Bunkerhill Superfund Site

Once one of the largest contaminated sites in the U.S., the Bunker Hill Superfund Site is undergoing a major environmental transformation. Decades of industrial activity left behind heavy metal contamination, impacting soil, water, and wildlife. Through a comprehensive remediation effort, this site is being restored into a safer, healthier ecosystem.

The Challenge: Decades of Industrial Pollution

Bunker Hill’s history of mining and smelting operations resulted in widespread lead, arsenic, and heavy metal contamination. The scale of pollution required a long-term, strategic approach to environmental recovery.

A Focus on Sustainable Remediation

Efforts at the site include:

• Soil and water treatment to remove hazardous contaminants

• Revegetation initiatives to restore natural landscapes

• Ecosystem monitoring to ensure long-term recovery

By applying advanced remediation techniques, the project aims to stabilize the environment while minimizing disruption to local communities.

A Future of Renewal

Once a site of industrial degradation, Bunker Hill is now a model for environmental restoration. Through careful remediation, the area is being transformed into a safe and thriving ecosystem, ensuring a healthier future for both people and wildlife.
