Coeur d'Alene Basin Interim Restoration Plan
Beginning in the early 1990s, the Departments of the Interior and Agriculture, and the Coeur d’Alene Indian Tribe (Trustees), initiated a CERCLA (Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980) Natural Resource Damage Assessment to assess and quantify the scope of injuries to natural resources resulting from exposure to mining-related metals contamination in the Coeur d’Alene Basin (Basin) and to quantify the amount of damages to restore, replace, and/or acquire the equivalent of such injured resources.
The Trustees’ Draft Interim Restoration Plan identifies restoration
alternatives for addressing mining-related natural resource injuries in the Coeur d’Alene
River Basin (Basin), and to provide the public notice and opportunity to comment on
those alternatives during a thirty-day comment period that will begin on June 19, 2006
and end on July 18, 2006.
You may view a news release and the Draft Interim Restoration Plan under "Hot Topics" at www.fws.gov/easternwashington.
McArthur Lake Wildlife Corridor
The McArthur Lake area is a key corridor for wildlife between the Selkirk, Purcell, and Cabinet Mountains in north Idaho. It also hosts a major U.S. Highway and two international railroad lines. The result is a hazardous situation for both people and wildlife. The Forest Service and other landowners in the area are working on solutions to reduce the hazards.
Carpenter Gulch Stream Restoration
