Montana town listed as federal Superfund site
Superior and Mineral County officials petitioned the Environmental Protection Agency to make the Montana community a Superfund site after a 2002 quick response team from the EPA found widespread contamination of high levels of lead, arsenic and other toxins left over from decades of operations of the now-defunct Iron Mountain Mine and Mill, and on Wednesday, their request was granted, opening the way for federal funding to clean up the contamination.
