Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Acomb Minewater Treatment Scheme It is hard to imagine now that the Northumberland Coalfield extended so far up into Tynedale, but coal was mined for some fifty years at this site in the early 20th century. The mine was closed in 1952 (long before the coal industry was decimated in the 1980s). An unfortunate legacy was pollution of the Red Burn caused by the overflow of heavily contaminated minewater. This treatment scheme was established in 2001 to deal with the problem. Filtering the water through the reedbeds in the background forms the final stage in the process http://www.coal.gov.uk/resources/environment/acombminewatertreatmentscheme.cfm . |
