Huntington, R L

Acid leachate caused by storm gave rise to a serious water pollution problem and discoloured the banks of a creek for 3 miles. In order to overcome this problem, the surface of the coal pile storage area was analyzed and treated with surplus of powdered agricultural limestone to neutralise the acid in place as it is formed.
