site
is
based
on
threats
posed
by
the
site
to
the
surface

migration
pathway.
After
review
ofthe
four
pathways,
it
was
determined
that
the
ground

and
air
migration
pathways
do
not
contribute
significantly
to

SITE
DESCRIPTION
The
Callahan
Mine
site
(the
"site")
(CERCLIS
ID
No.
MED980524128)
is
located
approximately
1,000
feet
east­
southeast
of
Harborside
Village
in
the
Town
ofBrooksville,
Hancock
County,
Maine
(See
Attachment
A,
Figures
1
and
2)
[3;
16,
p.
11.
No
street
address
is
available
for
the
site.
The
site
is
the
former
location
of
a
zinc/
copper
open­
pit
mine
[25,
p.
2;
34,
p.
21.
The
mining
operations
were
conducted
adjacent
to
and
beneath
Goose
Pond,
atidal
estuary
[16,
p.
1;
34,
p.
21.
The
Callahan
Mine
was
reputedly
the
only
intertidal
heavy
metal
mine
in
the
world
at
the
time
of
its
operation
[34,
p.
21.

The
property
comprises
150
acres
and
is
located
in
a
coastal,
rural
setting
on
the
Cape
Rosier
peninsula
[16,
p.

The
property
abuts
Goose

to
the
east,
and
private
properties
to
the
west,
south,
and
north
(See

The
open
pit
mine
ceased
operations
in
1972
and
was
flooded
by
opening
a
dam
at
Goose
Falls
[6,
pp.
6,7].
The
mine
is
currently
under
water
and
is
subject
to
daily
tidal
exchange
in
Goose
Pond
[ll,
p.
2;
34,
p.
21.
Goose
Pond
is
connected
to
Goose
Cove
to
the
north
by
a
reversing
falls
known
as
Goose
Falls
[3;
16,
p.

Goose
Cove
is
located
on
the
southern
part
of
Penobscot
Bay
[34,
p.
21.

The
zindcopper
sulfide
deposit
was
discovered
in
1880
at
low
tide
by
a
clam
digger
[7,
p.
11­
279;
8,
p.
1821.
The
main
components
of
this
deposit
were
sphalerite
(ZnS)
and
chalcopyrite
(CuFeSJ,
accompanied
by
abundant
pyrite
(FeSJ
and
lesser
amounts
of
pyrrhotite
(FeS)
[8,
p.
1821.
The
first
mine
operated
until
1887
when
a
price
drop
closed
this
and
most
other
mines
in
Maine
[6,
p.
21.
Ore
was
mined
from
three
shafts
[7,
pp.
11­
279,
II­
280].
Efforts
were
made
to
mine
the
ore
sporadically
through
1964
[6,
pp.
2­
3;
7,
p.
II­
2801.
Callahan
Mining
Corporation
geologists
became
interested
in
the
potential
ofthe
property
in
1964
and
subsequently
open
pit
mining
operations
commenced
in
1968
[6,
p.
31.
Two
dams
were
constructed
at
the
saltwater
inlet
and
freshwater
inlet
of
Goose
Pond.
Fresh
water
which
normally
flowed
into
Goose
Pond
was
diverted
south
to
Wier
Cove
via
a
drainage
ditch.
Goose
Pond
was
subsequently
drained
to
allow
for
the
excavation
of
the
mine
[6,
p.
41.

The
open­
pit
mine
was
approximately
600
to
1,000­
feet
(ft)
indiameterand
320
ft
in
depth
[6,
p.

Approximately
5
million
tons
of
non­
ore­
bearing
waste
rock
and
798,000
to
800,000
tons
of

bearing
rock
were
removedfromthemine[

the
property,
but
predominantly
in
an
area
south
of
Dyer
Cove
16,
p.
5;
11,
p.
21.
This
area
has
been
referred
to
as
"Callahan
Mountain",
due
to
the
large
volume
ofwaste
rock
located
in
this
area
[6,
p.
51.
In
addition,
a
large
amount
of
marine
clay
(200,000
to
225,000
tons)
was
dumped
on
the
lower
portions
of
"Callahan
Mountain"
after
a
mud
slide
occurred
at
the
open­
pit
mine
[6,
p.
14;
7,
p.
11­
2831.

