(Tahle I). of slope. empirical observation;;, suggest that the internal moisture content decreases
with a sealed coal pile surface.
Ohservations of the flow dynamics within the coal pile in simulation 6 revealed that the movement of water
and particles through the dry lOne of the coal was accomplished hy preferential flow through macropores in
the sediment. No adsorhellts of this flow outside of the pore channel was evident. As such. the'.e pores were
observed to be direct routing conduits to the bottom of the coal pile.
Table I provides the measured mean infiltration and surface runoff flow rates and flow proportions for all
simulation runs. Collected runoff sample volumes for each simulation were compared with the known rainfall
volume. and internal moisture. surface runoff and infiltration proportions computed. This technique was
to compute 'calculated runoff flow proportions' observed for each simulation. However. owing to low internal
moisture content values. internal moisture content was considered negligible for simulations 7 to 21. This per
mitted a direct comparison of collected inhltration and surface runolT sample volumes. This technique was used
to compute 'estimated runoff flow proportions'. It was observed that the proportion and rates of <,urfacc runoff
increased and infiltration decreased as the coal pile slope increased and the coal hecame compacted and surface
scaled, The compaction and <.;ealing of the coal bed was observed to increase the response time of surface runoff
discharged from the simulated coal pile, Significant change;. in response time;.. ponding and slumping. resulted
in dilTerent simulation duration. During simulation 7 (6'. new). it was ohserved that as the rainwater impacted
the coal bed line dust was expelled from the hase of the simulator. sugge;.ting the presence of a downward
gradient caused hy rain inliltration, Inspection of the coal surface during simulations and with depth
following simulations minimal to no edge effech in the form of increased inhltratioll or runoff.
Extensive slumping occurred for the newly bedded coal at a slope (simulation 13). making the
measurement of surface runoff suspended solid concentration dinicult. In this case the large mass of eroded
(slumped) sediment was not incorporated into the suspended solid" analysis owing to the improbability
that such heavy sediment would he transported far from the coal pile and reach receiving waters, Strong
variability in surface runoff suspended ;.olids concentration to slope angle prohibit any trend identification
with slope. Strong trend". however. were apparent with the infiltrated where concentrations decrease
with increased slope (Tahle II). It was observed that surface type had a strong control over suspended

loosely consolidated coal. and/or at the heginning of the simulation event (i.e. first flush). followed by the
raked simulation:" The lowest surface runoff suspended solid concentrations occurred when the coal surface
became compacted and sealed. Generally. "imilar relationships were found for tht: infiltration solid
concentrations through the simulated coal pile. with the exception that the solid concentrations were
much less than the surface runoff. No relationship hetween pH/conductivity and change in coal pile slope
wa" observed for all simulation events (Tahle 11). allhough. conductivity was four to live times higher for
inliltration samples collected from the flat (0) slope,
Investigation of particle characteristics for infiltration (simulations I to 5) and surface runotf (simulation"
16 to 21) samples (Tahle II I) revealed a minimal difference between the aggregated particle d 50 and of the
disaggregated d.'io (by numher). Mean aggregate 1'0 size for the intiltration samples was observed to he

of
386 and 3-42 for the aggregated and disaggregated particles respectively. When 95<1c confidence intervals
were placed around the mean particle size observed in individual simulation events. two of the hve events
sampled for infiltration runoff particle structure demonstrated no difference in particle size between
the aggregated and disaggregated samples. Five of the six events sampled for surface runoff particle structure
also demonstrated no signihcant difference in particle size (Figure 2).

runoff during subsequent rainstorm events, Rainfall intensity (in the range examined) appeared to have minimal
effect on the hydrological properties of the coal compared with the evolution of physical state as described
herein, The initiaL loosely consolidated nature of the coal appeared to permit good internal transmission of
rainwater through multiple pathways (increased pore spaces), However, compaction of the coal and breakdown
of aggregates into finer grains during rainfall exposure resulted in clogging and reduction of pore space
within the coal bed, This reduced water infiltration through the coal pile and increased surface runoff during
subsequent storm events. In industrial coal piles, gravimetric and hydraulic compaction of the coal is greater
owing to compaction by large equipment used for coal-pile management and by the substantially greater
mass of the coal pile itself. Thus, compaction also would reduce coal pile porosity, inhibiting infiltration and
increasing surface runoff. At an industrial coal tield site where the coal piles often are piled on compacted
surfaces (i,e, soil or concrete), the formation of a pressure gradient within the coal pile system also may
inhibit rainwater infiltration, The underlying compacted surface may inhibit the expulsion of air from the
coal pile, preventing development of a downward pressure gradient. causing the air tilled pore spaces to
resist rainwater intrusion. It also is believed that the hydrophobic nature of coal impeded water movement
through micropores within the coal bed as hydrogen bonding repels water (Son and Radke, 1984). Thus. the
hydrophobic effect may prevent water movement through small pore spaces within the coal pile. This effect
may be enhanced where coal piles are sprayed with oils to control dust. Large suspended particles observed
in coal-pile inllitration discharge also may inhibit water movement through coal micropores, as they can act
as plugs, sealing pore spaces in which water normally would be transmitted.
Coal-pile systems do not exhibit basic Darcy (1865) infiltration flow properties in which water moves
through micropore spaces. Rather. as observed in simulation 6 (0', sealed), water moved preferentially through
the coal pile via maeropore spaces created between large coal particles, with no interact jon or saturation of
the coal itself. It was also observed that when the coal pile dried (several days without rainfall exposure) it

