Welcome to The Dirt
A new collaborative group has formed to provide a series of up-to-date information and educational news about the current happenings within the Bunker Hill Mining and Metallurgical Complex Superfund Site (BHSS).
The new group, who call themselves The Dirt, is comprised of local experts from multiple entities and agencies including the Basin Environmental Improvement Project Commission, Panhandle Health District, Shoshone County, Silver Valley Economic Development Committee, and the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality.
The BHSS includes environmental cleanup and restoration work in areas contaminated by mining waste in the Coeur d’Alene River Watershed, Coeur d’Alene Lake, and the upper reaches of the Spokane River. The system is 166 river miles through northern Idaho and eastern Washington; the boundary includes about 1,500 square miles. It is one of the largest Superfund sites in the nation.
