Site Description 7/28/2017 01 Background

The EPA Region 8 Removal Program is conducting a Time Critical Removal Action (TCRA) at the Carribeau Mill Area in the Iron Springs Mining District. This action began the week of July 17th. This removal action is being performed to gather and consolidate the heavy metals contaminated tailings and bury them in an on-site repository. It will mitigate the human health threat as well as the threat to the environment by removing them from direct contact with humans and animals in addition to preventing them from being released into the watershed by erosion.
