Since opening in April 2024, the treatment plant has removed metals common in mine drainage like iron and aluminum from the water. The acidified water is also treated to raise its pH level back to neutral.
Appalachia is home to many types of music: Old-time and bluegrass, of course, but also rock and hip hop, Americana and jazz, metal and hardcore — and dungeon synth. In fact, that genre, which spun out of black metal, will be showcased outside Whitesburg, Kentucky this weekend, June 13 and 14, at Appalachian Dungeon Fest.
