1.0 INTRODUCTION

This Reconnaissance Report (RR) provides results of the field investigation assessment and

inventory of materials at the Denver & Rio Grande Western Railroad Easement in

Leadville, CO. It is submitted pursuant to Section 4.1, Assessment and Inventory, of the

Draft Final Sampling and Analysis Plan prepared for the Denver & Rio Grande Western

Railroad (September 14, 1994) by Monison Knudsen Corporation (MK).

The scope of the field investigation was to:

* Locate, map and photograph areas of concern, especially areas that show signs of

fine slag, i.e., less than one quarter inch.

* Distinguish the difference between types of materials in areas of concern, including

cinder, coal, charcoal, clinker and lead slag. Size the lead slag in areas of concern

to determine the approximate percentage of fines associated with this area.

t- Note evidence of the impact on surrounding environment due to presence of slag

material. This includes the affect s of windblown dust and stress on vegetation

present at the site.

Field activities were conducted on September 16,1994 by two Morrison Knudsen personnel. Doug Uhland, of MK headed the reconnaissance and documentation effort while Bill

Klawitter (MK) assisted with location measurements and sample and vegetal descriptions. Mike Schaubs of Jacobs Engineering was on site to monitor the MK effort as a

representative for the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

2.0 PROJECT BACKGROUND

2.1 Investigation Area Description

The D&RGW railroad easement skirts the northwest side of the town of Leadville, CO,

approximately 100 miles southwest of Denver, CO at an elevation of 10,000 feet mean sea

level. See Figure 1. The railroad easement property encompasses an area of roughly 7

acres as it traverses the town for approximately 6000 feet or 1.1 miles. The easement is 50

^ feet wide, 25 feet to either side of the center line of the railroad tracks. The part of the

easement under investigation (area of concern) refers to the area beginning 12 feet from

I either side of the center line through the tracks and extending 25 feet on either side of the

track center line (see Figure 2). Vegetation on the property varies widely from large

: deciduous and conifer trees to shrubs, native grasses, sage and other native plant species.

* The railroad easement is surrounded by a mixture of single and multiple family residential

U housing, some commercial establishments and open fields of grassland on the outskirts of

town. A recreational facility and school are located along the railroad easement route

|_ through town. The easement begins at 12th Street, near Highway 24, southwest of the

Railroad Yard area. The end of the easement is located on the west side of McWethy I Avenue at the "End of Track" sign.

i 22 Site History

*" Generally, the California Gulch area experienced silver, gold, copper, lead, and zinc mining

* operations by both hardrock and placer methods from a major sulfide/carbonate ore

*- deposit. The Yak Tunnel, draining into California Gulch, is the main point-source discharge

(i

 of acidic metal-laden water in California Gulch. This tunnel drains hardrock mining areas

It, with high proportions of sulfide minerals. In 1983, the California Gulch site was placed on

the EPA's National Priorities List because of activities associated with the loading of heavy I metal concentrations to the Arkansas River.

The railroad easement has seen over 130 years of transportation activities. The D&RGW

easement is part of the Southern Pacific Lines rail system. The 1.1 mile stretch of easement

I through Leadville is part of the system extending northeast to Denver and northwest over

*- Tennessee Pass. The line also branches south near Leadville at Malta Junction. The line

l has not been used for revenue traffic for several years. The last revenue traffic handled by L the line was in 1991.

3 .0 FIELD ACTIVITIES

The railroad easement was walked by MK personnel looking for areas of concern, i.e., areas

showing signs of cinder, coal, charcoal, clinker or lead slag. Slag materials were identified

as the prime ballast constituent of the railroad tracks, but the investigative team only

MORRISON KNUDSEN CORPORATION

bb\1883\RaconFnU»2 2 (Rw 0.02/08/83]
1^ documented areas of concern outside of the area bounded by the lines 12 feet on either side

of the center line of the railroad tracks. In order to specifically locate areas of concern

1

 along the easement property, the center line of the tracks is assigned stationing. Station

0+00 is located at the intersection of the railroad center line with the north side of

; 12th Street. The "End of Track" sign is located at approximately station 60+00, just west

w

 of McWethy Avenue.

