This permit was issued under a Project XL agreement between the DEP and the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Project XL is EPA's program to test innovative approaches to environmental protection using regulatory flexibility to achieve superior environmental performance. Under Project XL, a Consent Order and Agreement between Amerikohl Mining, Inc. was executed on October 17, 2001. The purpose of this agreement is to improve water quality in Soldier Run (Jefferson County) through encouraging remining and acid mine drainage abatement measures. The agreement will base compliance on in-stream water quality and the implementation of best management practices (BMPs), instead of numeric effluent limitations measured at individual discharge points. The agreement applies only to this surface mining permit. Soldier Run is one of up to eight acid mine drainage impacted watersheds where this approach under Project XL will be evaluated.
