Free Carson River Mercury Site yard sampling and cleanup
Summary
Homeowners in Silver City can still get their yards tested free for mercury, arsenic and lead from the historic Carson River Mercury Site, and get free cleanup if levels are too high. But the EPA program is closing out, so the window to sign up is narrowing.
