Superfund Record of Decision (EPA Region 10): Bunker Hill Mining and Metallurgical Complex, Shoshone County, ID. (Second remedial action), September 1992. Final report
The Bunker Hill Mining and Metallurgical Complex site, a 21-square-mile area centered around an inactive industrial mining and smelting site, includes the Cities of Kellogg, Page, Pinehurst, Smelterville, Wardner, Shoshone County, Idaho. The inactive several hundred acre industrial complex includes the Bunker Hill mine and mill, a lead and zinc smelter, and a phosphoric acid fertilizer plant. Initially, most solid and liquid residue from the complex was discharged into the river. When the river flooded, these materials were deposited onto the valley floor and were leached into onsite soil and ground water. The primary contaminants of concern affecting the soil, sediment, debris, ground water, and surface water are organics, including PCBs; metals, including arsenic and lead; and inorganics, including asbestos.