Dyer
Cove,
currently
a
small
part
of
the
Goose
Pond
estuary,
was
a
fully
enclosed
area
used
to
temporarily
store
water
pumped
from
the
open
pit
mine.
Particulates
were
allowed
to
settle
out
prior
to
pumping
the
water
from
this
cove
to
Goose
Cove
[9,
p.
41.
Sediment­
laden
water
from
the
mine
was
also
pumped
through
a
16­
inch
pipe
line,
discharging
directly
into
Goose
Cove,
north
of
Goose
Pond
[7,
p.
11­
282;
34,
Figure
1;
401.

Ore
was
trucked
from
the
mine
to
an
ore
storage
area
[6,
p.
5;
7,
p.
11­
2811.
From
here,
the
ore
was
loaded
into
a
series
of
crushers
and
mills
which
reduced
the
rock
to
the
consistency
of
fine
sand
and
silt
[6,
p.
51.
The
small
,particles
containing
zinc
and
copper
were
then
recovered
by
a
process
called
"flotation."
The
ore
was
passed
through
flotation
cells
into
which
chemicals
were
introduced
which
caused
the
minerals
to
float
on
bubbles
[6,
pp.
5,6].
Chemicals
which
were
used
in
the
flotation
process
included:
dithiophosphate
salts,
aryl
phosphorodithioate,
cyclohexanol,
and
cresol
[16,
p­
51.
The
floatation
process
creates
a
"froth"
which
lifts
(through
surface
tension)
the
mineral
particles
and
depresses
or
allows
to
sink
the
remaining
rock
[12,
p.
41.
The
mineral
rich
froth
was
collected,
washed,
dried,
and
stockpiled
in
a
portion
of
the
mill
where
it
awaiting
transportation
to
a
smelter.
[12,
p.
41.
The
ore
was
processed
in
the
concentrating
mill
[25,
p.
21.
The
average
ore
grade
was
1.30%
copper,
4.91%
zinc,
0.35%
lead,
and
0.50
ounces
per
ton
of
silver
[25,

DESCRIPTION
(CONCLUDED)

The
remaining
non­
mineral
particles
and
residues
of
the
chemical
reagents
were
discharged
to
the
tailings
pond
[6,
pp.
5,6;
12,
pp.
4,5].
The
approximately
11­
acre
tailings
pond
is
located
in
the
southern
portion
ofthe
property,
adjacent
to
Goose
Pond
[6,
pp.
5,6;
11,
p.
2;
16,
p.
11.
A
series
of
dams
were
constructed
as
material
was
added
to
the
tailings
pond.
The
final
height
of
the
dam
is
82
feet
[6,
p.
10,
Figure
21.
Mining
operations
ceased
in
June
1972
due
to
the
depletion
ofthe
mineral
reserve.
Milling
ceased
in
July
1972
[25,
p.

A
study
completed
by
the
Maine
Department
ofMarine
Resources
in
1975
examined
bio­
accumulation
of
trace
elements
in
selected
marine
organisms
located
in
Goose
Cove
[3
11.
Levels
of
cadmium,
copper,
lead,
and
zinc
were
detected
at
several
times
to
several
orders
of
magnitude
higher
in
Goose

biota
and
sediments
than
in
samples
collected
from
other
Maine

The
most
recent
sampling
event
was
conducted
by
the

The
fresh

were
diverted
south
through
a
drainage
ditch
into
Wier

on
the

Thus,
with
no

reconnaissance
conducted
by

F.
Weston,

(WESTON)
Superfund
Technical

and
Response
Team
(START)
personnel,
the
waste
rock
material
was
observed
throughout
the
site
[lo,
pp.
4,6,7].

The
Waste
Rock
Piles
(Source
1)
comprise
three
piles
of
waste
rock,
known
as
Waste
Rock
Pile,
Waste
Rock
Pile
2,
and
the
Tailings
Pile
(see
Figure
3
in
Attachment
A
of
this
document)
[l
1
,
pp.
1,2].
This
source
has
been
evaluated
as
a
"pile"
because
the
mining
process
resulted
in
the
deposition
of
the
overlying
nonmetal­
bearing
waste
rock
(dump
rock)
as
waste
rock
piles
[6,
pp.
5,
141.
All
three
piles
are
composed
of
the
same
waste
rock:
volcanic
agglomerate
and
rhyolite
with
minor
amounts
of
carbonate,
talc
and
talc­
chlorite
rock
with
varying
amounts
of
associated
disseminated
pyrite
[6,
p.
14;
10,
pp.
8,
131.
Within
the
waste
rock
piles,
an
occasional
piece
of
ore
rock
can
be
found,
consisting
of
chalcopyrite
and
sphalerite
within
a
chloritic
or
talcose
matrix
[6,
p.
141.
The
three
waste
rock
piles
will
be
evaluated
as
one
source
because
they
have
similar
waste
characteristics
and
containment
features.

