Description
"This is a discharge that forms an iron mat and emanates in a field below a reclaimed surface mine. It then joins with several small tributaries to form the headwaters of the unnamed tributary (Plant Trib) to Montgomery Creek. This is also known as the Charlie’s Weir discharge. Average flow was 14 gpm (much higher in storm events), and the average pH was 3.5. On average, the loading values were as follows: 9 lbs/day of acid, <1 lb/day of iron and manganese, and 2 lbs/day of aluminum."
