Abstract
Assesses mine site consisting of a large collapsed adit and approximately 1000cy of wasterock material, which is adjacent to a small ephemeral tributary to Granite Creek. A Niton XLt unit found that most metals at the site exceeded screening criteria for birds, invertebrates, and plants, but only arsenic (7.16 mg/kg) exceeded EPA Region goals. Further site assessment was not warranted.
