Recently officials from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Environmental Protection toured mine drainage treatment and other projects in the Six Mile Run Watershed in Broad Top Township, Bedford County to learn how small communities can have a big impact on water quality problems.

Broad Top Township has used their own equipment to construct a total of over 28 passive mine drainage treatment systems in Six Mile Run, Sandy Run and Longs Run Watersheds.

For more details on what Broad Top and its partners have accomplished, take the photo tour of the treatment systems online.
