Abstract Evaluation of Passive Versus Active Abandoned Mine Drainage Treatment Systems Terry Schmidt, Skelly and Loy, Inc. Watershed associations
and government agencies are often faced with the prospect of long-term
treatment of coal mine drainage in order to restore a watershed. In the
last decade, passive treatment of coal mine drainage has become an
acceptable and often preferred option. However, passive treatment is not
applicable to all water treatment situations. The presentation will
identify and compare factors relevant to treatment system selection such
as capital cost, operation and maintenance cost, space requirements,
availability of power, and other factors. Watershed associations and
government agencies can use these tools to evaluate and compare their
treatment options. |
