  • An Integrated Assessment of Torch Lake Area of Concern Noel R. Urban, Carol A. Maclennan, Judith A. Perlinger
    An Integrated Assessment of Torch Lake Area of Concern Noel R. Urban, Carol A. MacLennan, Judith A. Perlinger Michigan Technological University Funding provided by Michigan Sea Grant This is Contribution No. 53 of the Great Lakes Research Center at Michigan Technological University Calumet & Hecla operations in Lake Linden ca 1940. In the foreground are the Calumet and Hecla stamp mills with the stacks of the power house. Photo courtesy of Michigan Tech Archives. Acknowledgments The authors thank Michigan Sea Grant for funding to enable this integrated assessment. Without the support, insights, historical knowledge and perspectives offered by Sharon Baker, MDEQ site coordinator for many years, this project would not have been possible. We also owe tremendous thanks to the two students, Ankita Mandelia and Emma Schwaiger-Zawisza, whose thesis research contributed major parts of this report. Other people who have contributed to our understanding of the site and its history are too numerous to mention individually, but include state and federal agency personnel, colleagues at MTU and the Keweenaw National Historic Park, TLPAC members, and community members. Administration and staff members at Sea Grant were very helpful in administering the grant, creating and maintaining a web site for the project (http://www.miseagrant.umich.edu/torchlake/), and facilitating compilation of the final report. The assessment was greatly improved thanks to the contributions of eight anonymous reviewers representing agency, scientist, and local citizen viewpoints.

  • Copper, Silver, Gold, and Zinc) Ores: Insights from Lake Superior Sediments
    J. Great Lakes Res. 30 (Supplement 1):162–184 Internat. Assoc. Great Lakes Res., 2004 Local, Regional, and Global Implications of Elemental Mercury in Metal (Copper, Silver, Gold, and Zinc) Ores: Insights from Lake Superior Sediments W. Charles Kerfoot1,*, S. L. Harting1, J. Jeong1, John A. Robbins2, and Ronald Rossmann3 1Lake Superior Ecosystem Research Center and Department of Biological Sciences Michigan Technological University Houghton, Michigan 49931 2NOAA Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory 2205 Commonwealth Blvd. Ann Arbor, Michigan 48105 3United States Environmental Protection Agency Mid-Continent Ecology Division Large Lakes Research Station 9311 Groh Road Grosse Ile, Michigan 48138 ABSTRACT. Anthropogenic inventories for copper (229 ± 89 ug/cm2, N = 30), and mercury (470 ± 307 ng/cm2, N = 25) in Lake Superior sediments are much greater than inventories in remote lakes (Cu 50 ± 31 ug/cm2, Hg 64 ± 34 ng/cm2, N = 16) that receive inputs largely from long-distance atmospheric sources. Whereas the absolute concentration of mercury in Lake Superior sediments is not high (80–110 ng/g), enrichment ratios along coastal margins indicate industrial sources. An example of previously unre- ported mining-related inputs comes from native copper mining on the Keweenaw Peninsula. Around the peninsula, sediment inventories for mercury, silver, and copper are highly correlated and can be traced back to shoreline tailing piles, smelters, and parent ores. Elemental mercury occurs as a natural amalgam or solid solution substitution in native metal (copper, silver, gold) deposits and associated gangue minerals (e.g., sphalerite, ZnS) at µg/g or higher concentrations. Native copper stamp mills discharged more than 364 million metric tons of “stamp sand” tailings, whereas copper smelters refined five million metric tons of copper, liberating together at least 42 metric tons of mercury.

Because of the significance of the Smelter in the production of hazardous waste material and its continuous operation between the 1880s and 1960s, as well as the volume of historical material available on the smelter site, MDEQ and MTU researchers decided to continue investigation of the C&H smelter into the summer of 2014. This report provides is an addendum to the material already available in the Phase 1 report. C&H Smelting Works contained several buildings, two of which became the focus on continued research: Smelting and Refining Building and the Coal Pulverization Plant. A smaller amount of additional information is also provided on the Electrolytic Plant and the Coal Dock that was not previously available.
