| Environmental Factors | THERE WERE NO MILL TAILINGS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SITE. A MINOR DISCHARGE FROM THE ON-SITE ADIT WAS OBSERVED AT THE TIME OF THE INVESTIGATION. NO MAXIMUM CONTAMINANT LEVELS OR MONTANA NUMERIC WATER QUALITY STANDARDS WERE EXCEEDED IN THE ADIT DISCHARGE. THE DISCHARGE COMBINED WITH AN UNNAMED TRIBUTARY WHICH FLOWED OVER AND THROUGH THE WASTE DUMP AND THEN DISCHARGED TO GALENA CREEK. A SECOND SURFACE WATER SAMPLE WAS COLLECTED FROM THE DISCHARGE AFTER FLOWING THROUGH THE WASTE ROCK DUMP. THERE WERE NO MAXIMUM CONTAMINANT LEVEL EXCEEDANCES. SURFACE WATER SAMPLES WERE COLLECTED UPSTREAM AND DOWNSTREAM FROM THE SITE IN GALENA CREEK. MAXIMUM CONTAMINANT LEVELS WERE EXCEEDED FOR CADMIUM AND ANTIMONY IN BOTH THE UPSTREAM AND DOWNSTREAM SAMPLES. THERE WAS LITTLE STREAM BANK VEGETATION OBSERVED, AND PREDOMINANT IRON OXIDE STAINING WAS EVIDENT DURING THE INVESTIGATION. THERE WAS A SHAFT OBSERVED ABOVE THE ADIT WHICH HAD CAVED AND POSES A SAFETY HAZARD. |
