Report: When the site was visited in August, 1996, an adit discharge was flowing down a waste-rock dump. It sank into the ground before crossing onto NF administered land. There is evidence that during the spring, the discharge is larger and does reach NF land. However, there is no staining or stressed vegetation along the spring runoff course. It was concluded that the discharge is not a serious environmental problem.
