In November 2007, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and two Vermont state agencies began the cleanup and removal of asbestos at the Vermont Asbestos Group Mine site located near the towns of Eden and Lowell. The asbestos at the site had been leaching into area wetlands.

The Vermont Agency of Natural Resources (ANR) began to investigate the problems in 2004. In addition, the Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) conducted biological and chemical assessments of eleven locations at the site.

The measures the EPA was to undertake included rerouting surface water flow to avoid the tailings piles, channeling contaminated flow to on-site surface water retention areas to allow for deposition of fibers, and reinforcing and/or constructing berms to reduce the off-site movement of tailings.
