GAP: Red Waterfall in 2024 Demonstrating acid mine drainage The water here is acid and iron-rich, coming up to the surface from underground mines, staining the rocks rust-red. Acid mine drainage (AMD) is a major source of water pollution and the cause of the extensive stream degradation and environmental damage. Where did this mine water come from? The Ocean Coal Company, a subsidiary of Berwind-White Coal Company of Philadelphia, PA established several mines in this region including in 1900, Ocean No. 2. It is purported that drainage from Ocean No. 2 is the chief cause of the Red Waterfall. Why is it acidic and full of iron? Hundreds of millions of years ago, the massive Pittsburgh Coal Seam formed underneath parts of Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Ohio from ancient swamp plants. Sand, silts, shells, and other matter were deposited and made a rock seal over the carbon rich vegetation. This rock contained the mineral "pyrite", made of iron and sulfur. Cola mining exposes pyrite to oxygen and ground water causing the formation of sulfuric acid and a number of red, orange, and yellow compounds. AMD occurs when this mine water seeps, or in this sea, bursts out into streams. The yellow sulfur can be seen in the shale near coal seams.

Joe Magarac, steel working Superjack Joe can bend steel bars at will. The Croatian steelworkers around Pittsburgh gave rise to the tall tales of Joe Magarac. I read that <i>magarac</i> means donkey in Croatian. So there is satire in these Joe Magarac tales of how super Joe can work through bad steel working conditions.
