The VCP consists of the May 15, 2018 Environmental Assessment and the March 13, 2023 Remediation Proposal. DEQ is soliciting public comment on these documents. The public comment period will begin on March 29, 2023 and comments must be received in the DEQ office by 11:59 p.m. MDT on April 28, 2023.

The VCP characterizes the environmental contamination problems at the facility and describes the proposed cleanup remedy for contaminated soil from historic Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul, and Pacific Railroad operations on property within the facility that is owned by Powell County. The proposed remedy consists of excavating contaminated soils and off-site disposal at a permitted landfill, and institutional controls to limit some uses.
