Acid mine drainage (AMD) continues to be a concern in coal mining because it reduces surface water and groundwater quality (Verburg et al., 2009) and may perhaps persist for several years. In the U.S. only, AMD pollutes over 20,000 km of streams (Skousen et al., 2019). Blasting and dewatering exposes sulfide minerals, posing threats …Web
