Captain Jack Superfund Site

Site Description

The Captain Jack Superfund site
is actually comprised of a series of
mining operations, including many
mills, shafts, and tailings piles. Adjacent to the site is Lefthand Creek. At the northern portion of the site a steady stream of acid mine drainage flows directly into the Lefthand creek.

The Lefthand Creek TAG Coalition (LCTC) is a community group formed to help the local residents and visitors of the Lefthand Creek area better understand the Captain Jack Superfund cleanup.

With help from the EPA’s Technical Assistance Grant (TAG) we have hired technical advisors to help the community understand information contained in EPA technical documents related to site cleanup, and to understand the implications of some of the site-related decisions that need to be made.
