JB#2 AMD Treatment System Redesign Complete: The treatment system, located in the Raccoon Creek watershed in Smith Township, has been redesigned to more efficiently remove iron, aluminum, and manganese from an abandoned mine discharge which previously flowed directly into a tributary of Raccoon Creek. The upper treatment pond has been extended and a new drainage system installed. For more information on JB#2 and other AMD systems, visit the datashed.org project page.   The
project was funded by a DEP Growing Greener grant, and work was
completed by BKG Industries. Thanks also to Independence
Conservancy, Moran Excavating, and the Raccoon Creek Watershed
Association.
