Presentation for the 2008 PA AMR and Coal Mining Heritage Conference, State College, PA
Project Goal
• Restore sustainable fisheries in the majority of WV stream miles lost to historic, pre-law coal mining.
• 2,775 AMD impaired stream miles
• 114 10 digit HUCs
Objectives
1. Assist the WVDEP in developing a strategic, watershed-based approach to efficiently determine acid mine drainage (AMD) restoration needs
2. Develop restoration plans that maximize statewide recovery of cold- and warm-water fisheries
3. Assess the outcome (ecological and economic) of this effort
