EPA Superfund site
BAUTSCH-GRAY MINE
Human exposure is NOT currently under control
Data limitations: Proximity to a Superfund site boundary does not mean your property is contaminated. EPA site boundaries show the area designated for cleanup, not the full extent of contamination. Groundwater plumes can extend beyond site boundaries. This tool shows publicly available EPA federal data. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by EPA, and is not a substitute for a professional environmental assessment.
About this site's exposure pathways
As of September 2026, the Bautsch-Gray Mine Superfund site is considered “Current Human Exposures Not Under Control” (HENC) because construction workers, utility workers, trespassers, and recreational users can be exposed through direct contact with arsenic- and lead-contaminated soils above cleanup criteria. Soil concentrations exceed site cleanup criteria based on the risk assessment. EPA began addressing direct contact exposures on off-site properties through a series of removal actions completed between 2009 and 2012. EPA is conducting site security and stability remedial actions. Remedial design is underway, and EPA expects to complete remedial action for the source areas by December 2030. At that time, EPA expects human exposures to be under control because the source area cleanup will reduce direct contact risks. EPA will continue public outreach, including fact sheets and meetings, as cleanup progresses at the site. Individuals visiting the site should follow access restrictions.
