Cleaning Up Acid Mine Drainage

Length: 3.5 minutes

The Kiski-Conemaugh River Basin Alliance is a team of watershed groups throughout the southwest part of the state, working to clean up pollution to waterways from deserted mines that leak acid. This is known as acid mine drainage. Mining is a part of Pennsylvania's heritage, and it built much of our economy. However, now there are after effects from mining that we have to deal with, to protect the future.

Produced by the Environmental Fund for Pennsylvania as part of the GreenWorks for Pennsylvania Television show entitled Southwestern Pennsylvania Special.
