NRDP worked with DEQ and the US Forest Service (USFS) to remediate and restore the Upper Blackfoot Mining Complex, a historic mining district at the headwaters of the Upper Blackfoot River. In 1975, a failure of the Mike Horse Dam released an estimated 100,000 tons of mining tailings and other materials into the Upper Blackfoot River and Beartrap Creek. Between 2015 and 2020, NRDP, DEQ, and USFS removed the Mike Horse Dam and the tailings and waste from the floodplain of the Upper Blackfoot and its tributaries (Beartrap Creek and Mike Horse Creek). The stream channels were then rebuilt and the floodplain restored and revegetated. These photo points show progress of the restored channels and floodplains on Upper Mike Horse Creek, Upper Beartrap Creek, Lower Beartrap Creek, and the Upper Blackfoot River from when remediation/restoration on each reach was completed up through 2022.
