Idaho firm, state agree on smelter cleanup plan
Bunker Hill and Idaho health officials reached a deal on cleaning up the lead zinc smelter in Coeur d Alene. The pact hinges on federal approval and recovery targets, with 85 percent current capability and a 96 percent recovery goal by 1975, potentially forcing faster action or plant closure if unprofitable. The state wants recovery tied to smelter profitability. EPA involvement remains a factor.
