Loose coal waste at the old abandoned Weber mine. Summit County, Utah. 1978. Loose coal waste at the old abandoned Weber mine. In more than 30 years, except on the north slopes, few plants have been able to establish themselves on these coal wastes because of high surface temperatures. The background shows typical pinyon-juniper woodland and sagebrush lands with patches of grassland. The spoils have been left undisturbed and lack grading, topsoiling, and seeding characteristics of later surface-mining operations. Men at left for scale. Summit County, Utah. October 1978.
