Description
"This is a sample of the middle of three deep mine discharges that emanate from a hillside and enter the unnamed tributary (Killer Trib) to Montgomery Creek just upstream from the mouth on the east side of 104th Cavalry Road (T-507). It flows year round. Average flow is 78 gpm, and the average pH is 3.7. This discharge is net acid. On average, it contributes 167 lbs/day of acid, <1 lb/day of iron, 35 lbs/day of manganese, and 20 lbs/day of aluminum to the unnamed tributary (Killer Trib) to Montgomery Creek. Data was also collected for this point in association with the Sky Haven Coal “Otto #1” surface mining operation (4574SM33, MP 12)."
