Brownsville Area Revitalization is a community-driven initiative aimed at restoring the economic and social vitality of Brownsville, Pennsylvania. The initiative was launched in response to the decline of the region's coal mining industry, which had been a major source of employment and prosperity for decades.

The Brownsville Area Revitalization initiative focuses on three main areas: economic development, community engagement, and physical improvements. The economic development component involves attracting new businesses and industries to the area, as well as supporting existing ones. This includes providing training and resources to local entrepreneurs and small business owners.

The community engagement component involves bringing together residents, community organizations, and local government officials to work towards common goals. This includes hosting events and workshops to promote civic engagement and foster a sense of community pride.

The physical improvements component involves renovating and beautifying public spaces, such as parks and downtown areas, to make them more attractive to residents and visitors alike. This includes improving infrastructure and investing in public art installations.

Overall, the Brownsville Area Revitalization initiative is focused on creating a vibrant and sustainable community that offers a high quality of life for all residents. By working together, community members hope to build a brighter future for Brownsville and the surrounding region.

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.
