| Environmental Factors | THERE WERE TWO DISCHARGING ADITS ON-SITE. ONE ENTERED SURFACE WATER AND WAS SAMPLED. THIS DISCHARGE HAD A FLOW RATE OF APPROXIMATELY 7 GPM, A PH OF 2.292, AND A SPECIFIC CONDUCTANCE OF 2,610 UMHOS/CM. THIS DISCHARGE EXCEEDED MAXIMUM CONTAMINANT LEVELS FOR ARSENIC, CADMIUM, COPPER, NICKEL, AND ANTIMONY. THE TRIBUTARY OF JACK CREEK RECEIVED THE ADIT DISCHARGE AND FLOWED THROUGH THE TAILINGS. OBSERVED RELEASES WERE DOCUMENTED FOR ARSENIC, CADMIUM, COPPER, LEAD, AND ZINC. ARSENIC AND CADMIUM EXCEEDED MAXIMUM CONTAMINANT LEVELS IN THE DOWNSTREAM SURFACE WATER SAMPLE. OBSERVED RELEASES TO THE STREAM SEDIMENTS WERE ALSO DOCUMENTED FOR ARSENIC, COPPER, LEAD, ANTIMONY, AND ZINC. THERE WERE NO HAZARDOUS OPENINGS ON-SITE. |
