The effects of abandoned mine land reclamation on water quality

Conference ·
OSTI ID:7105627
Water quality improvements are documented for two West Virginia Abandoned Mine Land projects. The Helen Refuse pile effected the water quality of Berry Branch for years until reclamation improved water quality. The Norton project site consisted of an area effected by deep and surface mines. Reclamation of this area improved environmental quality and also had some effect on water quality.
