This is an illustrated study report from the U.S. Geological Survey and the Department of Geological Sciences at the University of Idaho. The mining operation at Belvidere Mountain resulted in 3 waste piles that are estimated to contain over 70 million tons of tailings. This waste has negative impacts on wetlands downstream from the piles. The report details different methods used for testing samples from various areas of the site. It includes many illustrated and graphical analysis of the data.
