Report: The Windy Jim is part of a large strip mined area along the rim of the North Cave Hills area made up of the Windy Jim, Susan Becky, Mink, and L & L # 3. All were mined under Kermac Operation beginning in the late 50's, early 1960's, and is currently under a CERCLA cleanup. There are no structures or water at the Windy Jim, but runoff from rainfall drains across the mine bench towards the Mink into two small ponds One of the ponds was sampled for potential environmental hazards and the results are listed under the Mink of this report.
