Control of Mine Drainage from Coal Mine Mineral Wastes. Phase II. Pollution Abatement and Monitoring
Acid runoff from refuse piles can be controlled by covering the mineral wastes with soil, establishing a vegetative cover, and providing adequate drainage to minimize erosion. The average acid formation rate for the entire restored refuse pile was estimated at 16 lb acid as CaCO3/acre/day, or a reduction of 91+% when compared to the original unrestored pile. Slurry lagoons containing the fine coal rejects can be stabilized and the air pollution problem controlled by either a vegetative cover established directly on the mineral wastes without soil or by the application of a chemical stabilizer. Cost data from this project indicate that it would cost approximately $6,100, $8,000, and $9,800 per acre to cover with grass a refuse pile with one, two, and three feet of soil respectively.
