EPCAMR 3-D Display of Mine Drainage in a Mine Pool
EPCAMR constructed a hands-on, educational 3-D model/display of acid mine drainage in a mine pool. The model demonstrates the flow of mine water through a clear plastic underground mine complex. The display was used at various fairs, school events and workshops. The model complimented an AMD passive treatment systems model, constructed several years ago, and funded through a Chesapeake Bay Educational Mini-Project Grant.
