Thats a very interesting place you found there! The orange color is the residue of iron oxidizing bacteria consuming iron from the bedrock in which the mine tunnels are dug. Thats not the toxic part, though, that would be everything else it flushes out of the mine tunnels, such as heavy metals like lead, mercury and even uranium. Or metalloids like arsenic. Yummy! Its interesting to know that in Germany they pump the water out of abandoned coal mines in an effort to prevent all kinds of disasters such as collapses underneath settlements and of course these random blow outs. That way they can also control the amount of water going into rivers to make sure there is enough dilution, because its of course not clean water. Its basically a forever maintenance effort that costs millions every year... And likewise with nuclear power we are looking at mounting costs to safely store the waste (still not a solved issue anywhere in the world, the problem is just handed down a hundred generations or so) and the proper renaturation of decommissioned plants. And its always at least in part paid for by tax money. So much for cheap energy.
Interesting video Jay. Some of the mines around Manchester England have red/brown water flowing out. Its known as ochre, and it stains everything it touches, and rivers it flows into.
What did the mine mine? Coal? Thanks for showing us Jay! 🤠👍 At 55 degrees if I lived nearby I'd tap it, run a pipe to the house and through an automotive type radiator with a fan behind it for cheap air conditioning. 🤪👍
Amazing, Jay ! Tax Dollars At Work -- All the super brains at the EPA and no one has an answer? Goes to show ya, if the Government Idiots have no one to sue they don't know WHAT TO DO --- Stay Safe, Man !
I don't know why I didn't mention that in that video lol. But this is from Wikipedia This acidic water forms through the chemical reaction of surface water (rainwater, snowmelt, pond water) and shallow subsurface water with rocks that contain sulfur-bearing minerals, resulting in sulfuric acid.
Hi Jay. This was really interesting to learn about. I didn’t notice any signs warning of the toxic water? Yikes. Thanks for sharing…I never knew about it. 👍😊🇨🇦
This reminds me of Biblical prophecy which states that everything in the oceans, lakes and rivers will ultimately die (turn to blood, which refers to everything dying). It makes me wonder how that will happen, but this gives clue perhaps.

Yeah I've seen acid mine drainage like a bluish-green color around Pennsylvania
I've seen a few geysers in my day
I don't know how Jay only has 7.4K subs, it ought to be 740k subs. Great video as always, but I wish it was longer. :)
Maybe one day!
Interesting video Jay.

Been a long time since last I saw this. Shame it’s toxic coz it looks lovely. Thanks for taking me along. Please take care
What did the mine mine?
Coal?

Yup it was a coal mine
I was near there a few years back when I went to Centralia for a Meetup but forgot to stop by and film a video
Pretty neat place definitely stop by after a heavy rain storm
Amazing, Jay !

what are the toxins in the water that make it so dangerous?
I don't know why I didn't mention that in that video lol. But this is from Wikipedia

Fascinating💧🌊
I have to check it out next time I'm down that way I've had it pinned a while
Sweet video !
That is pretty neat. Too bad it's so toxic
The forbidden water fountain
A geyser is a thermal phenomena ... this is more of an Artesian spring ...
Are there signs not to drink or use the water? Thanks Jay for another educational video.
Actually no which I'm surprised now that you mention it. Unless people just use their common sense and see that it's orange in color

Cool
But I missed what's making it toxic?
Acid mine drainage.
@@577buttfan Thank you
I know the waters gross but I’m glad to see it’s back. I think DeeDee was there recently & it had run dry. With all the rain lately….
It looks clean, but!
Oh my
