An existing treatment pond at the H&D (Adobe) "McIntire" minesite, which has since been incorporated into part of the passive treatment system; Prior to installation of the passive system, samples were generally sampled at the spillway as the effluent pipe had become plugged with low pH iron; TB1 receives the MC1, MC2, and MC3 mine discharges; Currently TB1 is sampled at the spillway of the pond as it enters the Oxidation Precipitation Channel. Prior to the passive system, TB1 flowed into an existing channel and was located upstream of sampling point TRX; |
