In 1980 wells near Shullsburg and Bear Hole mines produced rust colored water with odors. The Mining Investment and Local Impact Fund Board agreed in 1981 to fund 75 percent of $82,000 for nine new wells and $10,200 for monitoring. Judge McDonald later ordered full compensation to landowners for damages to water supplies, with potential costs estimated around $1 million. The Eagle- Pichr mines were sold to Inspiration Mines that year.
