• Description:
  The Anaconda Co. Smelter site constitutes a large area in and around Anaconda, Montana impacted by historical mining activities. The site was listed on the National Priorities List (NPL) in 1983, and characterization and cleanup of the site by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Atlantic Richfield Company (ARCO) has continued since that time. In 2006, the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) received a request from an Anaconda resident to evaluate the action level for arsenic in residential soil that had been determined in a 1998 Record of Decision (ROD) [1]. In this health consultation, ATSDR evaluates the studies and decisions made to determine the action level, responds to community questions about the decision made, and determines the public health impact of using the action level in the community.
