Forest Service Awards ERRG an $11.1 Million Contract
The U.S. Forest Service has announced that nearly $9.8 million American Reinvestment and Recovery Act funds have been awarded to Engineering/Remediation Resources Group, Inc. (ERRG) to restore the Blue Ledge Mine site within the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest.  An additional $1.3 million is being provided to the project by the American Smelting and Refining Company Trust.  The abandoned copper mine site located in Siskiyou County, California has been leaching toxic material into surface waters for over 100 years, impacting water quality in Joe Creek and the lower Elliott Creek watershed. 

Work on the project is expected to begin the first of July.  The project will entail removal of the toxic waste material on the site during the 2010 construction season.  Reclamation of the site through erosion control measures, topsoil replacements, and restoring native vegetation will take place during the 2011 field season.  Maintenance of the erosion control structures, and effectiveness monitoring of the benefits of the projects on the aquatic environment will continue for an additional three years. 

ERRG will be hiring over 20 local workers over the course of the project.  ERRG has extensive experience with mine remediation projects, including the ARRA funded Iron Mountian Mine restoration project near Redding, California, and U.S. Forest Service hazmat contracts in Washington, Oregon and California.
