Description: Describes a wetland pilot project by the Heizer-Manila Watershed Association in West Virginia. They used a natural wetland to help ameliorate acid mine drainage.
A Natural Wetland used to treat Acid Mine Drainage entering Manila Creek Amherst-Plymouth Wildlife Management Area Bob Bonnett, Jr. Heizer-Manila Watershed Organization Putnam County, West Virginia may not quickly come to mind when we think about acid mine drainage (AMD), but the problem certainly exists for Manila and Heizer Creeks located near Poca. Mining in this area occurred prior to environmental considerations, and the two streams suffered the consequences. While Abandoned Mine Lands and the Office of Surface Mining have looked at the problems, members of the Heizer-Manila Watershed Association are working to solve them. My involvement with the Association as an intern with the Office of Surface Mining provided me with the opportunity to investigate methods to treat AMD.
