| Abstract |
The Cherokee County site is a lead and zinc mining area in the southeastern corner of Kansas. The 25 square-mile Galena subsite is one of six subsites within the Cherokee County site and consists of large areas covered by mine wastes, water-filled subsidence craters, and open mine shafts. The approximately 3,500 Galena residents receive their water supply from two deep aquifer wells. EPA began investigations of the Galena subsite in 1985 and determined that the shallow ground water aquifer and surface water were contaminated with elevated concentrations of metals. EPA Region VII responded by installing water treatment units on several private wells. The primary contaminants of concern affecting the ground water and surface water are metals including cadmium, lead, and zinc. The selected remedial action for the site includes the removal, consolidation, and onsite placement in mine pits, shafts, and subsidences of surface mine wastes; diversion and channelization of surface streams with recontouring and vegetation of land surface; and investigation of deep aquifer well quality. |
