The Carson River basin, from New Empire to Stillwater and the Carson Sink, was designated as National Priority Listed (NPL)
due to historic mining activity under the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA or Superfund) in August, 1990.
This is Nevada's only NPL site and is being jointly managed by NDEP and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 9 (EPA), Region IX, in
San Francisco.
