It was done by Dirt-N--Iron ordered by <br />James B. McArdle, Senior Reclamation Specialist. <br />While closing down our project site 2004 we noticed a seepage with a <br />distinct discoloration of the water from the area that Dirt-N-Iron buried <br />several tons of iron and debris that was left on our property by previous <br />mining companies. Originally this material was to be hauled off the <br />property, like much of it was, but we were told that there wasn't enough <br />money left over from the reclamation bond from the previous operators. <br />We did not approve of that idea then and we still do not approve the action <br />that was taken. We realize that there has been more rain fall this year than <br />in the previous yeas, but not knowing the composition of the buried <br />materials our concern is that this material will break down through leeching <br />and pollute the ground waters that is percolating through the soil. <br />With our land contour 4% to 6% slope , it will frnd it's way into'Cache <br />Creek since it was buried approximately 100 yards above the creek, out of <br />our effective area but still on our property. <br />
