·
OSTI ID:6682229
The effects of abandoned-mine lands and their reclamation on suspended sediment, channel cross-section profile, and water quality were measured on West Branch Shade River, Ohio. During the period of study, mean suspended-sediment concentration was unchanged for West Branch Shade River near Burlingham, where 48% of the abandoned mines were reclaimed by the end of 1984. Mean suspended-sediment concentration at West Branch Shade River near Harrisonville, which was 100% reclaimed by the end of 1984, decreased from 8.6 tons/acre ft of runoff in 1984 to 0.15 in 1985. Channel profiles indicated West Branch Shade River near Harrisonville was scouring, whereas West Branch Shade River near Burlingham was filling. The greatest change in water quality during the study period was observed in West Branch Shade River near Harrisonville, where pH increased to neutral, alkalinity concentration increased, and acidity concentration decreased. 21 refs., 8 figs., 7 tabs.
