Environmental Factors THERE WERE NO MILL TAILINGS OR WASTE ROCK ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SITE. SAMPLING WAS FOCUSED ON WHETHER MERCURY CONTAMINATION ASSOCIATED WITH AMALGAMATION PROCESSES EXISTED. SAMPLES WERE COLLECTED FROM SEDIMENTS UNDERLYING THE ROCK PILES. MERCURY WAS THE ONLY ELEMENT THAT EXCEEDED THE BACKGROUND SAMPLE BY MORE THAN THREE TIMES, BUT WAS NOT ATTRIBUTED DIRECTLY TO THIS SITE. SURFACE WATER SAMPLES COLLECTED IN MONITOR CREEK DID NOT DOCUMENT ANY OBSERVED RELEASES. THERE WERE NO MAXIMUM CONTAMINANT LEVELS EXCEEDED AND NO OBSERVED RELEASES DOCUMENTED FROM THE SEDIMENT DATA. ACTIVE MINING OPERATIONS WERE IN PROGRESS UPSTREAM FROM THIS SITE AND MAY HAVE BEEN RESPONSIBLE FOR THE VISUAL IMPACTS TO MONITOR CREEK, WHICH INCLUDED HEAVY SEDIMENT LOADING AND AND ORANGE, IRON-LIKE PRECIPITATE.
