Description | Soil in the upper Columbia River valley of Stevens County, Washington, may contain unnaturally high levels of metals, including lead and arsenic. Metal ore smelting during the last century emitted metal particles into the atmosphere and broadly dispersed them across this area. Potential buyers have the right to know about possible hazards in their environment, and sellers and realtors are required to disclose information about properties. | ||||||
