Acid Mine Drainage Prevention at Bunker Hill Mine
Acid Mine Drainage Prevention at Bunker Hill Mine
The formation of acid mine drainage at the Bunker Hill Mine, located in Kellogg, Idaho, poses a large risk to the environment. In this project, research and design of a mine cap was completed to prevent precipitation from infiltrating into the mine through the Guy Caves surface depression. An economic analysis of the construction costs was also completed to guide Bunker Hill's mitigation plan.
