"The objective of this study was to employ laboratory techniques to determine the effects of weathering on overburden strata proposed for use as topsoil substitutes in Kentucky oil shale mine reclamation. Strata studied included the Bedford Shale and the Henley Bed of the Borden Formation of Lewis Counand the Nancy Member of the Borden For action of Powell County. Samples were subjected to freezing/thawing and slaking in the laboratory to simulate field weathering conditions. Physical, mineralogical, and chemical attributes of the unweathered and weathered shales were compared to properties of native soils."
