Abstract
Currently there is no comprehensive survey about the types of remediation technologies being used to treat abandoned mines. The purpose of this paper is to provide information about this topic with a particular focus on hard rock mining sites. Hard rock mines can be loosely defined as non-coal, metal mines, in the United States these mines are located in the Mid-West and Western states. This paper provides an overview of treatment technologies being used to remedy environmental problems at abandoned mine sites, with a focus on innovative treatment techniques.
