Photograph taken during the 1st Annual NYWSC Dive Safety Day. The purpose of the safety day is to allow the NYWSC divers time to practice the skills they utilize during their routine dives, while also giving them a chance to work an any additional skills that might aid in dive safety and communication.

Elizabeth Mine was a copper mine in Strafford, Vermont, that was abandoned in 1957. It was added to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Superfund Program’s National Priority List in 2001. Since then, EPA and USGS have cooperated to investigate the nature and extent of contamination from weathering of waste rock rich in metals and sulfides.
