| Environmental Factors | NO MILL TAILINGS WERE OBSERVED AT THIS SITE DURING THE INVESTIGATION. NO DISCHARGING ADITS WERE OBSERVED AT THE SITE; HOEVER, A GROUNDWATER SEEP WAS LOCATED AND SAMPLED. NO MAXIMUM CONTAMINANT LEVELS WERE EXCEEDED IN THE SEEP. AN UNNAMED TRIBUTARY TO MICA CREEK WAS LOCATED EAST OF THE SITE; HOEVER, THE STREAM WAS NOT SAMPLED DUE TO THE LACK OF A DEFINED RUNOFF PATHWAY FROM THE SITE AND THE LOW METALS CONCENTRATIONS IN THE POTENTIAL SOURCE. ONE POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS ADIT OPENING AND TWO HIGHWALLS WERE IDENTIFIED AT THE SITE. NO ELEMENTS WERE ELEVATED SIGNIFICANTLY ABOVE BACKGROUND CONCENTRATIONS. |