Waste
Rock
Pile,
also
known
as
"Callahan
Mountain,"
is
the
largest
of
the
three
piles
and
is
located
south

The
Tailings

(Source

is
located
south
of
Waste
Rock
Pile
and
the
Tailings
Pile,
and
is
adjacent
to
and
west
of
Goose

(see
Figure

[l

p.
21.
This
source
has
also
been
referred
to
as
the
"tailings
storage
pond,"
"tailings,"
and
"tailings
area"
in
previous
investigations
[6,
pp.
10,
121.
Fine
sand
and
silt­
sized
pulverized
rocks
which
constitute
the
unwanted
waste
from
the
milling
process
were
deposited
into
the
Tailings
Pond
[6,
pp.
5,6,
lo].
The
area
of
the
Tailings
Pond
was
calculated
by
ME
DEP
to
be
506,908
ft*
[l
1,
p.
21.
The
center
of
the
Tailings
Pond
contains
ponded
water
and
wetland
vegetation,
while
the
majority
of
the
Tailings
Pond
is
dry
and
is
consists
of
a
silty
powder
[lo,
p.
91.

The
milling
process
at
the
Callahan
Mine
began
when
ore
was
trucked
from
the
open­
pit
mine
to
an
ore
storage
area
adjacent
to
the­
mill
[6,
p.
5;
7,
11­
2811.
From
this
location,
the
ore
was
loaded
into
a
series
of
crushers
and
mills
which
reduced
the
rock
to
the
consistency
of
fine
sand
and
silt
[6,
p.
51.
Following
mill
pulverizing,
small
particles
containing
zinc
and
copper
were
recovered
in
the
concentrating
mill
by
a
process
called
"flotation"
[6,
p.
51.
The
ore
was
passed
through
flotation
cells
into
which
chemicals
were
introduced
which
caused
the
mineral
particles
to
float
on
bubbles
[6,
p.
6;
12,
pp.
3,
4,
51.
Chemicals
which
were
used
in
the
flotation
process
included:
dithiophosphate
salts,
aryl
phosphorodithioate,
cyclohexanol,
and
cresol
[16,
p.
51.
The
floating
mineral
was
then
collected
and
dried
to
produce
the
zinc
and
copper
concentrates.
The
average
ore
grade
was
1.30%
copper,
4.91%
zinc,
0.35%
lead,
and
0.50
ounces
per
ton
silver
[25,
p.
21.
The'remaining
non­
mineral
particles
and
residues
of
the
chemical
reagents
were
discharged
to
the
tailings
pond
[6,
pp.
5,6].
To
the
extent
possible,
the
frothing
reagents
were
recycled
within
the
mill.
However,
certain
amounts
of
these
reagents
accompanied
the
tailings
to
the
tailings
storage
pond
(Tailings
Pond)
[6,
p.
61.
Personnel
from
American
Cyanamid,
the
source
of
the
reagents,
stated
that
they
were
unaware
of
any
environmental
hazards
associated
with
the
reagents
and
that
no
toxicity
problems
have
been
reported
[6,
p.
111.
A
1972
analysis
of
the
tailings
documented
the
presence
of
the
following
hazardous
substances:
cadmium,
copper,
lead,
silver,
and
zinc
[6,
pp.
10­
1
11.

As
tailings
were
deposited
in
the
Tailings
Pond,
a
series
of
dams
were
constructed
along
the
eastern
boundary
of
the
Tailings
Pond
to
contain
the
tailings
waste
16,
p.
10,
Figure
2;
16,
p.
11.
These
dams
were
constructed
with
an
outer
­layer
of
coarse
rubble
and
an
inner
layer
of
coarse
mill
tailings
and
clay
[6,
Figure
21.
The
final
height
of
the
dam
was
82
A
above
the
original
ground
surface
[6,
p.

The
Tailings
Pond
was
also
constructed
with
a
decant
pipe,
which
was
presumed
by
START
to
be
designed
to
drain
free
liquids
in
the
Tailings
Pond
to
the
Goose

[6,

In
1972,
in
order
to
provide
drainage
of
surface
water
from
the
Tailings
Pond
(tailings),
a
drainage
ditch
was
excavated
from

35%.
The
sieve
analysis
indicate
that
the
samples
are
similar
in
composition.
They
are
predominately
silts
and
clay.
Because
of
silts
and
clay's
strong
affinity
for
metals,
if
inorganic
contaminants
were
transported
to
Goose
Pond
from
Callahan
Mine,
the
analytical'
results
should
reflect
this
impact
[5,
pp.

