The following table contains a list of companies currently permitted to manage and ultimately reclaim metallic mineral waste. Reclamation does not begin at these sites until mineral production is stopped, and mine closure begins.
Three of the metallic mineral mine sites are in closure at the present time.
- Teck American Inc., Magmont Mine-This mine stopped production in 1995. Teck American began reclamation of the surface effects of almost 30 years of lead mining, processing and waste disposal. In 2017, the Missouri Department of Natural Resources released 318 acres of the Magmont Mine from the permit, 53 acres remain permitted.
- The Doe Run Co., Herculaneum Smelter and Glover Smelter-Two of The Doe Run Co.’s slag storage areas at the former primary lead smelters are going through closure and being capped with soil material. Clean up and repurposing of these sites is in progress.