}

*- 3.1 Railroad Easement Assessment

While walking the easement area, the team made note of areas of concern and then

_ assessed these areas for the presence of slag materials. Notes were also included on the

presence of slag material outside the easement property. Observations of the type of

process materials (i.e., cinder, coal, charcoal, clinker or slag) located in the areas of concern

were noted. If slag was identified, its location was measured from permanent landmarks or

j from the track center line and easement boundaries. The area! extent of the slag was

** measured and an estimate of the depth of the slag material was determined.

*•• A representative sample of any surficial slag found in the areas of concern was passed

,. through a % inch sieve screen to determine the approximate percentage of fines associated

L. with the material found in this area. Photographic evidence of sieve test was collected as

part of the investigation documentation. An assessment of the vegetation surrounding each

! area of concern was then performed and documented. Materials identified during the

railroad easement reconnaissance can be found in the following Materials Inventory section.

U 32 Materials Inventory

j Near the start of the railroad easement, a general assessment of the layout of the tracks was

"-1 made. A tape measure was used to determine the start of the easement property, 12 feet

i off either side of the centerline of the tracks. The tape was used continuously as MK field

U personnel walked the tracks looking for slag material in the area of concern. Deposits of

, slag were found both within the easement property and outside the easement property.

3.2.1 Within Easement Property

i A small quantity of slag was found on either side of station 2+00 extending into the area

of concern. Photograph #1 was taken to further document this area. The quantity of slag

was considered surficial and less than 1 CY. No sieve test was performed on this material.

MORRISON KNUDSEN CORPORATION

i^ Photograph #2 was taken from Harrison Street looking northeast and shows another small

quantity of slag material located to the north of the tracks at approximately station 4+00.

1

 This slag extended into the area of concern. It is considered surficial and less than 1 CY. No sieve test was performed on this material.

!*" Near the library and station 6+70, slag had been deposited surficially within the area of

, concern. This area measures approximately 375 feet in length and 13 feet wide. The depth

t* of material in this area is estimated to be 0-3 inches or surficial slag. No sieve test on this

material was performed, but it appears to consist largely of slag fines. See the photographs

^. numbered 3, 4, 5 and 6. The quantity of slag in this area is estimated to be 23 CY.

\ la the same area, a bike or off-road vehicle path was noted exiting the railroad easement

property to the library parking lot. Another path followed the track for short distance and

| then disappeared into the trees. See photograph #7. This path appears to follow the rail

line but makes diversions from the easement property at various locations.

*» Photograph #8 shows slag that exists in the area of concern near the library and station .

8+50. A sieve test of the slag showed that the material consisted of about 70% fine slag. ) L See photograph #9.

) At approximately station 10+45, the area covered by slag recedes to a distance 15 feet off

the centerline of the tracks. The width of the slag within the area of concern is therefore,

; approximately 3 feet. Near station 12+00, the slag within the area of concern widens to 4^- approximately 4 feet for a length along the track center line of 450 feet

i*- A 4-foot width of slag within the area of concern then extends 310 feet to station 19+60.

i At this point, the slag tapers over a distance of approximately 40 feet until no more slag L resides within the area of concern. The slag in this area appears to be all surface slag. The

quantity of slag residing within the area of concern is roughly 16 CY. Approximately 50%

^ of this quantity is considered fines.

i On the north side of the tracks, slag resides within the area of concern from approximately

station 20+00 to James Street at station 32+35. Total quantity of slag in this area is

considered to be roughly 74 CY. A visual inspection revealed that about half of this

quantity is slag fines.

[_ From station 27+00 to station 31+00 slag material is found to lie intermittently within the

area of concern to the south. There does not appear to be any slag located outside of the

1 easement property between the aforementioned stationing. A visual inspection revealed

tov

about 50% fine slag material.

i

^ A bike path resides on railroad easement property on the north side of the tracks from

. approximately station 42+50 to the Recreation Center. A playground adjacent the

w- Recreation Center is located at approximately station 46+00 on the north side of the tracks. Investigation of the playground area revealed that a grayish colored surficial material was

^ almost entirety cinder. Some isolated large chunks of slag were found in the area. See

photographs #19 and #20. An area of slag roughly 475 feet long and fully contained in the

i 13 foot wide area of concern was found between stations 46+00 and 50+75. This area is

w

located on the north side of the tracks. Another slag location was found in this same

) general area but on the south side of the tracks. This area is approximately 150 feet long w

 by 13 feet wide and remains entirely on easement property. These slag areas are surficial

I deposits with volume estimated at 38 CY. Approximately half of this volume is considered

«•• slag fines.

