Doyle, F J; Bhatt, H G; Rapp, J R

This report fulfills requirements for an effective, workable handbook on pollution control costs and factors affecting these costs for the Monongahela River Basin. The information is based on the latest technological developments and cost analyses of recent reclamation projects. Although the report was developed for the Monongahela River Basin study, the cost estimates and supporting data should prove useful for all of Appalachia and other areas with similar topography, coal mine drainage pollution problems and mining history. Specific areas covered are surface mines, refuse piles, mine sealing, mine drainage treatment, air pollution control, solid waste handling and disposal, abandoned automobiles, and erosion and sedimentation control.
