Dumps, mine is mainly comprised in this area of piles of low grade coal, carbonaceous shale and ash that has been left as a result of mining.  Re-vegetation of this area is hard to do because plant material does not like to grow in acidic conditions. 

UkB, UkD, UkF

Shallow to deep, well drained soils formed as a result of strip mining. They are on nearly level upland slopes. They have slow to rapid permeability, a low to high available water capacity, and a seasonal high water table to 6 to 36 inches of the surface during wet periods of the year.
