DEQ Releases Record of Decision for Final Cleanup of the Missoula White Pine Sash State Superfund Facility
Missoula White Pine Sash
“The Missoula White Pine Sash (MWPS) facility is an approximately 40-acre property located at 1301 Scott Street at the intersection of Scott and Stoddard Streets on Missoula’s north side. The Montana Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) determined that Huttig Building Products, Inc. (Huttig) is liable for remediation of the MWPS Facility. MWPS was a precision wood, window and door component manufacturing facility which operated from the 1920s through 1996. From the mid-1930s until 1987, milled wood products were dipped into mixtures of pentachlorophenol (PCP) and petroleum products. Some of these mixtures were released into the environment, contaminating soil and groundwater with PCP, petroleum hydrocarbons, and dioxins/furans. The MWPS Facility has been the subject of many investigations, treatability studies, and interim cleanup efforts since 1993. The purpose of these activities has been to determine the nature and extent of contamination, cleanup portions of the facility to protect human health and the environment, and allow for redevelopment.”
