Pre-Design Investigation
• Additional Data Collection to Support Design– Geotechnical properties of mine waste– Geotechnical/agronomic properties for borrow material
characteristics and volumes– Additional mine feature assessment (Cornucopia and
Philadelphia Mines)– Additional structural/features assessment including culverts,
Mill building, debris volume, ACM, and septic system– Additional cultural resource assessment

Remedial Action Overview
• Remedial Action Objectives– Reduce Exposure to Metals in Soil (Arsenic, Lead, and Thallium)– Reduce Metals Loading to Groundwater from Surface Sources– Reduce Instream Surface Water Metals Concentrations– Remedial Goal: Lead in Soil < 380 to 860 mg/kg (Area Specific)
• Selected Remedy (2008 Record of Decision)– Adit Water Diversion– Removal of Mine Waste from Various Site Sources and
Consolidate and Cover Mine Waste at the Captain Jack Repository
– Regrade and Cover Mine Waste at Big Five Mine Dump
