Apr 05, 2020· Coal mining takes place in two ways: surface mining and underground mining. Both pose threats to the environment, but in different ways. Surface mining takes place primarily on mountaintops. Setting up mining operations requires clear-cutting, often of vast tracts of forests and vegetation. This removal disturbs habitats and alters landscapes.

Acid mine drainage (AMD) consists of metal-laden solutions produced by the oxidative dissolution of iron sulfide minerals exposed to air, moisture, and acidophilic microbes during the mining of coal and metal deposits. The pH of AMD is usually in the range of 2–6, but mine-impacted waters at circumneutral pH (5–8) are also common.
