Key Dates

The City received DEQ approval of the Voluntary Cleanup Plan on March 27, 2024. Fieldwork is now being initiated and will be completed within 18 months or less. See DEQ's approval letter here. 

(Anticipated Completion Date) The preferred remedy for the MRL Park includes placement of restrictive covenants (institutional controls or ICs) that limit the use of the MRL Park to recreational land use. The restrictive covenants prohibit anything but recreational use of the MRL Park to ensure all future use remains recreational. The ICs, when combined with the remedial soil cleanup that has previously been conducted at the MRL Park in 2018, ensure protectiveness for all users of the park. Once the restrictive covenants are approved, they will be recorded with the County of Missoula Clerk and Treasurer's Office and included as part of any subsequent property transfer. 

(Anticipated Completion Date) The cleanup plan includes minor excavation of soil in the base of Stormdrain SD-3 using a vacuum truck, then disposal of the removed soil at the Republic Landfill in Missoula.
