This 125-page report on a scoping study of the 1887
historic mines in BC and focuses on the 1171 mines that have environmental
concerns and present public health and safety issues. A number of sites
(about 3%) have been selected as those which may show the greatest
potential environmental impact. They include the Midway (MINFILE
082FSW021), Lenora (MINFILE
092B
001), Bralorne-Takla (MINFILE
093N
008),
Ymir (MINFILE
082FSW067-068), Second Relief (MINFILE
082FSW187), and
Sultana (MINFILE
082FSW061). It is recommended these be studied in greater
detail. It is further recommended that the potential problems be addressed
on a watershed by watershed approach to fully study the impact on a
drainage system.
