The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) conducted the symposium "Science for Watershed Decisions on Abandoned Mine Lands: Review of Preliminary Results" in Denver, Colorado, on February 4-5, 1998, for Federal land-management agencies (FLMAs) to get a first look at the techniques, data, and interpretations being generated by the USGS's Abandoned Mine Lands (AML) Initiative. The AML Initiative is a multidisciplinary effort that is using a watershed approach to address the AML problem. Watersheds in Colorado and Montana were picked to demonstrate the approach. The goal of the AML Initiative is to design and implement a reliable strategy that will supply the scientific information FLMAs need to develop efficient and cost-effective remediation plans for abandoned mine sites.
