A private developer, under oversight from EPA and UDEQ, has cleaned up the tree farm and vacant area north of Little Cottonwood Creek in 2006. The developer will clean up the area to the same levels used by EPA at the other residential properties. The developer is planning to create a residential community in the area. With the slump in the housing market there has been very little development in the area for the past few years. On our visit there were a couple of new homes and one just started to be built. The roadways are there but not much else. This area is planned to be a gated area so the additional parking coordinates are outside the gate to the subdivision development area. This area included the remains of three old smelters in the area of 3500 E. Little Cottonwood Lane (about 9800 South).
Site Aliases: Davenport Smelter, Hawkeye Smelter, McKay & Revolution Silver Mining Co.
