Berkeley Pit Fog
from when life reflects art by Dental Drill Slips
about
The Berkeley Pit is a massive former open pit copper mine located in Butte, Montana, USA. The mine operated from 1955 until 1982. The pit is slowly filling with water which presents a serious environmental problem because the water, with dissolved oxygen, allows pyrite and sulphide minerals in the ore and wall rocks to decay, releasing acid about as strong as lemon juice. As a result, the pit is laden with heavy metals and dangerous chemicals that leach from the rock, including copper, arsenic, cadmium, zinc, and sulphuric acid. The water level has risen to within 150 feet of the natural groundwater level. The pit is currently a tourist attraction, with an adjacent gift shop.
