Wastes generated by mining and milling released these metal sulfides as particulate substances (i). Mixed with uncontaminated sediment in the river system, these particulate wastes moved hundreds of kilometers downstream from their original source (4-7). Channel, floodplains, and reservoir sediments throughout the river now contain much of this contamination.
