description: Between 1968-1988, the mill tailings and contaminated soil were excavated and moved to a disposal cell about seven miles outside of Lakeview. A compacted soil layer was added to limit radon escape and water percolation into the tailings, and a rock cover.

note: annual inspection visits to ensure that the cleanup activities remain robust and that the cover over the mill tailings does not erode. We also monitor the water sampling that occurs at both the mill and the mine sites.
