Road Programs Get Mileage
The Roadway Surface Remediation Strategy is getting some
mileage! Already, local jurisdiction contractors have completed
about 8 miles of local paved roads. That's roughly three miles in the
Box and 5 miles in the Basin. Several neighborhoods throughout the
Silver Valley are enjoying their newly paved streets.
The work for next season is expected to bring that total up to 20
miles. We will start the process earlier so that engineering and
design can start in the winter. That way, workers can hit the ground
running when the weather permits in the late spring and summer.
Capping of contaminated unpaved roads in the Basin by IDEQ_
contractors is also progressing well. All of the public unpaved roads
in the Basin have been sampled. Those found to be above action
levels are being capped with clean gravel. All of the roads requiring
capping in Kootenai have been completed, and the program is
moving up-Basin to finish the work on Shoshone County roads and
in Wallace and Mullan. This work is part of the overall property
remediation program. We anticipate completion of all of the
required work on unpaved roads during the summer of 2014.
The roads work is designed to protect public health. It ensures
that surfaces act as barriers to underlying contamination and that
drainage issues are addressed if required to protect the new gravel
or asphalt barriers. It reduces lead exposure from dirt and dust
generated by traffic on county and local public roads and helps
prevent recontamination of residential and commercial properties
that have been cleaned up.

The road work will also offset the impacts on roads
due to heavy equipment traffic during remedial
actions.
Idaho DEQ_and EPA coordinate with local road
jurisdictions. Many jurisdictions are finding ways to
perform other infrastructure work in concert with
the roads work to stretch available resources. A good
example of this coordination was the successful
completion of unpaved, paved and remedy protection
work that was timed with replacement of sewer lines
in Mullan and water lines in Kellogg.
EPA Invites Public Review:
EPA invites your review of its updated projections
for cleanup over the next ten years. Public input is
due by January 17,2014. The Superfund Cleanup
Implementation Plan, prepared last year, spells out
plans for Superfund cleanup in the Basin. The 2013
Annual Update highlights changes from last year's
plan. The documents describe what cleanup work
will happen and when. Find the documents at select
local libraries or online at http://yosemite.epa.gov/rlO/
cleanup.nsf/sites/bh (under "News").
"We want input from the public as we do this long-
term planning," says EPA Team Leader Bill Adams.
"Some of the work happens in communities, and
people should have a say."
Most changes are related to project schedules. There
has also been a change to the design for collecting
contaminated groundwater beneath the Central
Impoundment Area.
Email your suggestions by January 17 to
adams.bill@epa.gov
Or mail them to: CDA Basin Team, EPA Region 10
1200 6th Avenue, Suite 900, ECL-113,
Seattle, WA 98101.
EPA will prepare a final Update early next year, telling
what changes it made in response to public input.
Working together in the planning and execution of
these programs ensured that those streets would not
have to be torn up later to replace the old lines.
Contracts are advertised under a Public Works
Contract Process with competitive bidding and
appear in local newspapers.

For details about the paved roads program,
call Bruce Schuld, IDEQ^at 208-783-5781.
10-Year Cleanup Projections
The mix and priority of projects over the next ten
years remain the same:
•	Finish property cleanups in the Basin with
emphasis on high risk homes with children and
pregnant women.
•	Continue addressing roads that may have been
damaged by cleanup activities, so that those roads
can continue to serve as barriers to underlying
contamination.
•	Complete actions to protect cleanup work that has
already been done.
•	Upgrade the treatment plant that cleans
groundwater from the Box and Bunker Hill mine.
•	Construct a groundwater extraction system to
intercept contaminated groundwater near the
Central Impoundment Area.
•	Continue high-priority cleanup work along the
East Fork of Ninemile Creek.
•	Begin work in Canyon Creek to collect water for
treatment at the CTP (Central Treatment Plant)
and to control sources of contamination.
•	Do pilot projects in the Lower Basin to increase
understanding of the area and methods to address
risks that may lead to future cleanup work.
•	Design and construct repositories.

