| Abstract |
The objective of the study was to determine the feasibility of conducting a full-scale demonstration project on the use of neutralized acid mine drainage to irrigate new vegetative cover on regraded spoil banks. Determination of project feasibility was based upon the performance and results of the following investigative measures: waters of receiving streams and pit discharges were analyzed and evaluated for treatment; regraded spoil banks were sampled and analyzed for requirements necessary for vegetative survival; and weir structures, monitor enclosures and instruments were evaluated. Four irrigation techniques were evaluated before a high pressure spray system was selected as the most practical. |
