Isolating Effects of Total Dissolved Solids on Aquatic Life in Central Appalachian Coalfield Streams
Elevated levels of total dissolved solids (TDS) have been identified as stressors to aquatic life in Central Appalachian coalfield streams. At present there are no aquatic life water quality criteria for TDS in the primary coal-producing Central Appalachian states (KY, VA, WV). In all three states, mining-related impacts on aquatic life have been characterized using measures of benthic macroinv...
متن کاملCharacterization of manganese oxide precipitates from Appalachian coal mine drainage treatment systems
The removal of Mn(II) from coal mine drainage (CMD) by chemical addition/active treatment can significantly increase treatment costs. Passive treatment for Mn removal involves promotion of biological oxidative precipitation of manganese oxides (MnOx). Manganese(II) removal was studied in three passive treatment systems in western Pennsylvania that differed based on their influent Mn(II) concent...
متن کاملA GIS-based decision support system for revegetation and reclamation of Opencast Coal Mine spoils
Abandoned coal mine spoils can result in severe pollution and have aesthetic on the local environment. A range of reclamation techniques is available for substrate but only through the use of vegetation to stabilize coal mine spoils can complete long-term rehabilitation be achieved. Experimentation has been undertaken at coal mine sites to attempt to elucidate and overcome limitations to vegeta...
متن کاملEffect of Soil Ameliorators on Ectomycorrhizal Fungal Communities that Colonize Seedlings of Pinus densiflora in Abandoned Coal Mine Spoils
In this study, the effect of soil ameliorators on ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungal communities in coal mine spoils was investigated. Organic fertilizers and slaked lime were applied as soil ameliorators in 3 abandoned coal mine spoils. One year after the initial treatment, roots of Pinus densiflora seedlings were collected and the number of ECM species, colonization rate, and species diversity were...
متن کاملGeochemical Processes Affecting the Mobility of Dissolved Selenium in Surface Coal Mine Backfill Environments
During surface Fadlelmawla', K.J. Reddf, and G.F. Vance3 coal mining, rock material overlying the coal is redistsibuted with respect to its original stratigraphic position. Oxidation of the redistributed backfill material may release dissolved selenium (Se) to groundwater in backfill systems. This study was initiated to examine the chemistry of Se in the groundwater backfill environment. Both b...
