The Northumberland County Commissioners holds in trust 94 parcels, or 6,500 acres, of abandoned coal land, impacted by unregulated mining practices and contained coal spoils, open strip mine pits and abandoned coal mining operation structures. A project to turn this area into an outdoor recreation facility for off highway vehicles appealed to the Commissioners eight years ago. The Anthracite Outdoor Adventure Area officially opened for business on May 17, 2014, with over 10,000 users last year utilizing the trail system.

Mike Hewitt, EPCAMR, “A Tour of Germany’s Coal Fields”
Michael was one of 12 Americans that was invited to participate in the Engaging Coal Communities Tour of Berlin, Lausitz, and North Rhine-Westphalia Visitor Program hosted by the Heinrich Boell Foundation in November 2016. He had a terrific opportunity to see the lignite and hard coal regions of Germany and learned about their “just transition” away from fossil fuels and into renewable energy. The group had the opportunity to speak to government officials, power industry representatives, labor union representatives, local mayors, councilmen and foundation representatives about how communities, industry, and government worked together to make sure that their coal miners and mining landscapes were not left behind in the transition but were made to prosper and become centers for innovation and recreation.

This document summarizes Metal Removal Units (MRUs), which are patented bioreactors that use natural biological and chemical processes to remove metals like iron and manganese from acid mine drainage (AMD) and nutrient cycling. MRUs have been piloted at various sites, with results showing they can remove 2.5 kg of iron per day from AMD with an influent pH of 5.3-3.8 and remove manganese at a rate 28-140 times higher than conventional limestone beds. The document provides images of MRU prototypes and specimens showing schwertmannite and other metal oxide formations within the units.Hank Zielinski, Northhampton Generating Company, “Excellence in Surface Coal ...

AMD treatment, AML reclamation, remining, revegetation, a lessening of acid deposition, and natural attenuation are improving stream quality throughout the coal regions of the Susquehanna River Basin. However, these improving streams, for the most part, are not being delisted from the Integrated List of Impaired Waters even though they are now quality capable. In addition, many stream segments are listed as impaired in error since necessary funding and manpower was not available at the time of assessment to define what stream segment(s) of a particular watershed is actually impaired. Consequently, entire watersheds are listed as impaired, when only certain stream segments of that watershed should be listed. In 2016, the Susquehanna River Basin Commission and Department of Environmental Protection enacted an effort to assess streams that have possibly improved enough for impairment delisting, correct impairment listing errors, and better define what stream segments in a particular watershed are actually impaired. These impairment delistings will help ensure the protection of these streams and, in some cases, could improve protection further through reclassification to high-quality (HQ) and exceptional value (EV).Ryan Ellis Recent AML-related Legislative Activity
This document summarizes recent legislative activity related to abandoned mine lands (AML) reclamation. Key points include:
1) The 115th Congress and new federal administration are still getting organized but have held hearings on bills like the RECLAIM Act to accelerate AML funding for economically beneficial reclamation projects.
2) The Trump administration's 2018 budget proposed cuts to AML programs but Congress ultimately controls appropriations.
3) The Community Reclamation Partnerships Act aims to provide liability protections for state AML programs and non-profits doing water treatment, based on Pennsylvania's model.
4) Hearings examined AML accomplishments and remaining costs, finding $9.2 billion in needs remain though

The Lausanne Tunnel in Jim Thorpe was installed in 1906 to dewater the coal fields in this area. The tunnel discharges about 6000 gal/min of drainage that is relatively high in iron and manganese but fortunately, the pH is relatively high and aluminum content is low. The remediation installed in 2004 was a two part passive wetland system that has been the focus of the conservation efforts by a number of conservation organizations since that time. My involvement has been to engage the local Sierra Club as well, the local trout stocking clubs and other organizations to provide funding and manpower for upgrades at the site. In 2007, two 5ft rectangular weir flow monitors were installed, one in the wetland and the other in the bypass flow, which consists of 2/3rd of the tunnel discharge flow. Pressure transducers and solar powered data loggers were installed to record both flows so that further hydrological engineering could be applied to optimize the wetland treatment while also devising a treatment plan for the bypass flow. In 2011, artesian aerators were added to the feeder pipes to improve aeration of the water entering the wetland. The aerators, however, did consume some of the available head pressure and reduced wetland feed flow so in 2014 a 3rd 14” feeder pipe was excavated and installed bringing the wetland flow rate back to the 1800 gal/min design rate. In 2016, a solar powered compressor was installed with two aerator heads added to the wetland to further boost dissolved oxygen. Iron test kits and dissolved oxygen monitors have been used to evaluate the iron removal effectiveness of the wetland and the extent of oxygen saturation. The next steps at for further improvement are the installation of cascading settling basins in the bypass flow as well as optimization of the wetland flow distribution. This presentation will feature presentation of technical flow and composition data as well as drone video of the site.Sandra Holoman, PA DEP, “Subsidence Remediation Using Structural Support Meth...

