Description
Mine Drainage Technology Initiative (MDTI) (formally known as the Acid Mine Drainage Initiative) provides a forum for collaboration and information exchange with the following goals:
Develop an understanding of acidic and toxic mine drainage (MD) so as to better predict, avoid, monitor, and remediate mine drainage;
Develop innovative solutions to acidic and toxic MD water-quality problems;
...Identify, evaluate, and develop “best science” practices to predict acidic and toxic MD prior to mining; and
Identify successful remediation practices for existing sources of acidic and toxic MD and describe the best technology for its prevention.
OSMRE is looking for MDTI studies that address the goals listed above that have the potential for improving the effectiveness of both the coal industry and the regulatory authority to conducts surface coal mining and reclamation activities and regulate coal mining activities, respectively, by gaining a better understanding of acidic and toxic mine drainage effects on the environment.
