摘要

Coal mining in Collie (Western Australia) has produced pit lakes that range in area from <1 to 10 ha surface area, <10 to 70 m depth, 5-48 years in age water quality and the extent of remediation from none to extensive. Collie coal has low sulphur content and upon oxidation produces low amounts of acid mine drainage (AMD). However, low natural alkalinity in regional geologies produces pH as low as 3.5 in some pit lakes. Low pH is accompanied by low metal concentrations in pit lake waters, except for Al which is often at high concentrations and as very toxic species.Analysis of pit lake water quality data from 1995 to present has shown that in the absence of significant surface acidity inputs, acidity within the pit lakes slowly declines but without commensurate changes in pH. Increases in pH are only accompanied by inputs of circum-neutral groundwater or surface waters. Adits entering some pit lakes are thought to remain an important source of acidity. Experimental additions of organic matter direct the lakes on a different water quality evolution trajectory to neutral water inputs, highlighting that despite comparatively good water quality compared to many pit lakes worldwide, the lakes remain considerably different to their natural counterparts.
