Teck Cominco has a large mining history in the region with the most notable being the Sullivan Mine which has produced some 17 million tonnes of zinc and lead in the past 92 year history. The Sullivan Mine site and other related Teck Cominco properties account for the five contaminated mine sites listed below and the types of ore generally sought after consists of heavy and precious metals. More information related to environmental condition of land can be found at BC Online's Site Registry at https://www.bconline.gov.bc.ca/site_reg.html.More information related to specific tenure claims illustrated in the map can be obtained by searching Minieral Titles Online BC at http://www.mtonline.gov.bc.ca. Mining operations site contamination can both degrade water quality if proper actions are not taken. Considering this area's past, present and future activities, there is high potential for concern and close monitoring of water quality is advised. Future analyses with more complete data could provide useful information such as distances between mine sites including tailing piles and pond and water bodies as well as determining tenure ownership and claims that are in the process of becoming operational mines. Another useful analysis could show distanced between contaminated sites and water bodies as well as what geological surfaces exist beneath the sites and the water table.
