Receiving water and effluent quality at Scottie Gold Mines in 1982 and 1983 / by M. Ross ; B. Godin.: En40-241/87-02E-PDF
"Scottie Gold Mines Ltd. was operating a 200 ton per day underground gold mine and mill at Summit Lake, approximately 20 miles north of Stewart, B.C. The mine discharged the tailings into pools on the bottom of Summit Lake at the headwaters of the Salmon River. The lake is subject to a jokulhlaup once a year, emptying in a very short period of time, and flowing below the Salmon Glacier. It is only below the glacier that the salmon species are present. The purpose of the survey was to document the water quality of the mine discharge and Summit Lake and determine if there were any contaminants such as cyanide and heavy metals"--Introduction, page 1.
