Mercury

Why is the lake so high in mercury? Green Cardamom (talk) 14:47, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

Runoff from mines upstream on Jordan Creek. I'll see if I can find an RS for that and add it. Finetooth (talk) 17:44, 30 July 2012 (UTC)
I added a sentence about the mines at Silver City, Idaho, and the miners' use of mercury, which ended up in Jordan Creek and persists in the environment. Thanks for asking this question. Finetooth (talk) 21:36, 30 July 2012 (UTC)
