EPA Begins Lead Soil Cleanup in East Helena | Bozeman News
Description
Lead-contaminated soil is being dug up this week in East Helena as the EPA launches a major cleanup at the former American Smelting site — a century-old industrial zone poisoning land and groundwater. Crews are removing tainted soil from yards, replacing it with clean dirt, and restoring landscapes — all funded by $40 million from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. This is part of a $1 billion national push to clean up 100 Superfund sites, with the EPA pledging visible, tangible progress for residents worried about health risks — especially for kids and pregnant women — as work continues through 2031, weather permitting.
