ARD Performance of 116 Treatment Systems for AMD
State and federal reclamation programs, mining operators, and citizen-based watershed organizations have constructed hundreds of passive systems in the eastern United States over the past 20 years to provide reliable, low cost, low maintenance mine water treatment in remote locations. The paper evaluates 116 systems comprised of eight system types in eight states. Each system was monitored for influent and effluent flow, pH, net acidity, and metal concentrations. Performance was normalized among types by calculating acid load removed, and also by converting construction cost, projected service life, and metric tonnes of acid load treated into cost per tonne of acid treated.
EIA Environmental Assessment in a Changing World
This report comprises the framework, findings, conclusions, and recommendations of the International Study of the Effectiveness of Environmental Assessment in 1996. The report aims to answer the question whether EA remains a relevant and effective tool into the 21st Century, responding to the demands of a changing world.
