How much of that is the mine going to take away

Answer; none.

If the federal and state environmental agencies monitor and regulate the mine half as much as they do large cattle feeding operations and the gas and oil industry id bet there won't be any large scale or environmental changing pollution happening.

Prior to 1978 much of this was private land with resorts and businesses within it. After the USFS took control of it, the buildings were either torn down or burned in place. All of these sites were simply "hidden" from the public. They still exist today along with cars and trucks as well as one below ground "visible" gas pump and tanks as of the last time I was there about 5 years ago. The bulk of the BW that is seen is from the water and very little of the ground is actually seen by man.



He just did a quick Google search and basically copied the first paragraph. Dig deeper it isn't quite just what it says.

Is safe clean drinking water becoming an increasing problem? I know some dryer regions suffer because of overall availability but im not sure polluted water is really much of an issue here in the USA. Has mining ruined the drinking water in your area?
