Watershed Assessment and Remediation Strategy For Abandoned Mine Drainage in the Upper Tioga River Watershed

摘要

This report was prepared using funds from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania's Growing Greener Program. The report is the result of a study to determine the extent and severity of mine drainage from abandoned surface and underground mining in the Upper Tioga River Watershed. Conceptual restoration plans to eliminate or treat these sources of mine drainage are recommended as a means to restore water quality to public use in the Tioga River and its tributaries. Cost estimates and priority rankings for abatement alternatives are provided.