This document summarizes the history of coal mining in northeastern Pennsylvania and the work of the Earth Conservancy over 25 years to reclaim abandoned mine lands and support community redevelopment. It describes how the coal industry declined after World War II, leaving behind environmental degradation and economic hardship. The Earth Conservancy was founded in 1992 and has since reclaimed over 2,000 acres of abandoned mine lands, supported watershed restoration projects, and facilitated industrial, commercial and residential development on reclaimed lands. Key lessons learned include starting with a strategic plan, gaining stakeholder support, effective communication, and being persistent in achieving environmental and economic goals.Anne Daymut, WPCAMR, “SMCRA Reauthorization Toolkit”
The document discusses the need to reauthorize the Abandoned Mine Land (AML) program under Title IV of the Surface Mine Control and Reclamation Act (SMCRA) and outlines a campaign to advocate for reauthorization. Specifically, it proposes extending fee collection until 2036, restructuring fees, increasing minimum program state funds, and exempting AML grants from sequestration to address the billions remaining in high priority AML sites. It provides background on SMCRA and the AML program, and outlines support for maintaining certain provisions and continuing AML priorities like emergency projects and AMD remediation.

Funding for mine land reclamation is difficult to acquire and, while the environmental benefits of reclamation are fully understood, the economic benefits of reclamation are just beginning to be appreciated. Innovations in landscape design and reuse planning can attract partnerships with lenders and investors and spur the economic development associated with reuse of abandoned mine lands. Strategies like energy development, carbon sequestration, and wetland banking can address environmental concerns, but should also preserve historical and cultural legacies in order to maximize economic gain. These environmental strategies are now being encouraged by State and Federal agencies, while the cultural legacies are more universally overlooked. This presentation will discuss the ways in which environmental design of reclamation projects could benefit both economically and environmentally by the inclusion of preservation and consideration of historical and cultural legacies of the sites, while still utilizing core environmental strategies.Mike Korb, P.E. “Making Mine Land Reclamation More of a Community Asset”
Active mine regulators require mine closure plans reclaimed to a specific post-mining land uses and abandoned mine reclamation focuses on minimizing hazards. Mine closure plans are seldom creative. This presentation will look at and discuss some of the pilot projects in progress, some past projects here and in other countries, and will touch on some “out-of-the-box” ideas for making mine closure and AML projects more sustainable and more of a community asset.

The document discusses the regeneration of Ballyronan Marina in Clones, Ireland as a case study. The small town of Ballyronan previously declined as its industries of fishing and agriculture diminished. A marina was built in 1972 but never functioned and fell into disrepair. In 1995, a community group called TABDA proposed redeveloping the marina and town in partnership with the council using EU funds. The redeveloped marina now includes facilities like a restaurant, office units, secured marina, boat yard, play areas, and spaces for sailing, canoeing, camping, and bird watching. The key characteristics of successful regeneration projects include partnerships among various stakeholders, provision of public and recreational spaces, events,

Sir Ebenezer Howard proposed the garden city concept to combine the benefits of town and country living. A garden city would be self-sufficient, surrounded by a greenbelt, and limited in size. The first garden cities built based on Howard's ideas were Letchworth and Welwyn in England in the early 1900s. They featured concentric designs with green spaces, separate zones for housing, industry, and agriculture, and an emphasis on community.

Green street maintenance and innovative design
An estimated 50+% of stormwater pollution comes from municipal streets. Viewers will learn how different communities are infiltrating stormwater in municipal rights-of-way, why that is cost-effective, and how to maintain green infrastructure and infiltration areas.
Radburn
Radburn was a planned community developed in 1929 in New Jersey as a response to rapid urbanization. It included single family homes, row houses, apartments and amenities across 149 acres. Key features included separating pedestrian and vehicle networks using cul-de-sacs and footpaths, orienting homes around common green spaces rather than facing streets, and organizing commercial areas at block intersections. While innovative at the time, some elements like underused front green spaces and preferences for more private yards led to some failures in implementation. Overall though, Radburn demonstrated an early model for planned communities that influenced later suburban developments.

