MSE's professional staff offers a broad range of
technical expertise applicable to mining properties and abandoned mine lands
including the treatment of acid mine drainage, assessment of groundwater
contamination, reclamation of acidic waste rock and tailings, and mine
portal closure. Through our long-standing relationships with government
agencies and private concerns, we have gained considerable experience in
determining environmental impacts, assessing human health and ecological
risk, and managing removal actions. MSE personnel have professional experience
in the mineral exploration industry, giving us unique insights into mine
operations and the legacy of physical and chemical impacts that remain once
mining operations cease. A partial list of our mine-related experience is
