State Environmental Authorities Plug Acid Mine Drainage Leak

Muddy Creek Acid Mine Drainage This wasn’t the first time Dave Bassage had seen orange water gush down the hillside and into Muddy Creek. He was kayaking down the stream when the original blowout happened in 1994 at the abandoned T&T Mine Complex in Preston County. Last Thursday, another blowout overwhelmed a pipeline at the $8.5 million treatment facility and sent hundreds of thousands of gallons of highly acidic water and sediment into the creek. The water ran orange once again. “It was like a recurring bad dream,” Bassage said “It really hit me in the gut.” State environmental authorities said Monday that crews have contained the leak at the acid mine drainage treatment facility.
