  Title Environmental considerations of active and abandoned mine lands: lessons from Summitville, Colorado Type Journal Article
  Year 1995 Publication US Geological Survey Bulletin Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 2220 Issue 38 Pages  
  Keywords acid mine drainage mining environmental effect remediation environmental assessment USA Colorado Summitville 1 Geography  
  Abstract Extreme acid-rock drainage is the dominant long-term environmental concern at the Summitville mine and could have been predicted given the geological characteristics of the deposit. Extensive remedial efforts are required to isolate both unweathered sulfides and soluble metal salts in the open-pit area and mine-waste piles from weathering and dissolution. Results of studies as of late 1993 indicate that mining at Summitville has had no discernible short-term adverse effects on barley or alfalfa crops irrigated with Alamosa River water. Remediation of the site will help to ensure that no adverse effects occur over the longer term. -from Editor
