CLEAN STREAMS INITIATIVE

	Clean Streams Program

The Clean Streams Program is a broad-based citizen/industry/government program working to eliminate acid mine drainage from abandoned coal mines. Using a combination of private and governmental resources, the Program facilitates and coordinates citizen groups, university researchers, the coal industry, corporations, the environmental community, and local, state, and federal government agencies that are involved in cleaning up streams polluted by acid drainage. Begun as an initiative in 1994, this successful program has funded 77 projects in 10 states.
