Mining

For nearly a decade, SSP&A assisted with the development and implementation of long-term management of contaminated groundwater at the Anaconda Copper Mine Site in Lyon County, Nevada.

SSP&A was retained to develop a groundwater model to support a Category 3 Groundwater Permit to Take Water for Canada Silver Cobalt Works.

SSP&A was initially retained to provide expert review and evaluation of hydrologic, hydrogeologic, and geochemical conditions at the former Leviathan Mine Site, and to assess the sources of impacts of mining-related residues on groundwater and surface water.

To address concerns regarding groundwater/surface-water interactions and potential Rio Grande Project Supply impacts, SSP&A provided expert hydrogeologic support in the evaluation of the Tulla Resources application and developed possible strategies for offsetting any potential impacts.

SSP&A provided expert services for the State of New Mexico, New Mexico Environment Department (NMED), and members of the Navajo Nation in lawsuits related to a mine blowout at the Gold King Mine in Silverton, Colorado.
