| Environmental Factors | NO MILL TAILINGS WERE OBSERVED AT THIS SITE DURING THE INVESTIGATION. THERE WERE NO DISCHARGING ADITS, FILLED SHAFTS, SEEPS, OR SPRINGS IDENTIFIED AT THE SITE. THE SOUTH FORK OF QUEEN GULCH WAS THE NEAREST SURFACE WATER TO THE SITE, WHICH WAS LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 1,000 FEET TO THE NORTH. NO SURFACE WATER OR SEDIMENT SAMPLES WERE COLLECTED DUE TO THE LACK OF A DIRECT RUNOFF ROUTE. POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARDS IDENTIFIED AT THE SITE INCLUDED AN OPEN SHAFT (WITH A HEADFRAME AND LOADOUT STRUCTURE) AND AN ADIT. |
