ANNA S MINE COMPLEX

The Anna S Mine Complex acid mine drainage treatment project is located in Morris Township, Tioga County. The Babb Creek Watershed Association received a $2,261,866 Growing Greener grant in July 2001 for construction of two passive systems to treat three large underground mine discharges.  Additional funding was provided by the Office of Surface Mining Appalachain Clean Streams Initiative and the BCWA.  The system consists of 8 large vertical flow ponds, two settling basins, and four polishing wetlands. 

Construction was completed in 2004 and the systems have been producing high quality effluent since then.  In 2010 Babb Creek was removed from the 303(d) list of degraded streams.  Current activities at the Anna S site are focusing on O&M.
