Apr. 18, 2011 -- A state-of-the-art Zero Liquid Waste Discharge system will treat high volume, complex mine wastewater from CONSOL Energy's Blacksville #2, Loveridge, and Robinson Run mines.
Veolia Water Solutions & Technologies will design, build, and operate the system, which will be located near Mannington, WV.
