Objectives: Measure the net TDS elution potential of a range of materials originating from surface coal mines in Central Appalachia and analyze the following geochemical properties:
− Saturated paste SC, pH, and ionic composition − Microwave assisted acid digestion and total sulfur (total-S) − Citrate-dithionite (CD) - extractable Al, Fe, and Mn − Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) pH and SC
Investigate the nature of the boundary between weathered and unweathered strata to determine if:
− An abrupt boundary exists at some confining layer, such as a shale or mudstone
layer; or − The boundary is more diffuse, being more related to the distance from the earth’s
surface.

Objectives:
Develop a set of simple field indicators for predicting TDS elution potential by statistically relating the geochemical properties described above to the following properties:
− Munsell color, hue, value, and chroma − Rock type − Horizon Type − Degree of preweathering − Hydrochloric (HCl) acid fizz test − H2O2 reaction

SC had a very strong direct and linear relationship with the sum of all of the ions study… ~1:1 ratio
Sulfate-S, Ca, and Mg dominated saturated paste SC for the samples studied
Many other ions present in lower concentrations did not increase from low to high TDS samples (Se DID increase from low to high TDS)significantly
Shallowest shale/mudstone layer forms boundary between weathered/unweathered spoils
Unweathered samples lower in SC, Ca, Mg, and sulfate-S
SC, sulfate-S, Ca, Mg, Se all higher in heat/violent H2O2 reaction samples
Low TDS Risk High TDS Risk
Yellowish-brown Soil, sandstone Cold H2O2 reaction Low Se Weathered – above SH/MS layer
Dark gray, very dark gray, black Shale, mudstone, coal Heat or violent H2O2 reaction High Se Unweathered – below SH/MS layer