Sir Ebenezer Howard proposed the garden city concept to combine the benefits of town and country living. A garden city would be self-sufficient, surrounded by a greenbelt, and limited in size. The first garden cities built based on Howard's ideas were Letchworth and Welwyn in England in the early 1900s. They featured concentric designs with green spaces, separate zones for housing, industry, and agriculture, and an emphasis on community.

Green street maintenance and innovative design
An estimated 50+% of stormwater pollution comes from municipal streets. Viewers will learn how different communities are infiltrating stormwater in municipal rights-of-way, why that is cost-effective, and how to maintain green infrastructure and infiltration areas.
Radburn
Radburn was a planned community developed in 1929 in New Jersey as a response to rapid urbanization. It included single family homes, row houses, apartments and amenities across 149 acres. Key features included separating pedestrian and vehicle networks using cul-de-sacs and footpaths, orienting homes around common green spaces rather than facing streets, and organizing commercial areas at block intersections. While innovative at the time, some elements like underused front green spaces and preferences for more private yards led to some failures in implementation. Overall though, Radburn demonstrated an early model for planned communities that influenced later suburban developments.

Natrona County Conservation District - Pathways to Water Quality
Natrona County Conservation District - Pathways to Water QualityNational Association of Conservation Districts
The North Platte River in Wyoming has been removed from the state's impaired waters list due to successful efforts to reduce selenium levels. Non-point source pollution from irrigated agriculture was causing elevated selenium. Through funding from EPA grants and local partners, over 1,600 acres of flood irrigation have been converted to sprinklers, reducing contact time between water and selenium-rich soils. Piping earthen ditches has also helped to minimize the transport of selenium in the watershed. Through these projects, selenium levels have declined sufficiently for the North Platte River to be delisted.Similar to Kathy Jeremiah, Northumberland County Planning and Development, “From AML to an Off-Highway Vehicle Facility” (17)

This study aims to assess the costs of the Forest Reclamation Approach (FRA) compared to conventional reclamation methods through a case study analysis. Preliminary results from a site in Pennsylvania show machine cycle times and costs for grading, soil placement, and seeding using the FRA. Total estimated reclamation costs per acre were $4923.13 for the FRA site versus higher expected costs for conventional methods. The results will provide guidance to operators and regulators on cost-effective reforestation techniques that support long-term forest productivity and ecosystem services.Peter Smyntek, et al, St. Vincent College - “Screen to Stream – Student citiz...

Coal and coal mine wastes are a potential source of rare earth elements. Samples from coal basins in the United States found concentrations over 300 parts per million of rare earth elements and related elements in 20% of samples. The highest concentrations were found in coal seams and associated strata in Northern Appalachia, especially the Lower Kittanning seam in Pennsylvania. Acid mine drainage treatment sludges from these areas averaged over 1,000 parts per million of rare earth elements. Further characterization and processing research is needed to evaluate the feasibility and economics of extracting rare earth elements from coal and coal byproducts.

David Thomas and Donald Hedge, Broad Top Township - “Passive Treatment System...Michael Hewitt, GISP
Broad Top Township maintains 35 passive treatment systems for acid mine drainage. Key activities include quarterly inspections, sampling, and flushing of the limestone ponds and distribution systems. Routine maintenance is needed to clean out debris in channels, pipes, and ponds to prevent clogging. Records of maintenance activities are carefully documented for each site going back to 2009. Common issues addressed are iron deposits clogging influent lines, mineral deposits clogging the spaces in limestone, and sediment filling settling ponds. Corrective actions include unclogging pipes, replacing stone and plumbing, dredging sediment, and installing baffles.Mike Korb, Tetra Tech Inc. - “How to Give the Best Field Trip Ever”
This document provides tips for planning an intriguing field trip itinerary that will be memorable for conference or meeting attendees.

This document outlines four funding possibilities and a strategy to preserve decades of success in treating acid mine drainage in Pennsylvania. The funding possibilities are: 1) A one-time $90 million congressional appropriation from the Abandoned Mine Land fund. 2) Biennial $1 million congressional appropriations. 3) Using AML Pilot Funds. 4) Establishing a charitable trust through donations. The proposed strategy has two phases: first, quantifying the impacts of treatment systems. Second, initially implementing funding through AML Pilot Project money or biennial watershed operation and maintenance program funds. The goal is to create stable, long-term operation and maintenance funding to maintain progress cleaning Pennsylvania's AMD-polluted streams.