formed fractures similar to those described by Bouwer (1991), These fractures are believed to assist \vater
transport within the pile and may account for the high infiltration flow proportions ohserved during simulation
4 (On. sealed) when the coal hed was not exposed to rainfall for one month. The higher conductivity for the
(l" slope simulations suggests that longer water-to-coal contact times result in increased leaching of ions out
of the coal pile system, Assuming a similar result with contaminants bcing leached into the dissolved phase.
managemcnt practices that minimize water contact time would be advisahle.
The predictive capahility of runotT quantity from coal storage facilities is limited (Andcrson and Youngstrom.
1976; Davis and Boegly. 198 L Zelmanowirz el al.. 1995 J. Attempts have heen made to quanti fy coal-pile
runoff (Brookman et al.. 1983). hut such estimates often are site-specific and not representative of other
coal-pile systems. In addition. the literature poorly characterizes coal-pile hydrodynamics through use of soil
properties. making it difficult to accurately parameterize coal-pile runoff models (Brookman ct al .. 1(83). This
study demonstrates that coal piles do not hehave like porous soils. Thus. the documented !low proportions
and rates (Tahle I) better descrihe coal-pile hydrodynamic, and should provide Illore accurate results if used
when modelling coal-pile drainage,
New coal appears to be less stable and exhibits a higher porosity. permitting an increased ability for the
loosely aggregated coal to hreakdowll and he removed from the pile as suspended solids, This particularly
is true ror sloped suri'aces. where the likelihood of an increase in suspended solids mass transport from
coal piles in surface runoff is greater. As '>uch. slope management should he a consideration in minimizing
suspended solid loads derived from coal piles hy surface runoff. As rainfall progressed. the "uspended solid
concentrations in the runoff generally decreased as available sediment (i.e. easily eroded) was exhausted. In
large coal-pile systems this point may take a long time to achieve. if it is reached at all. Although variahility
exists in the surface suspended solids concentration data. all samples (surface and infiltrated) exhihit levels
greater than the acceptahle water quality guideline level of 10 111g I I (when the ambient cOllcentration in the
receiving water is less than 100 mg I I). as outlined by the Canadian Council of Resource and Environment
Ministers (1993). This suggests that coal-pile runoff may he a major contributor of suspended solids to aquatic
ecosystems.
Suspended sediment samples \"'ere Ilot observed to be aggregated within surface rUlloff or infiltration, This
is supported by Hogg ( 1 9 ~ ( ) . who demonstrated that coal did not flocculate well and that tlocculants were
needed to induce coal particle aggregation in 'hlackwater' treatment. The non-aggregating nature or coalmakcs
modelling efforts of coal-derived particulate fate simpler as the complicating factor of !locculatiol1 does not
need to he taken into account when estimating transport. Aggregation alters the hydrodynamic properties of
suspended sediments that enter receiving waters by modifying the effective size. density and porosity of the
suspended particles (Tsai et al .. 1987: Droppo eI (/1 .. 1997. 1998. 2(00). As coal particles were not ohserved
to aggrcgate and because their relative density is low (12 to 1,8 gm cm-') (Weast and Astle. 1 9 ~ I). it is
believed that they may have a greater chance of dispersion via kinetic motions within the water column.
resulting in a wider geographical range of contamination (!low dependent). As sllch. a management strategy
that utilizes settling with possible chemical or biological flocculation prior to effluent discharge (for example.
controlled stormwater detention pond) would he a viahle hest management practice for control of coal pile
runoff.
CONCLUSION
Runoff from stockpiled coal has the potential to deliver significant quantities of sediments and pollutants to
receiving water hodics. Using a coal-pile rainfall simulator. this paper has examincd how the internal and
surficial structural characteristics of coal piles may intluence internal storage. infiltration and surface runoff.
Compaction of coal resulted from self-weighted consolidation and by hydraulic breakdown of loosely
aggregated coal with subsequent movement of particles down into void spaces, Typical coal tield management
\vill also result in compaction hecause of heavy machinery use. Such compaction resuits in a reduction of

infiltration and an increase in surface runoff. Infiltration may be further impeded by the development of a
pressure gradient within the coal pile. Movement of water through the coal was restricted to the preferential
movement of infiltrated water through macropores or cracks within the coal pile. Surface runoff was further
increased owing to the development of a surface seal (upon surface drying). the hydrophobic nature of the
coal and oil compounds. and as slope angle increased.
Solids removal from the coal pile generally increased for surface runoff and decreased within infiltration
as coal-pile slope increased. Newly deposited coal with high slopes resulted in the greatest concentrations of
solids removed. whereas "ealed. low-angle slopes yielded the least solids. Retainment of solids within coal
piles owing to infiltration 'draw down' was minimal relati ve to the mass removed by surface runoff. The
particles removed from the coal pile were generally not flocculated. suggesting a possible longer range of
transport should such particles enter a receiving water system.
Given the potential for the delivery of contaminated sediments to the aquatic environment from coal piles.
this research suggests that the optimal slope for site-specific coal piles be determined that minimizes water
contact time. but at the same time, docs nOI allow for mass slumping and rill erosion to occur. Although
optimal contact time would have to be modelled based on the wars hydraulic properties and on the coal-pile
size and average rainfall intensity, our preliminary work would suggest that the optimal angle be below 25.
Allowing for the development of a 'sealed' surface is also a beneficial strategy for minimizing solids removal.
A storm water treatment system such as a detention pond \vith potential tlocculant additives is recommended
as a remedial measure for the containment and treatment of coal-pile-derived sediments.
