| Environmental Factors | NO DISCHARGING ADITS, FILLED SHAFTS, SEEPS, OR SPRINGS WERE IDENTIFIED AT THE SITE. AN UNNAMED TRIBUTARY TO HOT SPRINGS CREEK FLOWED DIRECTLY THROUGH THE TAILINGS AT THE SITE AND EVENTUALLY DISCHARGED INTO WETLANDS. SURFACE WATER AND SEDIMENT SAMPLES WERE COLLECTED IN THE TRIBUTARY UPSTREAM AND DOWNSTREAM FROM THE SITE. AN OBSERVED RELEASE TO THE TRIBUTARY WAS DOCUMENTED FOR LEAD. THE UPSTREAM SAMPLE INDICATED THE PRESENCE OF AN UPSTREAM SOURCE. TWO POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS OPEN ADITS WERE IDENTIFIED AT THE SITE. THE ON-SITE SHAFT HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN GRATED BY THE MONTANA DEPARTMENT OF STATE LANDS - ABANDONED MINES AND RECLAMATION BUREAU. |
