Description:   A milling complex in New Mexico that released its treated tailings into the Red River was studied.  Cyanide, used in the milling process, infiltrated the river as a minute contaminant or as the result of split pipes.  If flow conditions were low, the cyanide concentration may surpass the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) standards.  These concerns were discussed, along with cyanide speculations calculations, their results and possible effects on the ecosystem.