The
sediment
samples
[99­

and

collected
from
Dyer
Cove
were
described
as
poorly
sorted
sand,
silt,
and
clay,
with
some
gravel
[5,

In
comparison
to
the
background
sediment
samples,
the
sediment
samples
collected
from
Dyer
Cove
were
much
coarser
[5,
p.
21.
As
a
result,
any
elevated
concentrations
of
metals
detected
in
the
Dyer
Cove
sediment
sample
are
particularly
significant,
considering
the
tendency
for
finer­
grained
background

samples
to
be
naturally
higher
in
metals

of
hazardous

in
the

at
the
site
is
based
on
historical
information
and
chemical
analysis.
Historically,
the
site
includes
the
location
of
a
zinclcopper
open­
pit
mine
which
wasoperatedby
the
Callahan
Mining
Company
from
February
1968
to
June
1972
[6,
p.
5;
34,
pp.
1­
21.
During
this
period
Callahan
excavated
a
total
of
about
5
million
tons
of
non­
metal­
bearing
waste
rock
(Source
1)
and
798,000
to
800,000
tons
of
metal
bearing
"ore"
rock
[6,
p.
51.
For
every
ton
of
ore
extracted,
six
tons
of
waste
had
to
be
removed
and
deposited
in
waste
piles
[
6,
p.
51.
The
main
components
of
this
ore
deposit
were
sphalerite
(ZnS)
and
chalcopyrite
(CuFeS,),
accompanied
by
abundant
pyrite
(FeS,)
and
lesser
amounts
of
pyrrhotite
(FeS)
[6,
p.
14;
8,
p.
1821.
The
average
ore
grade
was
1.30%
copper,
4.91%
zinc,
0.35%
lead,
and
0.50
ounces
per
ton
of
silver
[25,
p.
21.
Mining
and
milling
operations
ceased
in
June
1972,
and
a
reclamatich
program
was
begun
that
included
removal
of
the
freshwater
dam,
and
flooding
of
the
320­
foot
deep
open
pit
by
opening
18­
inch
sluice
boards
at
the
Goose
Falls
Dam
[6,
pp.
6,
71.
Within
the
waste
rock
piles
(Source
l),
an
occasional
piece
of
ore
rock
can
be
found,
consisting
of
chalcopyrite
and
sphaleritewithinachloriticortalcosematrix
[6,
p.
141.
WithintheTailingsPond(
Source2),
the
unwanted
components
of
the
floatation
process
(which
separated
ore
from
non­
ore)
were
accumulated
[6,
pp­
5,6].
Cadmium
is
usually
present
in
small
amounts
in
sphalerite
[32,
p.
2501.
Galena
(PbS),
a
lead
sulfide
mineral,
is
commonly
foundwithsphalerite
and
hasbeencollectedfromthe
tailings
piles
at
the
site
[32,
pp.
250­
251;
34,
p.
51.
Clausthalite
(PbSe),
lead
selenide,
is
very
similar
to
galena
[45,
p.
11.
Acanthite
is
a
silver
sulfide
associated
with
galena
and
aguilarite
is
another'silver
sulifide
which
also
contains
selenium
[33;
391.
In
addition,
selenium
is
found
as
a
trace
element
in
many
copper
sulfide
minerals
especially
pyrite
and
coal
[45,
p.
13.
Therefore,
the
hazardous
substances
cadmium,
copper,
lead,
selenium,
silver,
and
zinc
are
attributable
to
the
site
based
on
their
association
with
the
ore
deposit
wastes
mined
at
the
site.

Areas
in
Mid­
Coastal
Maine
have
been
mined
for
copper
and
zinc
since
the
later
part
of
the
1800's
[34,
p.

A
second
mine
in
the
area,
now
abandoned,
was
the
Kerramerica
(Blue
Hill)
mine
located
approximately
10
miles
northeast
of
the
Callahan
Mine
[X,
p.
171;
34,
p.
11.
Blue
Hill's
distance
from
Callahan
Mine
makes
it
unlikely
it
contributed
to
the
contaminationdetectedattheCallahanMinesite.
