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.
