The Coeur d’Alene Basin and Silver Valley is a region known for recreational opportunities and mining. Mining and milling operations started in the mid 1880s and left behind lead and other metal contamination throughout the area. This contamination led to the creation of the Bunker Hill Superfund Site extending from the Idaho-Montana boarder and into portions of eastern Washington.

Lead and other heavy metals still exist and can pose a health risk. The Institutional Controls Program (ICP) and Lead Health Intervention Program (LHIP) for the Bunker Hill Superfund Site offer several services and resources, free of charge to users, to help residents protect their health and maintain barriers over contaminated soil.
