Where can I find more information about alternative clean-up methods that were presented for consideration concerning the Pit?
Several technologies were considered before the Agencies (federal EPA and state DEQ) approved the selected method to treat water from the Berkeley Pit. The official Feasibility Study for this Superfund site detailed a number of water treatment technologies for the Pit and provided thorough evaluations of the pros and cons of each cleanup method. Since then, many organizations and companies have conducted a variety of research projects on alternative clean-up methods. Examples of groups that have requested water from the Pit (through the Montana Bureau of Mines and Geology at Montana Tech in Butte) to support their research include: • EPA National Risk Management Research Laboratory (Cincinnati, OH): treatability studies focused on product recovery; • MSE (Butte, MT): treatability studies associated with the Horseshoe Bend treatment plant; • Montana Tech (Butte, MT): various research projects; • Ion Resolution (Virginia City, MT): treatability studies focused on product recovery; • Viro
