Property Highlights

Former Use: The property is located at the end of a small access road off of Highway 169, near Weitchpec, Humboldt County, California. The Subject Property, includes a relatively flat area which lacks significant vegetation and contains a residence and access to Gist Creek which flows through the property, and a trail that connects and gives access to the hillside above the Klamath River and areas of shoreline along the river. The surrounding area is primarily forested vacant land with some residences.The north adjacent parcel is indicated as being used for a school. The Subject Property slopes steeply to the southwest, towards the Klamath River. The slope has been altered by historic hydraulic gold mining, in which part of the hillside was removed. Piles of large boulders and waste rock remain on the slope. A nearby resident to the Site indicated that there were �rust colored seeps� just downstream of the former mine. / Historic information indicates the use of �quicksilver� on the site and according to Mercury Contamination from Hydraulic Placer-Gold Mining in the Dutch Flat Mining (USGS, 1999), mercury contamination at historic gold mining sites represents a potential risk to human health and the environment. / Ownership is United States Government, property is allotted land held in trust status for the Yurok Tribe by the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA).
