ROD Amendment for Upper Basin and Box
On this page: Background
    EPA will set priorities for ecological cleanup work in the Upper Basin and Box. Planning is happening to update some EPA cleanup decisions.

    The Upper Basin includes the South Fork of the Coeur d'Alene River and its tributaries downstream to where they flow into the North Fork. The Box is the 21-square-mile area around the old Bunker Hill smelter where EPA began its cleanup activities in the early 1980s.

    The goal of this new effort is to set out a comprehensive, holistic cleanup approach across the Basin to improve water quality. EPA will select more cleanup actions for the Upper Basin and Box, and prepare an amendment to the Record of Decision (ROD). A ROD amendment is a change to the current Record of Decision that guides overall cleanup in the Basin. Under the Superfund law, EPA is responsible for modifying the ROD. A Proposed Plan will be provided for public comment. EPA hopes to complete the ROD amendment by 2010.
