Letter Health Consultation: Champagne Creek Mine site and Treatment Ponds, Arco, Idaho, March 3, 2015
On June 6, 2014, the Bureau of Community and Environmental Health (BCEH) staff met with the US Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to discuss potential human health effects of the Champagne Creek abandoned mine. BLM requested BCEH review environmental data to determine whether levels of heavy metals in soil, surface water, and ground water pose a human health problem. Based on the analysis of available data and site visit information, BCEH determined that recreationalists who accidentally eat contaminated soil or drink contaminated surface water from Champagne Creek are not likely to be harmed. However, trespassers who accidentally come in contact with acidic water from the treatment ponds could develop eye and skin irritation.
