Abstract: Ceramic cup soil-water samplers were used to determine the soil-water ionic concentrations of copper, iron, and sulfate within an acid spoil dump from 1974 to 1979. Over that time, samples from revegetated and nonrevegetated areas are compared. Differences in sample results cannot be attributied to the effects of revegetation.
