Abstract
Assesses mine site on moderately steep side slopes, consisting of two adits, associated wasterock and tailing ponds, one with water treatment facilities and miscellaneous buildings. A Niton XLt unit found that all metals at the site exceeded screening criteria for birds, invertebrates, and plants, but only arsenic (13.13 to 338 mg/kg) exceeded EPA Region goals. The site has been given a Low Priority for any future site assessments.
