Now, the spoil heaps at the old copper mine up on Åreskutan near Huså in Åre Municipality are being excavated in full swing. This is being done to map the environmental impact from the former mining operations. – Samples have been taken in Skutån and Husån, which run from this area, which show elevated levels of copper and zinc, says Eva Smedborn Paulsson, environmental protection officer at the County Administrative Board.
