Spokane River Metals
Island Complex and Murray Road

SITE DESCRIPTION

Historic mining practices in the Coeur d’Alene basin resulted in lead, arsenic, zinc, and cadmium contamination of certain shoreline areas along the Spokane River.  These contaminants known as heavy metals washed downstream from Idaho and settled in soil and sediments of the river.  

Following the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) study of contaminants in the Coeur d’Alene basin, nine recreational shoreline areas in Washington were identified as needing cleanup.  Ecology and EPA completed cleanup of metals contamination at Starr Road in 2006.  Ecology proposes to clean up two more sites known as Island Complex and Murray Road by early fall 2007.  The remaining shoreline areas are scheduled for cleanup in the near future.
