The Annual Pennsylvania Abandoned Mine Reclamation (AMR) Conference is now accepting proposals for presentations.\u00a0 The 2017 PA AMR Conference will be held June 21-22, 2017<\/span><\/span> at the Best Western Plus Genetti Hotel and Conference Center<\/a>, Wilkes-Barre. \u00a0\u00a0Abstracts for presentations which revolve around this year\u2019s theme of \u00a0\u201cThe Future of Reclamation\u201d should be no longer than 1 page, contain the presenter\u2019s name and title of presentation, and must be emailed by the close of business on March 21, 2017<\/span><\/span> to Anne Daymut, at\u00a0anne@wpcamr.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The potential for the changing Federal environmental policies to influence abandoned mine reclamation in Pennsylvania is imminent.\u00a0 The return to a focus on coal production, the proposed shifting of spending of the Abandoned Mine Land Fund through the RECLAIM initiative, and the expected expiration of the collection fees feeding the Abandoned Mine Land Fund could each have their own costs and benefits to Pennsylvania\u2019s abandoned mine reclamation community.\u00a0 The PA AMR Conference will explore these ideas with an emphasis on the future of reclamation and the benefits it provides.\u00a0 We also welcome presentations on treatment system design, new technologies and tools, successes and lessons learned, or anything that is useful to the abandoned mine reclamation community.<\/p>\n

The AMR conference is going to be located in the heart of the Wyoming Valley and the Northern Anthracite Coalfields. We have not been back to \u201cThe Diamond City\u201d since our first regional conference that was held in June of 1996 at Wilkes University.\u00a0 A full day tour of the Wyoming and Lackawanna Valleys\u2019 abandoned mine drainage and abandoned mine reclamation projects.\u00a0 An alternative walking tour of Wilkes-Barre coal history, visits to an Anthracite Altar, an Anthracite art exhibit, and a film screening will also be offered, including the release of the full documentary, Centralia: PA’s Lost Town.<\/p>\n
