A friend of mine told me this story a while ago. Apparently there was this mine that had been flooded. The area around it created a contaminated lake. Over the years the lake started to become cleaner, no one could figure out why. They finally figured out that it was the goose poop, As birds were going over the water and pooping in it, there were microbes in thier poop that thrived in the water and literally ate the contamination. Weird eh?

The microbiome is one of the most important things to helping the environment, and people often don't recognize its significance. If you'll recall the BP oil spill... well, the main way that was cleaned up was not by siphons or solvents, but by dumping tons and tons of nitrate fertilizer into the waters. This helped blossom up the microbes, which would eat and process the crude oil.

They can’t fill it in because it’s flowing ground water. Plugging it would cause a pressure imbalance which could theoretically cause a sinkhole and make shit a lot worse.

And all that would happen is birds would start nesting on the net, which wouldn't exactly solve the problem, and eventually the net would degrade, then you'd have even more pollution from the giant net needing replaced. You'd also need to have pillars installed all over the lake to support the net over the water, with enough room to get out there under it to do maintenance. And we're talking a mile wide. We're talking about a whole skyscraper worth of materials and construction needed. Those bullets might cost a couple of dollars a pop.

There's a couple things you don't know. First - jobs in Butts are almost impossible to find. Most ppl I know that live there have remote jobs. Second - Berkeley Pit for better and for worse has been used in areas of studies for years - thankfully it's very rare to find a lake this messed up. Thirdly - this is groundwater that's been contaminated. It would be almost impossible to drain with how much water passes through there and if it was just filled, the groundwater would disperse. That is a very good question and there are some resources out there if you are interested in further research!

Maybe try putting a lid on that pond. Spray foam up the banks and across the water 4 or 5 feet thick. The entire thing! Companies will be able to tell you the best type of foam to handle the weather forever but the foam hardens strong enough to walk across. Maybe 6 or 7 feet but put a lid on it. Spraying 10 feet up the banks holds it in place.

this is why these companies should be held accountable for this type of behavior. They just decied "okay lets shut the pumps off" considering all of this.

Honestly bro, natural selection

"Has anyone pointed out the irony that you protect birds and then go hunting". As an avid outdoors man there is no irony here. Wildlife conservation and protection is spearheaded by those who use the resource the most. I love fishing and do everything in my power to protect our lakes. Without a healthy fish population I would lose sustenance, a passion and most importantly a beautiful array of water creatures beyond those predatory fish we catch. Same can be said about land animals and birds! Wild Turkey re-population in Ontario was spearheaded by hunters. That has been a huge conservation effort success.

This all seems ironic since i like fishing myself and in doing so hurt the fish caugt on my line but atleast i do my part in trying to keep the fish and nearby seafowl population somewhat healthy for future generations. As you stated, hunters, fishermen and outdoorsmen are usually the people who are the most educated in and try their best to keep the ecosystem at a healthy rate so that other generations can experience and be part of it in the future, as ironic as it may seem to some.

I keep thinking about how much it sucks that we have toxic lakes just sitting there.

I applaud the people helping these birds out. On the other hand, I feel like the company that made the hole should have to re-fill or cover it when they closed that part of the mine. It being out there for decades is not necessary. The mine closed in the 80s. They've had 40 years to slowly re-fill it.

This is the funniest kind of animal protection, ever. Love it.

just to clarify- i have lived in Butte for about 25 years. not long after we moved here, a flock of geese landed in the pit and they all died. at first they claimed that the geese had died from 'something else', but eventually determined it was the pit water. it was then that they got serious about keeping birds out of the pit.

That money then goes into monitoring & conserving wildlife on the entire continent and not just from hunting but also from natural disasters. Read on, i got more... * This then gives jobs to those working in conservation and hunters are the only reason they get paid for having those jobs. * The hunt itself (claim not "murder") also benefits the genetics, disease, and balances life as it should be. * Tags are only issued at a rate that balances the population, not just kills it into some kind of fantasy extinction.

hearing about miners choking up talking about seeing thousands of dead birds in the pit is a good reminder that on an individual level none of us _want_ to create pollution; it's a problem that we create as an aftereffect, because it's easier or cheaper to do things the wrong way... or that sometimes there is no 'right' way, or sometimes even because something no one expected happened. It's a problem that we all create together, through our demands for goods, and it is something we all need to find solutions for together.

They did that in Guatemala. There was a pristine beautiful mountain forest with wildlife and some Canadian (not sure) company convinced the government that they were sitting on the biggest unexploited vein of gold and that the country would benefit so much if they let that company develop it. They provided jobs for the locals for about 6 to 8 months. They barely paid a bit of taxes to remove all of the gold. They razed down the mountain and left instead a barren toxic wasteland. They made a pit into a lake so toxic with arsenic. They told the locals not to worry, that in a few years the water was going to be safe to drink. It still is toxic. It has killed many birds and animals. A small poor country with no resources to know what to do is devastated by such a thing. The locals are now much poorer and don't even understand how to deal with the degradation of the environment. That's why a few years later when the company tried to do the same in the neighboring country El Salvador, they knew to say no and protest and stop the mining deal. But decades later the damaged area in Guatemala has just grown from the contamination seeping further into nearby streams and lakes. Then those people whose environment has been destroyed think of the only solution to try to reach the USA and find a job there. Even if crossing the border illegally. We should understand that the world is one whole, interconnected and if we damage some parts of it, even if we think it is far away it will have repercussions for everyone of us. It's like spitting at the sky, will fall back down. I wish there was a way to hold corporations accountable for what they damage, have them clean up no matter if they did it to a far away country.
