The Western Pennsylvania Coalition for
Abandoned Mine Reclamation (WPCAMR) works with many people - from watershed
volunteers to technical remediation experts; from local government
to state and federal agencies. Quite often, WPCAMR's efforts
expand into areas where reclamation activity is limited, creating
excitement and showing the local community that something can
be done to clean up its dead streams, and giving people hope
where in the past little existed. WPCAMR also works with industry,
high schools, colleges and universities. After all, acting on
solutions to mine drainage problems provides an educational experience
for all involved. |
