<br />ROsideiits concerned with groundwater contamination from waste disposed by King II
<br />coal mine have prompted state officials to test for potentially volatile compounds such
<br />as lead and mercury.
<br />Since 2007, King II, operated by Grupo Cementos de Chihuahua Energy, has been dumping its
<br />mining waste at the operation's previous site, Kung I, further cast on County Road 120 in
<br />Hesperus.
<br />Under the mine's permit with the state, compounds such as lead, mercury, arsenic and cadmium
<br />have never been tested at the waste site — a surface impoundment exposed to the elements.
<br />However, when King II disclosed in the Environmental Protection Agency's Toxic Release
<br />Inventory (TRI) that nearly 750 pounds of toxic material was added to the waste pile in 2014,
<br />residents in Hay Gulch grew concerned about the potential impacts to the water table.
