HRWRP Acid Pit

Project Details

The HRWRP Acid Pit #1 is a very small area with a large acid pit beside a gob pile. This project was finished in the summer of 2003 to refill the pit, regrade and revegetate the area. Open limestone channels were installed to treat the run off and keep it away from toxic spoil. This site is located West of the Harsha locations. A phase two will take place to improve wetlands leaving the site and reclaim sites contributing to seeps on the project. Tuscon of New Philadelphia constructed the project for $150,000. ODNR designed the project. A grant from the Office of Surface Mining and match from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources funded the project.