*U Near the Recreation Center the tracks make a sweeping turn and head south for a short

distance before continuing west at a location just west of McWethy Avenue. South of the

I Recreation Center, an area containing slag was found lying within the area of concern to

the west of the tracks. The area was measured at 90 feet long by 6 feet wide and lies on

i a long slope adjacent the tracks. The material within this area appeared to be mostly a

coarse slag with an average depth of approximately 2 feet. The total quantity of slag

i associated with this area is approximately 40 CY.

w

; 33,2 Outside Easement Property L. Near station 14+00, an approximate 60 x 30 area of slag lies outside of the D&RGW

easement property. The area is approximately 55 feet off the center line of the railroad

|_ tracks and about 100 feet south of the middle school baseball field. The slag is a surficial

deposit. A sieve test was performed on the slag and approximately 30% was determined

 to be fine slag material. See photograph #10. The quantity of slag associated with this

area is approximately 8 CY of which 3 CY is fine slag.

I

i_ Another area where slag is found outside the easement property is located near station

19+00 at a point where the bike path exits the easement and some slag material is used at

! a low point in the path. The area of slag measures 20 feet wide by 60 feet long and appears

to be surficial. See photograph #11. Photograph #12 and #13 show a short path exiting I the easement property on the north side at approximately station 21+00. The quantity of

u

 slag associated with this area is approximately 6 CY. It also has a fine slag content of

• approximately 30% or 2 CY.

w

At station 22+50 an area containing slag extends approximately 17 feet beyond the north

^ easement boundary. The length of the area is approximately SO feet. The slag appears to

t __

be surficial. Th

 __

e content of the material in this area is about 20% fine slag and about 80%

cinder. The quantity of fine slag found in this area is therefore less than 1 CY.

i Between stations 23+75 and 24+00 a small area containing slag was found. This area w

 extended approximately 15 feet beyond the easement property to the north. The area was

calculated to be 375 square feet and is considered to be surficial slag. See photograph #14.

^- A sieve test was performed on the slag material within the easement and the quantity of fine

slag was estimated to be 80% of the volume. See photograph #15. The quantity of slag U associated with this area is approximately 2 CY of which slightly over 1 CY is considered

to be fine slag.

L. Near station 27+00 a small path exits the easement property to the north. The path is

. | covered with surficial slag and extends beyond the easement boundary approximately

10 feet. The path is estimated to be 3 feet wide. The quantity of slag in this area is less

; than 1 CY. See photograph #16. No sieve test was performed on the slag in this area, but

^ most of the material appears to be slag fines.

i

i~ Near station 33+00 located immediately west of James Street, an area containing slag lies

outside the railroad easement property. The area consists of a path running parallel to the

L. property on the north side of the tracks. It is approximately 20 feet long by 2 feet wide.

See photograph #17. The majority of slag material appears to be fine slag. The quantity

. of slag associated with this area is less than 1 CY.

West of stations 52+00 through 56+00 and at the base of the rail bed slope, is an area that

is crossed by several paths covered with surficial slag. See photograph #21. The length of

i bb\1B83\FtoeonFnLOOZ D [Rev 0,02/08/85]
the trails total approximately 1300 feet and the average width appears to be about 8 feet. All of the trails lie outside of the railroad easement property. Most of the slag appears to

be fines. The quantity of slag associated with these paths is approximately 48 CY.

*" 4.0 SUMMARY

iw

 Slag was readily identifiable by its color, weight and texture. The slag was discernable from

other smelter products such as cinder, clinker and charcoal on general appearance and

L- weight alone.

^ Several areas within the railroad easement were found to contain slag of various sizes. The

volume of slag within the area of concern was estimated at 194 CY. The volume of fine slag

i within the same area was estimated at 92 CY. The volume of slag located outside of the

easement property is 68 CY. Volume of fine slag located outside of the easement property

is estimated at 50 CY. L.

;

 Some slag utilized as ballast for the tracks extended beyond the 12 foot distance from the

i- center line of the tracks. This occurred on the north side of the tracks in locations where

the tracks were elevated from the surrounding grades and additional ballast had to be

^_ utilized to maintain an adequate supporting slope. The distance the ballast extended into

the area of concern was in direct proportion to the elevation of the tracks above

• surrounding grades.

• Most parts of the railroad easement showed evidence of pedestrian or all-terrain vehicle

w

 traffic. However, no bicyclists, pedestrians or motorized vehicles were observed during the

! time taken for this field investigation. All of the slag found within the area of concern and

— also outside the easement property was considered surficial slag deposits.

»~ Vegetation in and around the railroad easement varies from hard and softwood trees to

native grasses, sage and other native plant species. Autumnal temperature variations and

^ recent nightly freezes had probably contributed to dry and near dormant conditions of the

site plant life. Although the plant life appeared spotty in some locations, it did not appear

: to be unlike any other plant life of mountainous and semi-arid regions.
