  8. Pre-Design Investigation Additional Data Collection to Support Design Geotechnical properties of mine waste Geotechnical/agronomic properties for borrow material characteristics and volumes Additional mine feature assessment (Cornucopia and Philadelphia Mines) Additional structural/features assessment including culverts, Mill building, debris volume, ACM, and septic system Additional cultural resource assessment Team Subcontractors: Geocal Inc., Advanced Terra Testing, PinyonEnv. Engineering, SWCA Env. Consultants, CSU Soils Laboratory SURFACE RECLAMATION OF THE CAPTAIN JACK MILL SUPERFUND SITE

  9. Remedial Action Overview Remedial Action Objectives Reduce Exposure to Metals in Soil (Arsenic, Lead, and Thallium) Reduce Metals Loading to Groundwater from Surface Sources Reduce Instream Surface Water Metals Concentrations Remedial Goal: Lead in Soil < 380 to 860 mg/kg (Area Specific) Selected Remedy (2008 Record of Decision) Adit Water Diversion Removal of Mine Waste from Various Site Sources and Consolidate and Cover Mine Waste at the Captain Jack Repository Regrade and Cover Mine Waste at Big Five Mine Dump SURFACE RECLAMATION OF THE CAPTAIN JACK MILL SUPERFUND SITE
