Operation Scarlift Reports #
Operation Scarlift was a Pennsylvania state program which operated in the 1960’s and 1970’s whose purpose was to remediate ravages of land and water from historic mining practices. In addition to addressing problems such as mine fires, abandoned strip mine areas, open deep mine shafts, burning refuse banks, and mine drainage, the project produced numerous studies of areas impacted by old mining practices.
While this information is around 30 years old, it still provides much valuable background information for groups assessing their watershed. The original Technical Assistance Grant (TAG) responsible for funding the development of this website has also included 5 selected Operation Scarlift reports on the website. Funding now enables us to digitize the
remaining Scarlift Reports. These reports will be processed and placed on this website continuing into 2005.
The paper versions of the Scarlift reports were “digitized” by using a scanner, translating the individual report pages into a format that is deliverable over the internet. These reports are in the widely used “PDF” format, readable using the freely downloadable “Acrobat Reader” software. The following table lists the Scarlift Reports. Those currently available in this project are underlined. Those in progress are in teal-green and forest green.
Note: These reports have been broken down by section so that download times are manageable. Nevertheless, you may experience significant download times, especially on dial-up connections.
