COMPLETION DATE:
Major construction completed September 1995
Water Quality Monitoring ongoing: PA DEP, Knox DMO and Slippery Rock University

MATERIALS USED FOR TREATMENT:
ALD B- 450 Tons Limestone Aggregate #1
ALD D- 1000 Tons Limestone Aggregate #1

WATER COLLECTION AND DISTRIBUTION:
Collection: 
ALD B- In a 120’ anoxic collection system, 6” perforated CPP bedded in gravel. 

ALD D- 125-gpm flow captured in innovative collection system including the vertical placement of a 12’ long, 3 foot diameter, epoxy-coated, steel casing.

Inlet:  
ALD B- From the collection system, the captured flow is distributed by a 4” perforated CPP manifold (23’L) extending along the east end (width) of the drain. 

ALD D- From the collection system, the captured flow is plumbed onto a 6” PVC pipe and distributed by a 6” perforated CPP manifold (33’L) extending along the east end (width) of the drain. 

Outlet:  
ALD B- 4" perforated CPP manifold (23’L) extending along the west end (width) of the drain and plumbed to a 6” PVC pipe, which opens up to a rock lined channel leading to Pond B.
  
ALD D- 4” perforated CPP manifold (29”L) extending along the south end of the drain and plumbed onto a 6” PVC pipe, which extended 86 feet to Pond D1.