Laying the Groundwork: River
EPA is pleased to announce that the Khanderosa RV
Park Campground along the CDA River will be the
site of a pilot project. Lots of input from the local
community guided the decision. This small scale
cleanup will help protect people's health and inform
possible larger-scale cleanups in the future.
Back in July, EPA announced that it had decided to do
a river bank and beach remediation pilot project. This
selection resulted from community input as a result of
workshops held in March and a multi-step selection
process by EPA and IDEQ. The agency has now
finished screening the Khanderosa site and confirmed
it is suitable for the project. Sampling and surveying
are complete and the agency is now preparing a
"design" to guide the cleanup.
Work could include capping or removing
contamination in select areas where the public could
be exposed near the river, stabilizing the river bank,
providing access to the beach and adding cautionary
signs. Cleanup work is expected to be performed next
year.
A second pilot project is still in the early research
phase. That project would manage water levels in a
contaminated area to help prevent waterfowl from
feeding there.
Thanks again to all the people who submitted ideas
for pilot projects. Your input is helping to shape
cleanup actions in the Lower Basin. Find more

2013 Panhandle Health District Blood Lead Screening Effort
By Jerry Cobb, Panhandle Health District
The Kellogg office of Panhandle Health District conducted
its annual free children's blood lead screening in the
Bunker Hill Box and Basin again this summer. The Idaho
Department of Environmental Quality and EPA fund
blood lead screening as a service to families with young
children and expectant mothers living at the Superfund site.
Solicitation for testing from 1985 until 2002 in the Box
was conducted door-to-door by 3 teams comprised of
two locally hired individuals. Teams visited each house in
Kellogg, Smelterville, Wardner, Page, Pinehurst, Elizabeth
Park and lower Montgomery Gulch offering this service.
Children ages 6 months through 9 years were eligible for
screening and were paid for their participation.
In 2000, 95% of the 320 children tested had a blood lead
level below 10 |ig/dL, which met the Remedial Action
Objective (RAO) set for blood lead levels in children site-
wide. This was confirmed and improved upon in 2001 and
again in 2002. For 368 children tested in 2002,2% had a
blood lead level of 10 |_ig /dL or greater.
Federal funding was provided for paid participation and
door-to-door screening from 1985 until it was discontinued
in 2003. Fixed site testing for Box residents was funded
by IDEQ_from 2003-2012. In addition, participants were
not paid for their involvement in the program during this
period. Participation rates dropped dramatically for this 10-
year period.
In May of 2012, the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) reduced its blood lead level of concern
from 10 |_ig /dL to a new "threshold value" of 5 |ig /dL
based on the 97.5th percentile of national blood lead levels
in children ages 1 year through 5 years of age.
To better determine blood lead levels for children living
in the Box in 2013, the screening was again offered door-
to-door and children were paid $30 for their involvement.
Over 3,000 homes were visited. While the number of
children currently living in the Box has dropped, 276
children were tested.
The average blood lead level was 2.4 |_ig /dL down from 3.1
|_ig /dL in 2002. One percent of children tested were above
10 |_ig /dL and 10 children were above 5 |ig /dL.
Program Outreach Activities
• PHD sent a mailer to site residents
in early summer announcing the
upcoming screening.

PHD published advertisements in
regional newspapers and on the local
radio station.
PHD gives annual lead health
presentations to students in
kindergarten through grade 3 at all
local schools, Head Start and the
Christian Academy. PHD provides
classes each spring, just before school
is out for the summer, to remind
children of lead hazards.
EPA and IDEQ public outreach
coordinators provided public
awareness of the summer screening
^	J
Screening in the Basin in 2013 remained similar
to past efforts. Screening sites were located in
both the Upper and Lower Basin, and children
ages 6 months through 6 years of age were paid
$30 for their participation. This was up from
$20 paid in 2012. Ninety two (92) children
participated in 2013, up from 83 children
last year.
The average blood lead level for those screened
in 2013 was 2.8 |_ig /dL. Five children were
identified with a blood lead level of 5 |_ig /dL or
greater.
All children with a blood lead level of
5 |ig /dL or greater were offered a follow-up
home visit to help identify lead sources and
exposure pathways.

