The purpose of this Site Characterization Report is to provide a summary of existing relevant environmental data to characterize smelter affected soil at the West Plant Site, and to evaluate that data for use in the development of human health risk-based site-specific soil remediation standards (SSSRLs) for the West Plant Site.
This Technical Memorandum presents the first update of the Groundwater Assessment prepared by Golder Associates Inc. (Golder) on behalf of Resolution Copper Mining Company LLC (RCML). This work is required as part of the Area-Wide Aquifer Protection Permit (APP) No. P101703, for the West Plant Site (Figure 1). Specifically, this Technical Memorandum partially fulfills APP Compliance Schedule Item (CSI) No. 2.
Resolution Copper Mining, LLC (RCML) is submitting for the Arizona State Mine Inspector’s review and approval this Mined Land Reclamation Plan (MLRP) for the Superior Mine in the area of Superior, Arizona.
At the request of Mr. Greg Hiner of The Trust for Public Land, Golder Associates Inc. (Golder) performed a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) of a forested property comprising all of Township 14 North, Range 12 East, Section 9, Gila and Salt River Baseline and Meridian in Coconino County, Arizona (herein referred to as the subject property or Site).
This technical memorandum presents the results from the static geochemical characterization program of cleaner and scavenger tailings for the Resolution Copper Project .
This technical memorandum presents the results from the 20-week kinetic geochemical characterization program of cleaner and scavenger tailings for the Resolution Copper Project conducted by Golder Associates (Golder). The program was carried out to evaluate the environmental stability of the tailings and supplement the static testing program reported on in a previous document (Golder 2007).
This technical memorandum presents the results from the 43-week extended kinetic geochemical characterization program of scavenger tailings for the Resolution Copper Project conducted by Golder Associates (Golder). The program was carried out to evaluate the environmental stability of the tailings and supplement the static testing program reported in Golder 2007.
This report is the 2012-2013 annual report on the field testing program for Resolution tailings. It also represents the conclusion of the project and the final evaluation of the leachate trends. The testing program, developed by Golder Associates Inc. (Golder) with Geochimica (Golder/Geochimica), included cleaner and scavenger tailings from the proposed Resolution Copper Project.
Resolution Copper Company commissioned Golder and Associates to establish a program for the collection of baseline surface water data near the future RCC mine and associated facilities. The intended uses of the data are primarily to support and EIS, develop a sound conceptual site model as a basis for predicting future impacts, and document current conditions as a baseline for judging future impacts.
This Field Summary Report describes the investigation tasks and activities associated with the Near West Tailings Storage (TSF) geotechnical investigation. The objectives of the investigation were to obtain data necessary to support the pre-feasibility design of the proposed Near West TSF, to obtain additional information to support hydrogeological characterization of the site, and to characterize potential borrow materials located near the TSF footprint.
