25 Pa. Code § 88.100 - Hydrologic balance: acid-forming and toxic-forming spoil
(a) Drainage from acid-forming and
toxic-forming spoil into groundwater and surface water shall be avoided by:
(1) Identifying, burying and treating, where
necessary, spoil which, in the judgment of the Department, may be detrimental
to vegetation or may adversely affect water quality if not treated or buried.
(2) Preventing water from coming
into contact with acid-forming and toxic-forming spoil in accordance with
§
88.119 (relating to backfilling
and grading: covering coal and acid-forming and toxic-forming materials) and
other measures as required by the Department.
(3) Burying or otherwise treating all
acid-forming or toxic-forming spoil as soon as practical after it is first
exposed on the mine site. Storage shall be limited to the period until burial
or treatment first becomes feasible. Acid-forming or toxic-forming spoil to be
stored shall be protected from erosion and contact with surface water. Any
discharge shall be collected and treated to conform to §
88.92 (relating to hydrologic
balance: effluent standards).
