 The Oil Drum | Surface Mining of coal   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Generally during the creation of the spoil banks behind the working area, bulldozers will create a ramp that slopes down, from the surface, to the coal level, and this will be kept moving forward as the strip of ground that is being mined moves across the property.
Once the coal has been taken out, then the space is available for the excavators and shovels to place the rock there, as the next strip of ground is worked.
The initial appearance of the spoil banks is usually a series of large hummocks, prescribed by the movement of the earth-movers, but once the pass placing that rock is over, then the ground is restored to contour, generally using some form of bulldozer, though larger than those normally seen in public.
