Conceptual remediation designs were developed for priority abandoned coal mining sites that are contributing contaminated mine drainage to the Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area (BSFNRRA). Conceptual remediation designs were developed for 13 individual discharges/sites using a variety of passive treatment technologies and reclamation techniques. Preliminary cost estimates were prepared based on the conceptual remediation designs for each of the sites. Anticipated water quality from the proposed remediation designs vary from compliance of the effluent with ambient water quality criteria (AWQC) and protection of sensitive species (EC20) to compliance of the Big South Fork River with ambient water quality criteria (AWQC) and protection of sensitive species (EC20).