Big Creek Repository: Filling Up, Annex Considered
The Big Creek Repository (BCR) at the mouth of
Big Creek Canyon currently takes in waste from
the Upper Basin cleanup actions and Institutional
Controls Plan (ICP) users. During 2013 BCR
received about 25,000 cubic yards of heavy metal
contaminated material. Since opening in 2002,
BCR has received about 526,000 cubic yards of
contaminated material. That's about 85% of the
616,000 cubic yard total design capacity - including
the extra capacity from the 2011 expansion. BCR has
an expected remaining operational life of no more
than two years.
With the BCR filling up, EPA, IDEQ_and the Coeur
d'Alene Trust are exploring ideas for increasing
repository space in the Upper Basin. One of those
ideas is to look into the potential to use an adjacent
area to create an annex to BCR. This would allow for
continued use of the existing infrastructure at BCR
such as the wash off area, office, and entrance, saving
time and money over selecting a totally new location.
A small haul bridge would need to be built over the
creek as the potential annex area is west of BCR on
the other side of Big Creek.
The Trust is now investigating the potential annex
area. The evaluation is expected to continue into
2014. Depending upon the results of the investigation
and public input on this location, design work could
start in 2014.

Cleanup year in review
It was a very big construction year for EPA and
DEQ with over $40 Million being spent on
the cleanup.This work could not have been
completed without the local labor force and
the cooperation and coordination from local
communities. In the course of the cleanup many
lessons were learned and cost savings realized
that will be applied to our cleanup efforts next
year.
Lower Burke Canyon Repository: Work Starts in Spring
Plans are on track for the new Lower Burke
Canyon Repository. Next spring, workers will
start construction of this facility in Wallace, near
Woodland Park. Once preparations are complete,
limited volumes of waste from the Basin-Wide
Institutional Control Program may be disposed of at
this location. However, the majority of the capacity
at this repository will be reserved for future cleanup
waste generated within Canyon Creek.
Last June, EPA hosted an open house and public
comment period about the repository plans. One
commenter raised issues about its height. EPA is
evaluating alternatives that would lower the height of
the LBCR and allow more room for the waste. These
include expanding the footprint of the repository and
looking for other nearby locations for waste disposal.
EPA's goals are to address public health risks, be
responsive to comments, and avoid transport of waste
through Wallace to another disposal location.
EPA would ask for public input if it is able to identify
another disposal location within Canyon Creek.
EPA also received a comment about traffic. There will
be increased truck traffic once cleanup begins in the
upper canyon. Note that the north end of the repository
is up-canyon from Woodland Park. So, truck traffic will
be kept to a minimum near the residential area. Drivers
will be required to follow safety practices, including
safe speed limits, operation only during daylight hours,
covering of loads, decontamination procedures, and dust
and noise control as necessary.
Another commenter was concerned about dust from
and management of the nearby SVNRT repository.
The Agency is looking into options that could address
the human health issues raised about the SVNRT
repository while moving forward with development of
the LBCR. To see the full response to comments, visit

Five Remedy Protection Projects Completed in 2013
DEQ^ EPA, and the Coeur d'Alene Trust completed five Remedy Protection projects in the Silver Valley during
2013. These projects will help to protect completed cleanup work, keep cleaned up areas clean, and reduce the
potential for residents to be exposed to contamination in the long term.
The projects also help to protect private and public property from flooding and storm water runoff damage. The
cities in which the projects are located have agreed to maintain the installed structures so they will continue to
provide flood protection in the future. Shoshone County has agreed to maintain the new culvert in Silverton.
Remedy Protection Projects in the
Bunker Hill Box
•	Wardner - Work to prevent excess water draining
down Sierra Nevada Road from depositing
contaminated soil on Main Street was completed
in July.
•	Smelterville - Widening and deepening portions
of Grouse Creek and replacement of the Old

Planning for Groundwater
EPA is changing the way groundwater will be
collected near the CIA (Central Impoundment Area)
near Kellogg, ID.
Last year, EPA did work to learn how groundwater
moves in this area and to better understand the
water quality so that it can be treated effectively.
The groundwater here is contaminated. It carries
contaminants to the South Fork of the Coeur dAlene
River.
EPA is designing a system to collect the groundwater
and then pipe it to a treatment plant before it goes
into the river. Originally, the agency considered us-
ing an "interception drain" to capture contaminated
groundwater. Instead the design will include a series
of extraction wells and a slurry wall (a barrier made
up of a soil and bentonite/cement) that is installed
beneath the ground surface. This will isolate contami-
nated groundwater from the South Fork and direct

it to the extraction wells where it can be collected for
treatment at the Central Treatment Plant.
Study results showed that the drain design had tech-
nical challenges associated with surface water getting
into the system. By switching to wells and a slurry
wall, costs are estimated to be lower and maintenance
reduced. The system will be more efficient because
surface water will be kept out and this will decrease
the volume of water that requires treatment. This
change will not result in any impact to the commu-
nity; it just changes the way the system is engineered.
EPA expects to have a final design by fall of 2014.
Work on the collection system could begin as early as
summer of 2015.

