| Environmental Factors | TWO DISCHARGING ADITS WERE IDENTIFIED BUT DISCHARGE DID NOT ENTER THE CREEK VIA A SURFACE ROUTE. THERE WERE TAILINGS IN SPRING CREEK; OBSERVED RELEASES WERE DOCUMENTED FOR AS, CD, FE, MN, PB, AND ZN. THE MAXIMUM CONTAMINANT LEVEL FOR CADMIUM WAS EXCEEDED IN THE DOWNSTREAM SAMPLE AND WAS DIRECTLY ATTRIBUTABLE TO THE SITE. |
