Potential coal mine wastewater treatment options / prepared by: Norecol Environmental Consultants Ltd.; prepared for: Conservation and Protection, Environmental Protection, Mining, Mineral and Metallurgical...: En40-229/87-03E-PDF
"Surface coal mine operations have been shown to release significant amounts of nitrogen to receiving waters. This loading of nitrogen to the aquatic environment could have detrimental effects on the aquatic environment. Current technologies to treat nitrogen enriched waters are not applicable to coal mines. These considerations have led to the evaluation of potential alternative treatment techniques involving the use of aquatic plants and upland irrigation"--Abstract.
