Taken around 2000, this photo shows mine tailings deposits along Silver Bow Creek, a primary headwater of the Clark Fork River. Tailings are particularly harmful to aquatic life. Ongoing remediation and restoration have greatly improved the health of the creek from Butte to Ramsay; work is underway on the remaining contaminated sections.
