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. |
