In this two-part episode of Anchored, we discuss the issue of abandoned mines in the US, their cleanup, and the potential of the ‘Good Samaritan remediation’ approach to facilitate these cleanups. We delve into the legacy of mining and hydropower in the US, as well as how TU navigates the issue of introduced fish.
