Study Site Location: In the vicinity of Del Norte, Colorado.

Reclamation at the Summitville Superfund Site Faculty and staff in the REL have been working at the Summitville Mine Site for over 10 years. Our initial work was to produce a successful and executable design for the reclamation of the Summitville Mine Superfund Site. This objective was met by evaluating site characteristics followed by greenhouse and field studies to identify appropriate plant species and soil treatment combinations that would produce a productive and self-sustaining plant community. These studies resulted in the formulation of a plan for site wide reclamation. The REL last conducted monitoring at the Summitville mine site in 2009.
