Highway 36 / Triangle Lake Exposure Investigation
In coordination with several state and federal agencies, EHAP is conducting an exposure investigation to determine if and how people living in the Triangle Lake/ Highway 36 area of the coastal mountain range are being exposed to herbicides from current forest practices.
Black Butte Mine
EHAP has just released a Public Health Assessment (PHA) on Black Butte Mine, a former mercury mine located near Cottage Grove, OR.
- Black Butte Mine was listed on the Environmental Protection Agency's Superfund program's National Priority List (NPL) in 2010, which triggered EHAP's involvement. EHAP is mandated to conduct a PHA for all Superfund sites in Oregon, and has now completed an evaluation of the human health risks from this abandoned mercury mine.
- The report was released on April 25, 2012, and is open for public comment until July 23, 2012. Read the report and get more information on Black Butte Mine.
