Bates*, E R. AND M. Udell. NRMRL EVALUATES ACTIVE AND SEMI-PASSIVE TECHNOLOGIES FOR TREATING ACID MINE DRAINAGE. IN: Technology News And Trends, U.S. EPA Office of Superfund Remediation and Technology Innovation, Washington, DC, (12):2-3, (2004).

Impact/Purpose:

To evaluate technologies (active biphasic or two-step lime treatment, semi-passive settling in an alkaline or lime treatment lagoon, and passive compost-free bioreactors) for treating acid mine drainage and acid rock drainage.

Description:

Two-page article describing three SITE demonstration projects underway on the Leviathan mine site in California. BiPhasic lime treatment, lime treatment lagoons and compost free BioReactors are being evaluated as innovative technologies for treating acid mine drainage.
