Acid Mine Drainage Site Cyanotype

1
This cyanotype depicts the Silver Creek Acid Mine Drainage (AMD) remediation site. AMD is water that has been polluted by contact with mining debris, becoming enriched with acids and heavy metals. This cyanotype addresses the themes of Energy & Extraction, as this site would not exist without coal mining. The drainage from this site is rich in iron due to the high sulfide mineral content in coal.
