Description:   The Tennesee Valley Authority has constructed an aerobic wetland system which relys on oxidative methods, through the use of substrates such as high calcium limestone and spent mushroom compost.  The study analyzed the design, construction, operation and maintenance of the wetland for treating Acid Mine Drainage (AMD) from coal ash, coal mining spoil, and coal ash refuse.  The processes and optimum development in the aerobic area with high Fe and low pH was discussed with reference to vegetation and anoxic limestone drains.
