Report: There were not any mill tailings present at the site. There was approximately 5,700 cubic yards of waste rock that had elevated levels of copper and mercury. One adit had a small discharge, two shafts had small amounts of accumulated precipitation, and there was one small seep at the toe of the rock dump. MacKay Creek flowed through the site and caused erosion. There was a observed release of copper. Downstream elevated concentrations of copper, mercury, and manganese were found. There were three partially caved adits and one open adit were the hazardous structures found at the site. There was also one partially caved cabin present at the site. The Hegener group includes ten patented claims on Mackay Creek located one half of a mile above Mackay Creek's junction with Carpenter Creek (Robertson, 1951). Development includes a 100 foot adit, a 115 foot shaft, and a drift at the bottom of the shaft (300 feet). The adit was extended to a length of 400 feet.
