The Project Reclamation Records largely consist of a report (Vegetation-Environment Relationships of Abandoned Mines: Toward Their Successful Revegetation, Stability and Long-Term Production) accompanied by tables for vegetation data, spoil data and lists of plant species data. The collection also includes correspondence, a property list, budgetary materials, and a paper titled "Relative Index of Revegetation Potential."

This collection is a typewritten report entitled "Report of the Lignite Fields on the W.D. Washburn Lands, and in their Vicinity, Located in Burleigh & McLean Counties, North Dakota." Two engineers from Columbus, Ohio, Frank A. Ray and R.M. Haseltine, wrote the report for E.C. Washburn of Bismarck in August 1900. The document is lengthy and contains several large maps, as well as information regarding mining production, thermal levels and water table levels.
