Since 2013, Agnico Eagle Mines Limited (Agnico Eagle) and Story
Environmental Inc. (SEI) have monitored surface water in the historic
Cobalt/Coleman Mining Area. This study focuses on arsenic concentrations and
loadings in the 60 square kilometre Farr Creek watershed. Numerous historic
mining properties, not all owned by Agnico Eagle, contribute arsenic loadings to
the watershed.
