Watersheds PROJECT SPOTLIGHT Lucerne 3A/Waterworks Treatment System No one steps in the same river twice. Philosophers and writers alike have acknowledged the fact that change happens in life. Seasons change. People change. Streams change. The overall goal of the Lucerne 3A passive treatment project is to purposefully change and thereby improve the quality of stream water entering Two Lick Creek. The major root of the problem, located at the
site of the Waterworks Conservation Area, is where the Lucerne 3A abandoned mine discharge flows into Two Lick Creek. Years ago, a lime doser treatment system was installed and, although it has reduced abandoned mine drainage (AMD) pollution, this system has posed considerable maintenance and financial challenges.
