This occurred following two days of unusually high temperatures in the Faro area. When water levels approached the maximum storage capacity of Moose Pond, runoff water was released into the surrounding environment and Vangorda Creek to prevent uncontrolled on-site flooding and damage to the site infrastructure. The runoff water released into the environment contained high levels of sediment but no harmful levels of metal contaminants. Additional water monitoring was immediately implemented to monitor the situation. Update - May 19, 2011 Results from water testing showed an increase in zinc levels in the runoff water. The release stopped immediately. Runoff water was diverted back for storage in Moose Pond, where water levels were lower and it was able to contain the remaining runoff water from the slopes of the Grum Sulphide Cell Cover site. Majority of snow in the area has melted. Expanded water testing and on-site monitoring continued. Update - May 23, 2011 Spring runoff continues to be contained on-site. ]]> http://www.faromine.ca/news/2011/05/faro_mine_complex_spring_runof.html http://www.faromine.ca/news/2011/05/faro_mine_complex_spring_runof.html Tue, 24 May 2011 07:06:21 -0800 Library section of the faromine.ca web site.
