Description
"This is a sample of the lowest in elevation of three deep mine discharges that emanate from a hillside and enter the unnamed tributary (Killer Trib) to Montgomery Creek just upstream from the confluence with Montgomery Creek on the east side of 104th Cavalry Road (T-507). It flows year round. Average flow is 196 gpm, and the average pH is 3.7. This discharge is net acid. On average, it contributes 437 lbs/day of acid, 3 lbs/day of iron, 90 lbs/day of manganese, and 61 lbs/day of aluminum to the unnamed tributary to Montgomery Creek (Killer Trib). Data was also collected for this point in association with the Sky Haven Coal “Otto #1” surface mining operation (4574SM33, MP 11)."
