Cody has considerable experience working within the Bunker Hill Superfund Site. He grew up in that area and he developed a passion for environmental remediation and an appreciation for seeing the direct impact of his work. He is engaged in many projects around the Pacific Northwest extending MFA’s reach well beyond its office in Kellogg, Idaho. Cody is excited to have a positive impact, whether it’s in his backyard or yours!  

A favorite project and why?  

My favorite project to have been involved with thus far is the East Fork Ninemile Creek Waste Consolidation Area (EFNM WCA), a project associated with the Bunker Hill Superfund Site in Northern Idaho. Through most of the 1900s, mine waste rock and tailings were piled on the mountainsides and spread into the rivers and streams of the Upper Basin of the Coeur d’Alene River. This practice allowed metals to leach into the surrounding soils and waterways resulting in negative impacts to the environment and to biological receptors. The Waste Consolidation Area was developed to isolate impacted sediment from entering environmental modes of transport. 

I have been involved since the first site investigations where I walked through the forests of my childhood. I was engaged from the first steps of hydrologic calculations, planning for the increased intensity of rain-on-snow events expected over the next century, all the way to the initial capping of the project, isolating the consolidated wastes from doing more harm. 

It has been extremely rewarding to see this work implemented and to be able to show the hard data confirming that metal levels in the remediation areas are matching background levels.
