Acid Mine Drainage (AMD)

The Shamokin Creek Watershed sits in the heart of the antracite coal region of Pennsylvania. Contaminated runoff from Abandon Mine Drainage, or AMD, from over 55 discharges in a 54 sq. mile area severely degrade the water quality of the Shamokin Creek and its tributaries. Since almost all of these discharges are legally abanoned, it's up to people like the Shamokon Creek Restoration Allaince to tackle this enormous problem. To learn more about AMD and the Shamokin Creek Restoration Alliance, please visit http://www.shamokincreek.org
