Helena, EPA say no impact to city water after mine waste spills into Tenmile Creek

Helena, EPA say no impact to city water after mine waste spills into Tenmile Creek Ben Rigby, City of Helena Water Production Superintendent Tenmile Creek near Rimini, July 12, 2021, after material from an abandoned mine reportedly spilled into the creek. By: Jonathon Ambarian and last updated 2021-07-14 10:20:54-04 HELENA — The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency says only about 100 feet of Tenmile Creek were affected by the release of sludge from a mine in Rimini. Chris Wardell, community involvement section chief for the EPA, said in a statement that a small amount of sludge – about 20 to 40 gallons – was released Monday from the Susie Mine. He said crews had been using a hose to suck up water from inside the mine tunnel, when the hose accidentally picked up excess sediment and sludge.

EPA: Tenmile Creek spill poses no environmental impact

Despite claims by the Helena city manager Monday that a mining spill resulted in significant contamination of Tenmile Creek, the Environmental Protection Agency on-site coordinator said based on early observations, the spill does not pose environmental impacts. EPA on-site coordinator Duc Nguyen said in a phone interview Tuesday less than 100 gallons of water mixed with mining sediment was released into Tenmile Creek from the Susie Mine, part of the Upper Tenmile Creek Mining Area. Nguyen said crew members have taken samples of the spill upstream, downstream and within the pool of sediment about 4 or 5 feet wide at the confluence. Results of those samples are expected to comeback as early as late Tuesday or early Wednesday, but Nguyen said the orange color city staff observed in the creek was mostly iron.
