Columbia Falls Aluminum Cleanup Moves Forward | Bozeman News
Description
In Columbia Falls, Montana, a long-delayed environmental cleanup is finally moving forward after decades of pollution from a shuttered aluminum plant. The company, now owned by a Swiss firm, has agreed to pay $57 million to contain toxic waste—including arsenic, fluoride, and cyanide—on the Superfund-listed site. Officials plan to consolidate and cap the waste, a safer and more practical approach than hauling it away, paving the way for future redevelopment. While the cleanup will take years and face public review, local advocates remain vigilant to ensure the site, bordering the Flathead River, is fully remediated and safe for the community.
