Anaconda sits at the center of one of the largest Superfund cleanup sites in the United States, the result of over a century of copper smelting operations. Arsenic, lead, and other heavy metals contaminate soils across a wide area surrounding the former Anaconda Smelter stack — a 585-foot structure that still stands as a state park. Wildfire risk from surrounding mountain terrain adds a secondary hazard.
