Good video Pat. Was that at Wayne national if it was the only thing we use that water for is putting out campfire or rinsing off atv.

Were these mines dug on public or private land?

[pk066392]

Well when this one was dug it was probably owned by a coal company. Then purchased by the national forest service. But there are situations where companies lease the mineral rights to public areas

That is horrible, glad to hear that there are laws against that now.

5/5

@roguepathfinder baking soda will help neutralize the acidity, but there are far worse things to worry about with that water. Heavy metals such as mercury, lead. Toxins such as arsenic are at high concentrations in this type of water. Iron, sulpher etc.... I would drink it nor would I allow my worst enemy to do so.

Take a trip thru northern Pennsylvania to see the forever residue of ancient coal mines. I used to go trout fishing in the un-spoiled waters, but now they are far and few between and way too crowded for my tastes.
