Between 2002 and 2009, the Alliance of Hazardous Materials Professionals - North Star Chapter (AHMP-NSC) conducted numerous volunteer projects at Voyageurs National Park through its CHMMunity program. Members of the chapter volunteered their technical skills to complete specialized projects at the Park. One such project was the Lyle Mine Remediation. The Lyle Mine was a historic gold mine located on a small island in Rainy Lake. The vertical shaft had been used as a dump and had filled with water creating a significant hazard. This presentation covers the first phase of the project, which included an environmental risk evaluation and environmental monitoring. Based on this information, the North Star Chapter members returned the next year to complete a drawdown of the pit and permanently seal the mine shaft to eliminate the hazard to visitors. Visitors to the Park can reach the island today by boat. You will find a "bear box" there with a plate thanking the members of the North Star Chapter for their efforts.
