Entec study 2008<br />

The Coledale Beck and the Newlands Beck in<br />

Braithwaite both fail their environmental quality<br />

standards (EQS) for zinc and cadmium.<br />

Immediately downstream of the mine the zinc and<br />

cadmium concentrations are up to 140 and 65 times<br />

the standard respectively.<br />

Five kilometres downstream of the mine in the<br />

Newlands Beck, zinc is seven times the EQS and<br />

cadmium four times.
