| Abstract | The industry profile presents the results of the EPA's research into the domestic gold placer mining industry and is one of a series of profiles of major mining sectors. The report briefly characterizes the geology of gold placer deposits and the economics of the industry. Following this discussion is a review of gold placer extraction and beneficiation methods; this section provides the context for description of wastes and materials managed by the industry, as well as a discussion of the potential environmental effects that may result from gold placer mining. The report concluded with a description of the current regulatory programs that apply to the gold placer mining industry as implemented by EPA, federal land management agencies, and selected states. The profile section is followed by reports on site visits conducted by EPA to gold placer mines in Alaska. Appendices include comments submitted by the U.S. Bureau of Mines, Cambior Alaska, Inc., and the state of Alaska and EPA responses to those commends. |
