Farr Anoxic Limestone Drain/
South Side Tipple
back to projects page
Farr (aka South Side Tipple) was completed in the summer of 2002. It was a two phase process. First, regrading and revegetation were conducted. Then, an anoxic limestone drain was put in place. This ALD has been working to take out alkalinity and raise pH but is not working at its full potential. Although Farr was number five in importance ranking, it is a highly visible area located close to Mineral City. Because of this, the group wanted the community to see a project right away. Farr is located in the South Western part of the watershed.
A third phase will take place eventually to compensate for the excessive amount of water running through the system.
