The 150-acre Callahan Mining Corporation operated between 1968 and 1972 as a open-pit zinc/copper mine and is thought to be the only intertidal mine in the world during the time that it operated. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has proposed the former mine in Brooksville, Maine for inclusion on the National Priorities List (NPL). The NPL, also known as Superfund, is a list of hazardous waste sites that are eligible for Federal funding to pay for extensive long-term cleanup.
