Agency: NF Region District: R1 Ranger District: KINGS HILL Forest Service Tract: Watershed Code: 10030105 Forest or Resource Area: LEWIS AND CLARK Owner: P Impact: L Report: There were no tailings located at the site. There was approximately 100,000 cubic yards of waste rock. The waste rock contained arsenic, copper, and mercury. The only hazardous structures were six transformers. Two adits were discharging. The discharge associated with the large adit and dump had a flow of approximately 40 gpm and had a pH of 7.9 The other discharging adit (caved) had a flow of 15 gpm and a pH of 5.75. The MCL for cadmium, nickel, and antimony were exceeded for the second adit. The drainage from the second adit also seeped into the ground before reaching the drainage. Rock Creek flowed through the site but did not have any contaminants related to the mine drainage. The Moulton Mine is located on Rock Creek about one quarter mile east of the main street in Neihart (Robertson, 1951). A mill was built at the site but is burned down in 1921 and was not rebuilt. The vein is in pre-Beltian black mica schists and pink gneiss and ranges from 3 to 7 feet in width. Development of the mine includes two adits, a shaft that was 550 feet deep (with level every 100 feet), a 125 foot winze (from the 500 foot level), and another winze from the 625 foot level to the 700 foot level. The mine was a lead, silver, and zinc mine. |
