If abandoned mine reclamation is part of your work, here is a meeting worth adding to your calendar. The Western Pennsylvania Coalition for Abandoned Mine Reclamation – WPCAMR – is holding its quarterly board meeting on Wednesday, May 13, 2026 at 10 AM at the Clearfield Conservation District in Clearfield, PA.
What Is on the Agenda?
The meeting will cover programs and policies around abandoned mine reclamation, advocacy efforts, and updates on funding. Topics include:
- The latest news on infrastructure funding and other funding sources for AMD remediation
- An update from PA DEP on BAMR – the Bureau of Abandoned Mine Reclamation – programs
This is exactly the kind of conversation H2O Water Network partners working on AMD issues in western Pennsylvania need to be part of. Abandoned mine drainage continues to affect streams and drinking water sources across the Upper Ohio River Basin, and staying current on state programs and funding pipelines is critical.
