377 20 #26 June 1, 2018 And Lord help you if your tailings have arsenic or other nasty stuff. Arsenic is often found near gold. State of CA requires remediation trust funds be set up and maintained if that happens. Sierra foothills are full of such sites. You can end up being on the hook for far more $ than you will ever extract in gold. I'd suggest some serious sampling and testing before you start operating a mine. 3772018 marks half a century as a skydiver. Trained by the late Perry Stevens D-51 in 1968.
