| Environmental Factors | THIS SITE HAD A VERY SMALL VOLUME OF TAILINGS IN A SECURE IMPOUNDMENT. THERE WERE TWO ADIT DISCHARGES ASSOCIATED WITH THE SITE. NEITHER DISCHARGE EXCEEDED ANY OF THE APPLICABLE MAXIMUM CONTAMINANT LEVELS. THE PH OF BOTH DISCHARGES WAS GREATER THAT 8.5. BOTH DISCHARGES RETURNED TO SUBSURFACE PRIOR TO DISCHARGING INTO THE DRAINAGE APPROXIMATELY ONE-THIRD MILE BELOW THE SITE. |
