The Silver Bow Creek project is a large, multi-year, Superfund cleanup project administered by Montana Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ). Silver Bow Creek originates in Butte, Montana, and flows approximately 24 miles through Silver Bow and Deer Lodge Counties to the Warm Springs Ponds to become one of the tributaries to the Clark Fork River.
The remedial action activities for the Streamside Tailings Operable Unit (SST OU) project include excavation of ~4 million cubic yards of mine tailings distributed over 1,600 acres of floodplain along a 24-mile long reach of the creek.
