Abstract
Assesses mine site on moderate side slopes, consisting of a large collapsed adit with minor seepage, approximately 500cy of wasterock near a small creek. A Niton XLt unit found that all metals exceeded screening criteria for birds, invertebrates, and plants, but only arsenic (198.3 to 322 mg/kg) exceeded EPA Region goals. The site has been given a Medium Priority for further assessment work.
