders from professional associations and federal agencies; and visited infrastructure projects and interviewed local decision makers at seven sites where adaptive measures have been implemented.

File Development of a Spatially Explicit Surface Coal Mining Predictive Model
by Michael P. Strager, Jacquelyn M. Strager, Wesley Burnett, Aaron E. Maxwell, — published Nov 19, 2014 — last modified Jul 23, 2015 03:13 PM — filed under: , , , ,
The goal of this project was to create a spatially explicit 1km2 grid cell model for the Appalachian Landscape Conservation Cooperative (Figure 1) predicting where surface coal mining is likely to occur in in a projected future time period, under two different scenarios. To accomplish this goal we combined GIS spatial analysis, a Random Forests predictive model, and future mining buildout scenarios. This report provides a detailed methodology of our approach and discussion of our results.

File ECMAScript program Enhancing the Climate Resilience of America’s Natural Resources
by COUNCIL ON CLIMATE PREPAREDNESS AND RESILIENCE — published Oct 09, 2014 — filed under: , , , ,
The President's Climate and Natural Resources Priority Agenda is the result of an interagency process to inventory and assess current policies, programs, and regulations related to climate change adaptation. The Agenda builds upon the robust climate change adaptation work already accomplished by Federal agencies and identifies significant actions moving forward. It specifically mentions how Federal agencies working to address ecosystem management issues through LCCs and other multi-stakeholder bodies will work with partners to select flagship geographic regions for which they will identify priority areas for conservation, restoration, or other investments to build resilience in vulnerable regions, enhance carbon storage capacity, and support management needs. Within 24 months, these agencies and their partners will have identified and mapped the initial list of priority areas within each of the selected geographic landscapes or regions.

Project Forestlands Best Management Practices for Golden-winged Warblers
by Matthew Cimitile — published Apr 02, 2013 — last modified Aug 22, 2014 10:14 AM — filed under: , , , , ,
Combing through habitat literature and conducting two years of surveys for the presence of Golden-winged Warblers at forest stands, the AMJV and partners developed best management practices for providing breeding habitat for Golden-winged Warblers through timber harvesting.

File ECMAScript program Golden-winged Warbler Habitat: Best Management Practices
by AMJV — published Nov 06, 2012 — filed under: , , , , ,
The goal of this BMP is to present management prescriptions to forest managers interested in providing breeding habitat for Golden-winged Warblers through management actions associated with timber harvesting. We provide a science-based approach in an adaptive management framework to understanding breeding habitat use of Golden-winged Warblers across a range of timber harvest prescriptions in Pennsylvania and Maryland. This document is intended for use by state and private foresters, biologists, and other land managers. We anticipate that this BMP is the first document in a series that will address management of other early successional habitat used by Golden-winged Warblers including old fields, reclaimed strip mines, scrub oak barrens, and aspen cuts.
