View of Dublin Gulch about 15 years ago

Just 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

illustrated as “Anthropogenic soils” in Figure 4. "

Dublin Gulch, Yukon, is the site of a potential open pit

heap leach gold mine development. The property is

located at the confluence of Haggart Creek and Dublin

Gulch, approximately 40 km north of Mayo, and 15 km

northwest of Elsa, YT (Figure 1, inset). The site presents

a number of geotechnical engineering challenges related

to its geologic history."

BSG reports and analysis was used in further work as the mine was engineered ending with JDS/Hatch.
