Text in section 7.5.2.4 (Reducing and Alkalinity Producing System Wetlands) is incorrect and should be changed.
First sentence, second paragraph reads: "This type of system was first implemented at the Howe Bridge site in NW Pennsylvania and was initially referred to as a successive alkalinity-producing system (SAPS); the name indicated that more than one of these units could be used in series to treat very highly acidic water (Kepler and McCleary, 1994)."
Text should be changed to read:
"This type of system was first implemented at Galax, Virginia, in the late 1980s to treat highly acidic, high iron water emerging from an abandoned pyrite mine (Hendricks 1991). In 1991, a second system of this type was constructed to treat water being discharged by a coal processing waste landfill near Norton Virginia (Duddleston et al. 1992). The term "successive alkalinity producing system (SAPS)", indicating that more than one of these units could be used in series to treat very highly acidic water, was applied to these systems by Kepler and McCleary (1994), who demonstrated a successful application at the owe Bridge site in NW Pennsylvania. The Kepler and McLeary application received widespread notice, and use of these systems expanded rapidly thereafter."