Major progress up in Ninemile Canyon! Here is a newly laid culvert, part of the
overall project to help control sources of metals contamination.
Progress: Controlling Pollution Sources up in Ninemile
The CDA Work Trust made a ton
of progress up in the East Fork of
Ninemile Creek watershed over
the summer and fall. Workers are
preparing a waste consolidation area,
or WCA, in this remote location.
They have taken steps to protect
the stream, cleared and blasted,
developed roads, installed culverts,
put in a drainage layer, and built up
the sides of a site to hold cleanup
waste.
The WCA will be completed next
year. It will take in waste from the
2014 cleanup of the Interstate-
Callahan Mine rock dumps site.
In future years, cleanups of other
mine sites located in the East Fork of
Ninemile Creek watershed will also
go into the WCA.
Moving contamination from a wide area, and putting it into one smaller, isolated, and managed location,
will help keep it from moving downstream.
Workers are preparing a "waste consolidation area" to help control sources of metals contamination.

The CDA Work Trust is now done cleaning up
two large commercial properties in the Basin: the
Shoshone County Yard in Osburn and the vacant US
Silver lot in Silverton. Workers placed clean material,
including gravel and asphalt in some locations.
Together, the two lots represent about 500,000 square
feet of cleanup! The goal is to protect public health.
The CDA Work Trust will likely be doing more
Basin property cleanup jobs in the future, as well as
a number of other cleanup activities throughout the
Basin.
The Trust was set up as part of a Superfund
settlement in 2009. It administers funds under the
direction of EPA, conducting Superfund cleanup
work in areas contaminated by historical mining
practices in the Basin. Work conducted by the Trust
is funded by settlement monies, and does not use
taxpayer dollars.

How was the paper work and coordination process for
you? Is there a way we can improve?
We received a positive reply about our program.
Homeowners liked the landscaping and drainage
work on yards, they appreciated the cordial and
respectful staff and contractors during the process,
and they appreciated being able to ask questions and
make adjustments to the work plans as necessary.
DEQ_heard that a single-point of contact, or Property

instinct and Hard Work: The Interstate Callahan Mine
By Troy Lambert
Born in Illinois in 1858, Jim Callahan left home at 18
and traveled extensively before arriving at Evolution
on Prospect Creek in 1883. He worked several odd
jobs, spent a year prospecting in Kootenai County
and then filed a claim in 1887 on what would become
the Callahan mine. He built a cabin nearby that he
inhabited for 17 years.
To support his exploration Jim worked at other mines,
using his wages to buy powder and supplies. In 1890
he was seriously injured working in the Empire State
Mine near Wardner. While recovering from his
accident, other miners took an option on his mine,
and extended the discovery adit 300 feet before giving
up. He returned to work himself, and after extending
the adit another 17 feet discovered a major vein.
Throughout 1906 he constructed a mile-long road
by hand to the nearest railhead during the day,
hand sorting ore by night. At the end of the year
he shipped 11 cars of crude ore assayed at 60% lead
and 15 ounces of silver per ton and worth $110,000.
In 1907 the mine shipped 600 tons of ore, but his
physical condition deteriorated, and he sought
treatment in the southwest and Arkansas. He tried to
interest John Robbers, who already had control of the
adjacent Interstate, in the mine but failed.
However, in 1911 when he offered stock to raise
money for a mill Robbers and other Minnesota
investors bought $100,000 worth, and in June 1912
formed a new enterprise called the Consolidated
Interstate Mining Company. Jim continued to hold
stock and remained involved in the company until he
passed away in 1921. Operations at the mine ceased
shortly thereafter in 1923.
Lessees did some mining and reprocessed tailings
from dump areas until 1946. Day Mines continued to
remove ore and material from Interstate stopes as late
as 1977 through the connecting drifts of the adjacent
Monitor Group. The mine once thought to be a futile
enterprise produced 1,423,619 tons of ore including
1,987,651 ounces of silver, 99,215,270 pounds of
lead, 306,931,724 pounds of zinc, 106,104 pounds of
copper, and 259 ounces of gold.
