Cleanup launched for Bayhorse State Park site in Idaho
Cleanup work began July 28th on townsite tailings and two nearby mines. The first phase of the project includes two new bridges, walkways and a parking lot. The $985,000-plus contract represents a milestone and starts the cleanup of the Bayhorse Mining District. Idaho Department of Parks and Recreation, the property owner, is tying the cleanup to its plan to preserve a historic mining ghost town and other mining structures as well as to enhance trail access. It is funded, in part, through a federal Brownfields grant administered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. This initial cleanup contract includes work on the Townsite, the Beardsley Mine and two of the three Pacific mine sites.
