Reclamation activity currently underway includes final stabilization of all remaining arsenic bearing sludges and calcines, capping of mine openings, demolition of buildings no longer in service, draining of the tailings containment areas in preparation for capping, ongoing water treatment of all contaminated site drainage and ongoing environmental monitoring and maintenance of the remaining facilities.
