Frequently asked questions
This is high Appalachian coal country. Why does May rain pond instead of running off?
The gap is a bowl with mountains on two sides, and mine workings have lowered pieces of the floor. Water that would sheet off a natural grade sits instead, because the gap and the subsidence agree on where the low point is. Elevation is not drainage here.
A pond forms in the yard and there is no creek anywhere near it. Where is it from?
A subsidence trough. Old workings under this saddle let the surface settle into a shallow basin, so a May cell collects in a low that has no channel to leave by. The pond reports what is under the yard, not what fell on it.
The mine is sealed. Does the bench still seep?
Sealed is not dry. Water that entered the measures still finds the outcrop, and a 1953 cellar on that bench is the first opening. A wet uphill wall that tracks May, with no plumbing failure, is often the seam. The company left. The hydrology did not.
