Abandoned Mine Drainage: An Epic Tale

Tuesday, December 7th, 2010

By Anne Daymut, Watershed Coordinator

There is a new tool for individuals to learn about how Abandoned Mine Drainage (AMD) is formed and the severity of the problem in our region. WPCAMR has published an educational video on YouTube titled “Abandoned Mine Drainage: An Epic Tale”. It is the first in a series of three short films related to AMD to be published by WPCAMR over the next couple of years. If you are sitting there thinking, “Oh no, not some boring educational video about the chemistry of AMD”, don’t worry! We guarantee this will be the most entertaining fifteen minutes of AMD education you have ever received. And you may recognize some of the stars of the show.
