Mining isn't the only consideration.  We happen to live on a ridge leading
off from Little North Mountain in the Northernmost county in Virginia.
 
Our water is great.  Tastes good.  Nothing foul in it.  But on other parts
of this mountain water from one plot is foul with sulphur and microbes.
The next plot over has clear and good water.  Oh its "clear" from both
plots.  One is virtually poisonous and the other is healthy.  Yes Bob
pointed out sulphur is needed - but in trace amounts.  Too much of almost
anything is bad (well concrete things).
 
This is a non-mined area with no obvious signs of problems.

Well it was colored more like a gray squirrel with a white belly and tail
tip.  If they can't get the color right how should the get the personality?
 
Oh and the villan is Cruella DeVile (don't bet on the spelling)
