Abstract
The Orphan Sites Feasibility Study is a trading initiative focused on providing incentives for entities to clean up "orphan sites"in exchange for some type of credit. To test the concepts developed as part of this study, a pilot project in the Clear Creek basin has been identified. This demonstration project, which includes the clean-up of a waste rock tailings pile is being used to evaluate various aspects of the trading framework. The evaluation focuses on specific areas such as environmental liability, access issues, brokering, and other lessons learned throughout the demonstration process. The results of the evaluation are the focus of this paper.
