| Environmental Factors | THERE WERE NO MILL TAILINGS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SITE. THREE OF THE ADITS HAD MINOR DISCHARGES WHICH, WHEN COMBINED, MADE UP THE MAJORITY OF THE FLOW IN AN UNNAMED TRIBUTARY TO MINNEHAHA CREEK. NO MAXIMUM CONTAMINANT LEVEL EXCEEDANCES WERE OBSERVED. ADIT DISCHARGE PH MEASUREMENTS WERE 4.34 FOR ADIT #1, 6.51 FOR ADIT #2, AND 5.06 FOR ADIT #3. THE UNNAMED TRIBUTARY TO MINNEHAHA CREEK CUT DIRECTLY THROUGH THE TOES OF TWO OF THE WASTE ROCK PILES. THIS CAUSED HIGH TURBIDITY AND STAINED THE STREAMBED RED. OBSERVED RELEASES TO SURFACE WATER WERE DOCUMENTED FOR COPPER AND LEAD. THE OPEN SHAFT AND OPEN ADIT WERE ACCESSIBLE AND POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS. |
