EPCAMR

Formed in 1995 by concerned conservation districts, the Eastern Pennsylvania Coalition for Abandoned Mine Reclamation represents a coalition of watershed organizations and reclamation partners in the Anthracite Coal Region of Eastern Pennsylvania and beyond.  EPCAMR encourages the reclamation and redevelopment of land affected by past mining practices. This includes reducing hazards to health and safety, eliminating soil erosion, improving water quality, and returning land affected by past mining practices to productive use, thereby improving the economy of the region.
