Water Balance for the Jeddo Tunnel Basin Luzerne County, Pennsylvania
The Jeddo Tunnel, a man-made water-level drainage tunnel, was constructed at the turn of the century to dewater deep mined coal measures in the Eastern Middle Anthracite Field (Ash and others, 1950; LaRegina, 1988). The Jeddo Tunnel drainage system involves four major coal basins: Big Black Creek, Little Black Creek, Cross Creek, and Hazleton. Following the collapse of the deep mining industry in 1955, the tunnel has continued to drain the abandoned mine workings. Currently, the Jeddo Tunnel drains over 30 square miles and discharges an average of 80 cubic feet per second (cfs) into Little Nescopeck Creek, located outside of the coal measures. The Little Nescopeck Creek, a tributary to Nescopeck Creek, receives all the flow from the tunnel and is severely impacted by the water quality-impaired discharge from the adjacent mined watershed. The discharge from the tunnel is the primary source of pollution in the Little Nescopeck Creek Watershed.
