Characterization and effectiveness of remining abandoned coal mines in Pennsylvania. Report of investigations/1995
Technical Report

OSTI ID:108008
A U.S. Bureau of Mines review of 105 remining permits in Pennsylvania indicates that remining results in substantial reclamation of abandoned mine lands, utilization of significant quantities of coal, and reduction contaminant loads (acidity and iron) from degraded mine drainage discharges. Analysis of water quality and flow rates before and after remining indicates that a majority of the mines exhibited either no change or a significant decrease in pollution rate because of remining.
