2009 Lick Run Pond No.1 Repair Project
General
Problem Description
The MWCD is a cost-share partner with ODNR's Division of Mineral Resource Management - Acid Mine Drainage Unit to repair and modify a detention dam in the Lick Run Bay portion of Piedmont Lake. The dam will collect and reduce the amount of aluminum sulfate entering directly into Piedmont Lake as the result of acid mine drainage.
Solution Description
Repair and replacment the spillway system and embankment for Pond No. 1 dam took place during Fall of 2009. The newly repaired embankment created a pond area which will serve to detain surface runoff causing aluminum sulfate to precipitate and settle significantly reducing the amount entering into Piedmont Lake.
