Eastern Pennsylvania Coalition for Abandoned Mine Reclamation (EPCAMR) is a non-profit organization focused on addressing abandoned mine drainage and reclaimed lands within eastern Pennsylvania. Based in Ashley, Pennsylvania, the group operates as a coalition of watershed organizations, conservation districts, and reclamation partners across 16 counties, spanning the anthracite and bituminous coal regions. Its work centers on reducing health and safety hazards, improving water quality, preventing soil erosion, and promoting the productive use of lands affected by mining, while fostering collaboration among government agencies, industry, and conservation groups. EPCAMR supports remining and reclamation efforts, educates the public about mine drainage issues, and seeks funding and partnerships to advance restoration, assessment, and watershed-building initiatives. A key aspect of its role is serving as a liaison among local, state, and federal entities and other stakeholders to coordinate abandoned mine reclamation activities. In recent years, EPCAMR has pursued partnerships with organizations such as the Pennsylvania Environmental Council and the Susquehanna River Basin Commission to expand its field investigations and collaborative projects in the region.
