Report: The Broadwater mine is located southeast of Neihart (Schafer, 1935). This site is on private land. There were not any mill tailings. There was approximately 41,200 cubic yards of waste rock. There was one discharging adit, and the discharge seeped into the dump. The MCLs for cadmium and zinc were exceeded in the discharge. The potential safety hazards included an open adit with sn unsecured fence around it and two wooden loadout structures that were collapsing. According to Schafer (1935), the mine was developed by three adits and a shaft. Many winzes, raises and sublevels were also driven.
