Frequently asked questions
Hazleton is also anthracite. Does a Shamokin Creek cellar take water the same way?
Same seam family, different creek and a different bench. Shamokin sits on culm stacked above Shamokin Creek, with September the pulse and mine water that never shuts off. Hazleton's geometry is not this hollow. Do not copy a Hazleton diagnosis onto Polish Hill.
September is over. Why is the buried face of a culm lot still wet?
That face is holding the spoil, not the creek. Rain that entered the culm above the house is still moving downslope days later. Mine drainage sets the flood question for the lowest flats; the cut slope sets the seepage question, and they are not the same job.
The colliery is sealed. Does Polish Hill still take mine water on a dry September morning?
It can. Closed is not dry. Mine water still finds Shamokin Creek, and a cellar on that terrace can wet from below because the workings were never removed, only abandoned. The creek keeps the supply steady, so the mine hydrology is a fair-weather problem as much as a storm problem.
