Description There are numerous abandoned metals mines and inactive mining districts in Washington State. Inactive and abandoned mines, waste rock dumps, and tailings can be the source of contaminated water, including acid rock drainage, that has the potential to severely impact nearby streams. Almost no data are available to evaluate the extent of the problem.
