View of Dublin Gulch about 15 years agoJust for interest as to what the Dublin Gultch should be returned to.
As shown it's not exactly pristine fro over 100 ys of placer mining. This is is what it should be restored too based on "resoration to pre-existing conditions" not to pre late 1800's.

Interesting document by BSG Engineering
"The long history of placer mining activity in the area
has transformed the valley bottom, leaving extensive
deposits of re-worked materials, or placer tailings. These
man-made deposits are highly variable in texture, density
and thickness, and cover an area roughly 1.5 km long by
200 m wide, extending along much of the Dublin Gulch
valley bottom. Typical placer tailings are shown in Figure
7, and the extent of placer tailings in the valley bottom is
BSG reports and analysis was used in further work as the mine was engineered ending with JDS/Hatch.
