Description
"This is an in-stream sample taken in the headwaters of the unnamed tributary (Last Trib) to Montgomery Creek. It is formed by a series of discharges from several areas of reclaimed mine lands that have been directed into a large pond. The outlet of the pond forms the beginning of the stream channel. Average flow was 143 gpm, and the average pH was 6.1. On average, the loading values were as follows: 19 lbs/day of acid, 2 lbs/day of iron, 7 lbs/day of manganese, and 3 lbs/day of aluminum. Data was also collected for this site in association with the Shale Hill Coal Company “Montgomery” surface mining operation (17850106, MP 6)."
