Semi-Passive Acid Mine Drainage Treatment Technologies at the Summitville Superfund Site, Colorado

The EPA SITE Program is conducting a detailed sampling and evaluation of two innovative passive mine drainage treatment technologies at the Summitville Superfund Mining site in Southern Colorado. The technologies evaluated include the Aquafix automatic hydraulic lime dispensing system and the SAPs limestone system for adding alkalinity to acid mine waters containing toxic metals. Aquafix, USEPA Region VIII, and the USDOE are project participants.
