Painted Hills Natural Resource Park (Former Ore Mill Site)

City of Tucson Environmental Services, with our consultants, is investigating a former ore mill located northwest of the intersection of Speedway Blvd. and Silverbell Rd. To date, three investigations have been completed: a geophysical investigation (to look for voids and possible mine shafts that could pose physical hazards), a soil quality investigation to evaluate metal concentrations in soil and an archeological report.  Please use the links below to view PDF files of the completed reports from these investigations.
