DEWATERING ACTIVE UNDERGROUND COAL MINES. TECHNICAL ASPECTS AND COST-EFFECTIVENESS. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, D.C., EPA/600/7-79/124.

Description:

This study evaluated the cost-effectiveness of dewatering an active underground coal mine as an alternative or supplement to treating acid mine drainage. A dewatering program was formulated and base-line data collection was performed in conjunction with exploration of hydrogeologic conditions and well construction. Dewatering was then performed for a total of 25 days to provide the basis for the technical and cost analysis.
