Citation:
Analysis of the Transport and Fate of Metals Released From the Gold King Mine in the Animas and San Juan Rivers. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, DC.
Impact/Purpose:
This project’s objectives were to provide analysis of water quality following the release of acid mine drainage from the Gold King Mine in the Animas and San Juan Rivers in a timely manner to 1) generate a comprehensive picture of the plume at the river system level, 2) help inform future monitoring efforts and 3) to predict potential secondary effects that could occur from materials that may remain stored within the system. The project focuses on assessing metals contamination during the plume and in the first month following the event.
