Abandoned Mine Lands: Technical Resources

This page contains technical reports, studies, and meeting proceedings related to EPA's Abandoned Mine Lands (AML) Program.

Characterization of Mine Leachates and the Development of a Ground-Water Monitoring Strategy for Mine Sites

The objective of this research project was to develop a better understanding of the composition of mine waste leachates and to identify cost effective ground-water monitoring parameters that could be incorporated into a monitoring strategy to reliably detect the migration of contaminants from hard rock mining operations.

Ground Water Issue Paper: Metal Attenuation Processes at Mining Sites

This report was published by the U.S. EPA Ground Water Forum and the National Risk Management Research Laboratory. The purpose of this Issue Paper is to provide scientists and engineers responsible for assessing remediation technologies with background information on MNA processes at mining-impacted sites. Some of the key issues concerning the application of natural attenuation for inorganic contaminants are discussed, such as the geochemical mechanisms responsible for attenuation, attenuation capacity, monitoring parameters, and evaluating whether attenuated metal and metalloid contaminants will remain immobile.
