Oneida Number One Tunnel
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Oneida Number One Tunnel (also known as the Oneida Tunnel 1[1] or the Oneida #1 Tunnel) is a mine drainage tunnel in Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania, in the United States.[1] It is one of five major mine tunnels in the watershed of Catawissa Creek.[2] The tunnel discharges into Sugarloaf Creek near Lake Choctaw and Lake Susquehanna. The water quality of the tunnel's discharge has improved significantly since the installation of a treatment system at the site of the tunnel in 2001.
