  • Exploration in Idaho 1997
    EXPLORATION IN IDAHO -1997 V.S. Gillerman and E.M. Bennett Idaho Geological Survey For the first time in several years, Idaho's silver mines enjoyed a better year than the state's gold properties. By the end of 1997, silver prices were on the way up. However, gold and base metal prices were down, with the resulting toll on Idaho properties. Gold production in Idaho during 1997 totaled 7.44 t (239,433 oz.), a drop from the 1996 record of 10.8 t (347,470 oz.). (Note: The U.S. Geological Survey's 1996 Idaho gold production number reported in its statistical summary omitted the Beartrack production and is incorrect. The correct number, 10,801 kg, should be included in future Minerals Yearbooks.) Like last year, Meridian Gold's Beartrack Mine was the top producer in 1997, with 3.3 t (107,271 oz.) poured. Pegasus Gold's Black Pine Mine extracted 1.37 t (44,081 oz.) before its scheduled shutdown in December. Kinross Gold's DeLamar and Stone Cabin mines in Owyhee County produced 1.42 t (45,675 oz.). Dakota Mining's Stibnite Mine accounted for 472 kg (15,168 oz.). Ore reserves were exhausted at Black Pine, which opened in 1991. Reclamation efforts were under way at year's end. Hecla Mining's Grouse Creek operation in Custer County shut down in April due to errors in reserve calculations and disappointing production from the Sunbeam pit. Reclamation at Grouse Creek included pit recontouring and construction of a water treatment plant to prevent sediment from reaching the creek.

  • Silver Valley People's Action Coalition Kellogg, Idaho “When You Live in a Community Like This, It Becomes Normal to See
    FIGHTING FOR POLLUTION CLEANUP IN A COMPANY TOWN Silver Valley People’s Action Coalition Kellogg, Idaho “When you live in a community like this, it becomes normal to see one out of 10 kids that can't walk or can't concentrate. And not just kids, grownups. It becomes the norm; you get used to it." A city councilman and local businessman Barbara Miller Director Silver Valley Peoples Action Coalition P. O. Box 362 Kellogg, ID 83837 Phone: 208-784-8891 Fax: 208-784-8891 Email: [email protected] Web: www.nidlink.com/~paccrcco SUMMARY: Barbara Miller and a coalition of local activists address the environmental and health consequence of 100 years of mining in Idaho’s Silver Valley. They are up against the physical damage wrought by lead poisoning as well as community members’ deep reluctance to speak out against the mining companies that had such a hold on the community. Undaunted, Miller and her colleagues pursue the following goals: • Cleanup People’s Homes: Since discovering the presence of lead in people’s homes as well as is in the environment, the coalition expanded its cleanup demands. • Build Public Credibility: Using door-to-door surveys, meeting with civic groups, and disseminating information about the scope of the pollution and its impacts, the coalition maintains the momentum for cleanup. • Engage Groups, Including Government Agencies, Outside Of The Region: Once the coalition engaged Washington, going beyond the regional EPA office, it began to see results. • Address Public Health Impacts: By establishing a health clinic and research center, the coalition enables community residents to manage the devastating effects of lead poisoning.

  • Reuse and the Benefit to Community Bunker Hill Mining and Metallurgical Complex Superfund Site
    Reuse and the Benefit to Community Bunker Hill Mining and Metallurgical Complex Superfund Site Introduction The Coeur d’Alene Basin in northern Idaho is one of the largest historic mining districts in the world. Over 100 years of commercial mining, milling and smelting resulted in the widespread contamination of soil, sediment, groundwater and surface water in the area now known as the Bunker Hill Mining and Metallurgical Complex Superfund site. Extensive cooperation and collaboration among the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality (IDEQ), the Idaho Panhandle Health District (PHD), and other local and state agencies resulted in the cleanup and restoration of over 7,000 properties. The site’s unique and comprehensive institutional control program (ICP) has enabled continued use and new development across the site – providing a framework in which regulatory agencies and the community can approach cleanups, manage risks, and address community and developer concerns. The ongoing, open communication and innovative thinking of site stakeholders has resulted in the remarkable transformation of this once-contaminated industrial site into a revitalized area built on a shared vision of a better future. Superfund site restoration and reuse can revitalize local economies with jobs, new businesses, tax revenues and local spending. Cleanup may also take place while active land uses remain on site. Today, the site supports a wide range of commercial, industrial, public service, residential and recreational reuses. The site is now home to the Silver Mountain Resort, a year-round tourist destination that offers recreation opportunities – including skiing, golf, biking and an indoor water park – to locals and visitors.

Surrounding Population: The site includes mining-contaminated areas in the Coeur d’Alene River corridor, adjacent floodplains, downstream water bodies, tributaries and fill areas as well as the 21-square- mile Bunker Hill Box (referred to as “the Box”), which surrounds the area of historic smelting operations. Operable unit 1 (OU1) includes populated areas of the Box. OU2 includes non-populated areas of the Box. OU3 addresses mining-related contamination in the broader Coeur d’Alene Basin. In total, the site spans 1,500 square miles and 166 river miles, across several counties. The Box is located in Shoshone County, Idaho. About 12,500 people live in Shoshone County. The Coeur d’Alene Basin in northern Idaho is one of the largest historic mining districts in the world.
