Parsons was awarded the contract by the Government for the realignment of the North Fork of Rose Creek at the Faro Mine. The diversion of the creek was initiated to prevent contact between the creek itself and contaminated water from the mine site. Contaminated seepage containing critical levels of zinc is draining from rocks located near the North Fork or Rose Creek. Over time the seepage is expected to increase, potentially harming aquatic species and habitat as well as water quality. The project includes the construction of an inlet dam and excavation of stream channels. Additional work items include clearing and stripping activities, riprap protection, crushing and producing specialty material, placing culverts and installing liner to prevent groundwater seepage. The project is currently ongoing.
