Report: There were not any tailings at the site. There was approximately 9,005 cubic yards of waste rock that contained arsenic, copper, mercury, lead, zinc, cadmium, iron, manganese, and antimony. A pH measurement of 6.63 was taken at a discharging adit. The MCL for cadmium was exceeded in the discharge. There were not any hazardous materials or hazardous structures at the site. The mine is located about 3,000 feet north of the Broadwater (Schafer, 1935). A shallow shaft was sunk and later a crosscut adit was driven 425 feet to the vein. A winze was sunk from the adit and an ore shoot was mined out.
