About the Superfund Redevelopment Program
Superfund Redevelopment works with communities to provide site-specific reuse support and help return Superfund sites to productive use. Learn more at Superfund Redevelopment Program and view reuse updates from this site and others around the country.
Redevelopment at the Site
Montana’s Copperway trails run through the site, linking together historic preservation sites in Butte and Walkerville. The community park on the site features a sports complex with baseball fields, a driving range and volleyball court, walking trails with interpretive signs and stations, public restrooms, and picnic areas.
Restoration efforts also recognize the area’s history. The Butte Hill Trail walking path reuses an abandoned railroad bed. The Granite Mountain Memorial area memorializes the 2,500 men who died in Butte area mines. Historical preservation of Butte’s mining legacy is evident throughout town with interpretive signage.
Restored wetlands now serve as a key habitat for osprey and migrating Canada geese.
Additional resources for redevelopment at the Site can be viewed on the Superfund Sites in Reuse Page.
