Acid Mine Drainage in Dry Fork

[grabjet]

I think I may have a solution (not a chemical composition but a technology) to treat this AMD in-situ. Please contact me at grabr@yahoo.com or 303-904-2725 if interested.

Thank you,

Thanks for this well-done report.

Was there any natural gas drilling in the area before the change occurred?

Thanks again.

i would just like to ask what kind of minerals was previously being extracted on the abandoned mine.

and what is the local officials doing regarding the AMD.

Coal was extracted.

Currently the site is stuck in a limbo situation between pre-law (Abandoned Mine Lands), current (Division of Surface Mine Reclamation and Enforcement) , & bankruptcy court.

No cleanup has been done but less water has been flowing this summer, however we don't know if this is due to the drought or if the mine is actually emptying out and the flow will continue to lessen.

i was wondering what was specifically causing that creek to be so discolored. i guess we can thank god for evan smith.. haha

[supremesquatchmaster]

It's iron. The iron rusts when it comes into contact with the oxygen in the water.
