Frequently asked questions
The foundation cracked and the ground here was never natural. Connected?
Directly. Gravity-railroad fill under these blocks is still settling, and it cracks a 1950s wall that then takes whatever the headwaters are holding. The fill moves first; the water uses what it opens.
Stained water in a cellar here — Lackawanna silt or northern-field drainage?
Mine drainage is iron-stained and can arrive with no storm. Creek water in June is siltier and arrives with a rise. The color and the calendar together say which supply is open. A dry-week stain on the gravity-railroad terrace is usually the northern field; a June stain is usually the Lackawanna headwaters.
Mayfield and Jermyn sit down-valley. Do their mine benches explain this headwaters lot?
They are further down the Lackawanna, on older workings and a wider terrace. This town fails as the head of the creek and the gravity-railroad fill. A wet cellar here is local culm and a small channel. Following the down-valley towns will explain a different bench.
