About Butte CTEC
Information, guidance, and public engagement support for the Butte-Area Superfund cleanup.
Citizens Technical Environmental Committee (CTEC)
The Citizens Technical Environmental Committee (CTEC) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit formed in 1990 under the Superfund law to assist Butte-area communities in understanding complex environmental issues. CTEC hosts monthly public meetings, sometimes at project sites, and actively participates in engineering design reviews and the Medical Monitoring Working Group addressing local health risks. Funded by the EPA, its work is carried out by a consultant and administrator, with board members serving as volunteers.
Our Mission
Butte CTEC empowers members of the community affected by Superfund cleanup to engage effectively in cleanup decisions, by enhancing their understanding of local Superfund issues, and by advocating for solutions that benefit the community through engagement with involved stakeholders.
Our Vision
Butte CTEC envisions its role in the affected community as being supportive, responsive, and broadly helpful to groups and individuals in their dealings with Superfund issues, in which that role helps residents to understand those issues sufficiently to navigate and meaningfully address the region’s Superfund environmental challenges.
