Bluebird and Blackjack Mines: Engineering Evaluation and Cost Analysis
Purpose & Description
The United States Forest Service (USFS) is announcing the availability of a (Draft) Engineering Evalua-
tion/Cost Analysis (EE/CA) for a Non-Time-Critical Removal Action for the Bluebird and Blackjack Mines
(Sites). The Bluebird and Blackjack Mines are located on public lands administered by the Umatilla and
Wallowa-Whitman National Forests, approximately 3 miles southwest of the town of Granite, Oregon. The
Blackjack Mine is located approximately one mile upstream of the Bluebird Mine. Both Mines are located
directly adjacent to Clear Creek within the Granite Mining District and have been the subject of numerous
investigations during the last 20 years.
The Draft EE/CA report for the Sites has been prepared in accordance with the Comprehensive Environ-
mental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) and the National Oil and Hazardous Sub-
stances Contingency Plan (NCP). The purpose of this report is to present a detailed analysis of remediation
and cleanup alternatives that can be used for the decision-making process for immediate and future ac-
tion(s). In addition, the analysis presented in this report includes a discussion of background information,
previous investigations, removal action objectives, site characterization, applicable or relevant and appro-
priate requirements (ARARs), a risk assessment, the development and screening of alternatives, and the
recommended removal action alternative by Applied Intellect (Draft EECA developer).
Alternatives considered in the Draft EECA include a no further action, removal of sludge to an on-site
repository, removal of sludge for off-site disposal, upgrading existing sludge ponds, constructing new wet-
land treatment areas, upgrading water collection and pipeline systems at the Blackjack Mine, and installing
Adit Plug(s) at the Blackjack Mine.
The USFS invites the public to review and submit written comments during the 30-day public review/com-
ment period beginning August 18, 2022, the publication date of this notice. The USFS will consider all
public comments on the Draft EE/CA before finalizing the document and issuing an Action Memorandum.
