Research study into impact of mine water discharges to coastal environments

The Coal Authority requires a research study to be undertaken to understand the impacts of untreated minewater discharges with specific regard to water quality and marine ecology. The initial study will comprise a desk-based literature study, gap analysis and recommendations for further research requirements. Depending on the findings of this initial study, there may the opportunity to participate in subsequent studies as part of later work packages, potentially including field trials. The aim of this project is to identify potential impacts of minewater discharges to the marine environment and provide recommendations on sustainable iron loads that can be discharged without causing signi…
