Introduction This Explanation of Significant Differences (ESD) presents the details of an addition to the remedy selected in the September 2, 1999 Record of Decision (ROD) for Residential Populated Areas, Operable Unit 9 (0U9), ofthe California Gulch Superfund Site (Site) in Lake County, CO. Operable Unit 9 includes those portions ofthe Site where the land use is residential or that are currently zoned as residential/populated areas and as low-density residential areas. Future land use of 0U9 is expected to continue to be residential. This ESD, prepared in accordance with Section 117(c) ofthe Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) and with Part 300, Section 435(c)(2)(i) of Title 40 ofthe Code of Federal Regulations, 40 CFR 300.435(c)(2)(i), documents significant differences to the ROD. This ESD documents the decision to require institutional controls for 17 mine waste piles within 0U9. These mine waste piles have soils at the surface that are under the 3500 mg/Kg lead residential action level but may have lead contamination at depth that exceeds the residential lead action level. This ESD does not change or alter any element ofthe Lake County Community Health Program (LCCHP).

  • Denudation History and Internal Structure of the Front Range and Wet Mountains, Colorado, Based on Apatite-Fission-Track Thermoc
    NEW MEXICO BUREAU OF GEOLOGY & MINERAL RESOURCES, BULLETIN 160, 2004 41 Denudation history and internal structure of the Front Range and Wet Mountains, Colorado, based on apatite­fission­track thermochronology 1 2 1Department of Earth and Environmental Science, New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology, Socorro, NM 87801Shari A. Kelley and Charles E. Chapin 2New Mexico Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources, New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology, Socorro, NM 87801 Abstract An apatite fission­track (AFT) partial annealing zone (PAZ) that developed during Late Cretaceous time provides a structural datum for addressing questions concerning the timing and magnitude of denudation, as well as the structural style of Laramide deformation, in the Front Range and Wet Mountains of Colorado. AFT cooling ages are also used to estimate the magnitude and sense of dis­ placement across faults and to differentiate between exhumation and fault­generated topography. AFT ages at low elevationX along the eastern margin of the southern Front Range between Golden and Colorado Springs are from 100 to 270 Ma, and the mean track lengths are short (10–12.5 µm). Old AFT ages (> 100 Ma) are also found along the western margin of the Front Range along the Elkhorn thrust fault. In contrast AFT ages of 45–75 Ma and relatively long mean track lengths (12.5–14 µm) are common in the interior of the range. The AFT ages generally decrease across northwest­trending faults toward the center of the range. The base of a fossil PAZ, which separates AFT cooling ages of 45– 70 Ma at low elevations from AFT ages > 100 Ma at higher elevations, is exposed on the south side of Pikes Peak, on Mt.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank the employees of Colorado Springs Utilities (Mike Herrin, Bruce Newell, and Kirsta Scherff-Norris) and Colorado Division of Water Resources (Mark Haynes) who responded quickly and openly to my inquiries about the upper Blue Lake Reservoir. USDA Forest Service personnel, including Steve Olson, Paul Semmer, Terry Edelmon, and Greg Laurie, were also extremely helpful in determining the status of Draba weberi and its environs. Dr. Michael Windham of the Utah Museum of Natural History provided helpful clarification of the status of the genus Draba. Bill Jennings provided photographs and records of his observations. Georgia Doyle and Ellen Mayo provided information from the most recent observations of D. weberi. Thanks also to David Anderson and Jill Handwerk of the Colorado Natural Heritage Program for assisting with the preparation of this assessment. AUTHOR’S BIOGRAPHY Karin Decker is an ecologist with the Colorado Natural Heritage Program (CNHP). She works with CNHP’s Ecology and Botany teams, providing ecological, statistical, GIS, and computing expertise for a variety of projects. She has worked with CNHP since 2000.

  • Restoration Plan and Environmental Assessment for the Upper Arkansas
    Chapter 2 Upper Arkansas River Watershed Restoration Plan and Environmental Purpose and Need for Restoration Assessment Th is chapter describes the purpose and need for restoration to address losses to natural resources caused by the releases of hazardous substances at and from the Site. Th e Trustees determined in their preliminary estimate of damages that groundwater, aquatic, and terrestrial resources have been injured; that the locations of injury include California Gulch, and aquatic resources of the upper Arkansas River and terrestrial resources associated with the 500-year fl oodplain of the upper Arkansas River; and that restoration is required to compensate the public for these injuries (Industrial Economics, 2006). Th is RP focuses on projects that will address injuries to natural resources through the restoration of similar resources in locations within the upper Arkansas River Basin (Figure 2.1). 2.1 Summary of Release History and Resulting Public Losses Th e Site extends over a large area including more than 15 square miles in and around the town of Leadville, Colorado. Extensive historic mining activities in and around Leadville generated more than 2,000 on-site waste rock piles and resulted in past and ongoing releases of heavy metals and acid mine drainage into California Gulch and, subsequently, to the upper Arkansas River Basin. In particular, the Yak Tunnel, which was constructed to dewater mines in the area, was a signifi cant source of contamination to California Gulch from the time of its construction in 1895 until the Yak Tunnel Water Treatment Plant began operation in 1992. Before construction of the treatment plant, more than 200 tons of metals were discharged into California Gulch each year by the Yak Tunnel (Industrial Economics, 2006).

  • Toxicological Profile for Lead
    TOXICOLOGICAL PROFILE FOR LEAD U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES Public Health Service Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry August 2007 LEAD ii DISCLAIMER The use of company or product name(s) is for identification only and does not imply endorsement by the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry. LEAD iii UPDATE STATEMENT A Toxicological Profile for Lead, Draft for Public Comment was released in September 2005. This edition supersedes any previously released draft or final profile. Toxicological profiles are revised and republished as necessary. For information regarding the update status of previously released profiles, contact ATSDR at: Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry Division of Toxicology and Environmental Medicine/Applied Toxicology Branch 1600 Clifton Road NE Mailstop F-32 Atlanta, Georgia 30333 LEAD iv This page is intentionally blank. v FOREWORD This toxicological profile is prepared in accordance with guidelines developed by the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The original guidelines were published in the Federal Register on April 17, 1987. Each profile will be revised and republished as necessary. The ATSDR toxicological profile succinctly characterizes the toxicologic and adverse health effects information for the hazardous substance described therein. Each peer-reviewed profile identifies and reviews the key literature that describes a hazardous substance's toxicologic properties. Other pertinent literature is also presented, but is described in less detail than the key studies. The profile is not intended to be an exhaustive document; however, more comprehensive sources of specialty information are referenced. The focus of the profiles is on health and toxicologic information; therefore, each toxicological profile begins with a public health statement that describes, in nontechnical language, a substance's relevant toxicological properties.
