'If you live, work or are planning a trip to Walker, Ariz., we are asking you to please stay away from this orange liquid/soil located near the former Sheldon Mine,' writes the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality.
The state Department of Environmental Quality on Friday issued a news release strongly urging the public to keep away from an area in Walker that surrounds where Sheldon Mine was.
They say a local resident notified them about some orange liquid and soils. Agency inspectors confirmed it Thursday. Officials say the orange liquid could come up in other nearby areas. It may all be caused by recent snow and rain in northern and central Arizona. Meanwhile, the department is trying to identify what the orange substances are and if any cleanup operations are needed.
Anyone who has come in contact with the orange liquid or soil and experienced adverse reactions should consult their medical provider.
