I agree. The cited fact sheet doesn't pertain to contaminated ground water, plus it's talking about human toxicity, not an aqueous ecosystem. Iron oxides in water imply a previous reduction-oxidation reaction, which probably means the water is oxygen deficient. Additionally, the OP has stated that the water is acidic (dissolved CO2?).
There are bacterias in stagnant water that love iron and produce iron oxide; so that's another possible red flag.
I know nothing about that mine or it's water, but an MSDS about inhaled iron oxide addresses none of the above.
