Cotter Corporation Cañon City Uranium Mill Site Summary 

Cotter Uranium Mill/Lincoln Park Superfund Site Site Area Map  

Why a Road Map?   The landscape of how the Lincoln Park Cotter Uranium Mill Superfund Site will be cleaned up changed when the Cotter Corporation decided to terminate their Radioactive Materials License in December 2011. The License, issued by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, is still in effect and provides conditions for its termination. Since Cotter will no longer operate under the existing license, access to the entire Cotter property for additional environmental study is now possible. This allows regulators the opportunity to better understand historical contamination on and off Cotter property. The purpose of the Road Map is to describe the manner in which the State of Colorado (State), the Cotter Corporation (Cotter), and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region 8 (EPA) will work together to ensure that all cleanup tasks at the Lincoln Park Cotter Uranium Mill Superfund Site meet the requirements of: the Consent Decree/Remedial Action Plan (Remedial Action Plan),  Cotter’s operating license, and the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA or Superfund).       The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment and U.S. EPA Region 8 have revised the following Road Map documents.  The agencies will revisit and update these documents as needed.    March 25, 2013     Road Map Narrative   Table 1: Road Map Conceptual Approach    Table 2: Detailed Road Map   State/EPA Response to Comments on Draft Road Map   Cotter Uranium Mill/Lincoln Park Superfund Site Site Area Map
