Reclamation Feasibility Report - Virginia Canyon <br />• Jenny Lind Mine (Site #37) <br />Location <br />This waste pile is located in the streambed of Virginia Canon approximately 1.4 miles above Clear <br />Creek (Figures 3 and 29). The Jenny Lind mine waste pile was sampled as site # 37. Site #37 is <br />located at LAT. N390 45'23.3", LONG. W105' 31' 38.1". The estimated volume of mine waste is 200 <br />cubic yards. <br />0 <br />Historic Structures <br />There are no historic structures or artifacts at this site. <br />Water Quality Impacts <br />Most of this waste rock pile has already been eroded away by the stream. There is a vertical scarp <br />of waste rock along the stream channel. The waste rock analysis indicates that this material is not <br />high in heavy metals relative to the other sites sampled. However, because of the erosion that has <br />occurred at this site in the past and the likelihood of additional erosion, this pile should be <br />considered a high priority.
