Many adits in the Yukon have water flowing from them in winter, which freezes and builds up like a road glacier. Ice completely blocks the adit and dams water behind it, filling the mine. Eventually the ice dam fails, releasing the water suddenly. A large volume of water suddenly released from a mine may cause property damage, jeopardize public safety, or result in a toxic surge downstream if mine water is conatminated.
