AHMP/ASSP Joint tour

Alliance of Hazardous Material Professionals/American Society of Safety Professionals Industry Joint Tour

You are invited to the AHMP/ASSP Argo Mill, Tunnel and Superfund Site Tour in Idaho Springs, CO on Friday, April 22, 2022 @ 9AM. https://argomilltour.com/

If you have never been, the Argo Mill and Tunnel is much more interesting than you would expect for a tourist attraction. This tour will take you through the mill explaining how the mill worked, discuss the safety (or lack thereof) and health of the worker in the mill while it was in operation, take you into the tunnel (it was not a “mine”) and then have you pan for gold. Then we will go down to the Superfund side of things and tour the wastewater treatment plant to discuss the history and clean up efforts associated with the tunnel.
