Otto Lake - Herman Lake Narrows
Ontario, Canada
Magino Mine Site discharges the effluent into Otto Lake, after a series of passive water management. Diffusers at the end of the discharge pipe help with the dilution process. Testing the narrows before water flows into Herman Lake serves as a prefect location to determine potential contamination concentrations entering the much larger body of water of Herman Lake.

This was location #1 for a Benthic Study that we conducted for base line information as this location is to receive effluent from the Magino Mine Property in support of Alamos Gold's Island Gold District mining operation. This study and training support was provided by NORDIK Institute (Algoma University)
The Magino Mine Site was currently discharging effluent at the time of this water sample observation.
Mine representative stated that the our results for conductivity is average.
