During the summer of 2023, the Residential Metals Abatement Program will clean-up eight Butte-area parks. The clean-up work is the result of sampling performed in 2022. Playgrounds and play areas have been sampled to determine if lead, arsenic, or mercury exceeding local action levels are present. All areas where kids play, such as around jungle gyms, swing sets, play structures, baseball diamonds, and soccer fields, were evaluated using residential action levels. For more information on the parks where clean-up will take place, and details on the work that will occur at each location please follow the hyperlinks below.
