The SR 81 Passive Treatment System Rehabilitation project involves the rehabilitation and expansion of a treatment system for the abatement of abandoned mine drainage. Construction will include installing a sludge pond upgradient of the existing treatment system, removing iron sludge from existing settling ponds and wetlands, adding a second Anoxic Limestone Drain within the footprint of the settling pond, and enhancing the ''natural wetland by installing z-pile moat and a distribution berm to prevent short circuiting from flooding by Slippery Rock Creek (Trout Approved Waters, CWF). Rock lined spillways and channels will be constructed to convey flows between the components of the passive treatment system. Wetland plantings will be conducted following construction to provide rapid establishment of dense and diverse vegetation. This treatment system has been operation for 20 years and is in need of repair. A Growing Greener Grant has been received for this project. Latitude: 41.08889°, Longitude: -79.859167°.
