And agency folks
wonder why folks like me question the actions or better put inaction of the EPA and the State? The answer is obvious!
FYI-- I am attaching the section of my Historical Report, The Berkeley Pit--An ecological Time Bomb, written at the request of Ellen Crain of the Butte Archives. Most people don't realize this, but the West Camp Mine water is currently pumped on a monthly basis and discharged to the Colorado Tailings Passive Lime Treatment System to keep the level below the established West Camp Critical Water Level of 5435'. Water in the West Camp System {Travonia and Emma Mines} as with the water in the Berkley Pit and East Camp System must be pumped treated and eventually discharged to Silver Bow Creek in perpetuity! Folks like me have always advocated for a quality treatment plant to be placed in the Metro Sewer Treatment Plant Area for treating this water. Obviously because of the incompetence of the EPA that did not happen. Instead we have at the groundwater discharge point from the Basin {the established Berkeley Pit Critical Water level of 5410'} the Colorado Tailings Passive Lime Treatment System that sits in the middle of the Flood Plain and stores contaminated mine tailings that could be released in a massive flood as has happened in the past. Thought you and the others might find this of interest. Fritz
