Arbiter Plant, and the "Smelter Hill" investigation. 



As part of the total RI , the Center for Disease Control 

 conducted a urinary arsenic study in the Anaconda area. This 

 study determined that children residing in the small commun- 

 ity of Mill Creek have elevated urinary arsenic levels. The 

 AMC and EPA are proceeding with plans to minimize or elimin- 

 ate sources of contamination in the Mill Creek area as a 

 first step in the total corrective action at the site. 

 (Other reclamation efforts will proceed following completion 

 of the RI/FS. ) 



FUTURE ACTIVITIES ; Some of the focused remedial investiga- 

 tions, such as the beryllium disposal areas and the flue dust 

 disposal and/or storage areas, will be completed in early 

 1986. Others are not scheduled to be completed until later 

 in the year. The RI at Smelter Hill must wait until demoli- 

 tion by the Cleveland Wrecking Company is complete. Feas- 

 ibility studies which will develop actual alternative 

 solutions for clean up, will begin upon completion of the 

 remedial investigations.
