Engineering design for the injection of alkaline CCBs into a coal mine to abate AMD, the Western Maryland CCB/AMD Initiative, Part 3 of 3
- Environmental Resources Management, Inc., Annapolis, MD (United States)
The Winding Ridge Project (the Project) is the Initiative`s first demonstration project. The Project began with a site screening and selection process conducted by MDE in which mine size, geometry, acidic discharge flow, access, topography, and land ownership characteristics were evaluated to identify the most suitable mine site for injection. The Frazee Mine, located at the top of Winding Ridge about one mile east of Friendsville, Maryland, was determined to be the most favorable location for the first demonstration project. This paper describes two phases of the Project: the laboratory study of the injection materials, and the engineering design. At the time of this writing (June 1996), the design process is nearing completion; injection is scheduled for September/October 1996.
