Abstract: | Abstract. Helicopter-mounted electromagnetic (HEM) surveys have been
used to delimit conductive mine pools and groundwater features
at various areas in the eastern United States that contain
abandoned surface and underground coal mines. HEM was used to
delineate the source areas and flow paths for acidic,
metal-containing groundwater. This will aid remediation efforts.
A recent HEM survey of Kettle Creek Watershed, Clinton County,
Pennsylvania, using a 6-frequency electromagnetic data
acquisition system, is presented. The survey accurately located
conductive pools within underground mines, acidgenerating mine
spoil at surface mines, and areas of groundwater recharge and
discharge. |
