Harsha North

Project Details

Harsha North was the highest contributor of AMD contamination and was also high in iron, acidity, and aluminum contribution. It was ranked second highest of all sites by the Huff Run group in their initial planning stages. The site was primarily toxic coal refuse piles and highwalls along with areas affected by deep mine entries, deep mine drainage and unreclaimed contour surface mines. The Harsha sites are located in the middle of the watershed. An Ohio EPA 319 grant administered by Crossroads RC&D along with an OSM Clean Streams grant were secured to fund this project. Aide from our local solid waste districts helped remove trash from the site. Harsha North was completed in November 2006. Construction was completed by Tuscon of New Philadelphia for $686,186. The design was done by ATC Associates for $106,909.
