Abstract |
The control of erosion and sedimentation from disturbed lands is a subject of increasing interest, particularly in the area of surface mining. Because of the hydrologic conditions and steep terrain in Appalachia, a large share of the eroded material comes from surface mines, largely controlled through the use of sedimentation ponds. With the passage of the 1977 Clean Water Act which has a specific effluent limitation of total suspended solids from surface mine sedimentation basins, the Environmental Protection Agency has mandated that sediment basins be designed to achieve a specific effluent quality. Two methods for achieving this goal have been investigated during this study: physical modifications to sediment basin design parameters and the use of chemical coagulants. As a result of this study, methods have been determined for upgrading sediment pond efficiencies by physical modifications and coagulant usage. |
