Midnite mine summary data (on CD-ROM). Data file
This two-CD set is a compilation of most of the results of research conducted by the U.S. Bureau of Mines on the Midnite Mine in northeastern Washington state on the Spokane Indian Reservation. The site is an inactive open pit uranium mine for which reclamation research and planning is being performed. Hydrologic monitoring and modeling of contaminated and potentially contaminated groundwater at the mine was performed and results of these studies make up part of volume 1 of the CD set. Likewise, analyses of the mine wastes were performed to determine what materials could be used for reclamation and which would have to be remediated, and these data also are on volume 1. To support research activities at the site and to serve as a historical reference on what is known about the mine site, a GIS database was developed, including images of the site, topographic data, analytical data, and numerous other data sets that were available from government agencies and the mining company. Modeling of the site geology in 2D and 3D also was performed as part of GIS database development, and files from this research are included.
