Right--The Colorado Tailings at Butte, Montana, contain toxic heavy metals that contaminate ground water and the adjacent Silver Bow Creek, in the headwaters of the Clark Fork River. These tailings contribute to a complicated, persistent, and serious pollution problem in the upper river. (See "Hydrogeology of the Colorado Tailings" by Ted Duaime and others.)
Left--The Clark Fork River 20 miles east of Missoula, Montana appears serene and uncontaminated to the casual eye. However, toxic heavy metals from the Butte-Anaconda area have pervaded much of lower Clark Fork and are a perplexing problem. (See papers by Rice and Ray; Johns and Moore; and Phillips.)
