| Environmental Factors | THERE WERE NO MILL TAILINGS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SITE. ONE ADIT DISCHARGE WAS ASSOCIATED WITH THE SITE, WHICH FLOWED ACROSS THE DUMP INTO INTERMITTENT DAISY CREEK. THE DISCHARGE EXCEEDED THE MAXIMUM CONTAMINANT LEVEL FOR CADMIUM. NO OBSERVED RELEASES TO SURFACE WATER WERE DOCUMENTED FOR THIS SITE, ALTHOUGH WASTE ROCK WAS OBSERVED IN THE STREAM CHANNEL AND VEGETATION WAS LACKING ALONG THE STREAM BANK FOR MORE THAN 50 FEET DOWNSTREAM FROM THE ADIT CONFLUENCE. THE DOWNSTREAM SAMPLE IN DAISY CREEK EXCEEDED THE MAXIMUM CONTAMINANT LEVEL FOR CADMIUM; HOWEVER, THE UPSTREAM SAMPLE ALSO EXCEEDED THE MAXIMUM CONTAMINANT LEVEL FOR CADMIUM, INDICATING THE PRESENCE OF AN UPGRADIENT CONTAMINANT SOURCE (TIGER MINE). |
