Description:
This study provided a field demonstration of an earlier feasibility study. Treated acid mine drainage was utilized to augment revegetation on graded spoil areas. Acid mine drainage was treated utilizing limestone (rock dust) and the resulatant water was spray irrigated under high pressure onto the plots. Three treatment and a control were used to evaluate the effects of the irrigation on the vegetation and resulting surface runoff.
