Everett Smelter Cleanup Maps

Use the maps below to find out more information about properties inside the cleanup area, completed cleanups and planned cleanup activities.

Map #1. Overall site map The Everett Smelter cleanup area is called the Community Protection Boundary. It is broken into two cleanup areas, the Upland cleanup area and the Lowland cleanup area. Cleanup in the upland and lowland are managed as two separate cleanup areas although they are both funded through the Asarco settlement. The Legion Memorial Golf Course is not part of the upland cleanup and is being addressed independently by the City of Everett. It is not being funded through the Asarco settlement fund.
