Description: This 2022 data layer was downloaded from the Arizona Geological Survey (https://library.azgs.arizona.edu/item/AOFR-1671665671222-873). For the purpose of this directory, an active mine is defined as a mine in continuous operation, either in production or under full-time development for production. It is acknowledged that there are additional mines not listed that are in an exploration, evaluation, or part-time development phase. Other mines where production is intermittent are not listed. The directory is compiled from a much larger database from the Arizona State Mine Inspector’s Office.
Description: This GIS layer displays Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) water sampling sites where contaminant levels have exceeded regulatory standards for any of the following metals: Dissolved Cd, Dissolved Pb, Dissolved Cu, Dissolved Zn, Total Se, Total As, Total Cu, Total Pb.
