Impact:
Report: The reference of this occurrence is Lyden, 1948 who states that it is an area downstream of the confluence of Trout Creek and the Clark Fork of the Columbia River. The area is private, the location is inaccurate, this is a placer and it was flooded by the dams on the Clark Fork River and so the site was screened out.
