ABOUT APPALACHIAN REGION TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER
Technology transfer provides critical support to current programs in the following ways:
- Offers information and solutions that are derived from technical studies, reports and current science-based initiatives.
- Provides proven methods, techniques, or processes for environmental resource and/or impact characterization and analysis. Also provides effective mining and/or reclamation technology to state regulatory authorities programs. Appalachia Region Technology Transfer (ARTT) assists management in identifying future priorities for programs/initiatives that help to accomplish agency mission critical goals.
IMAGING GUIDE
This manual was generated because of a clear need within the Appalachian Region to create more effective photographic images tailored to the ultimate use and effectively manage, disseminate, and electronically store these images.

Defining Manganese(II) Removal Processes in Passive Coal Mine Drainage Treatment Systems Through Laboratory Incubation Experiments
The presence of elevated concentrations of Mn(II) in coal mine drainage (CMD) is a significant problem for many regions in the USA and throughout the world. In Appalachia, centuries of coal mining have left thousands of abandoned mines that are discharging metal-contaminated CMD with Mn concentrations as high as 150 mg/L (Herlihy et al., 1990; Cravotta, 2008).
