The Davenport and Flagstaff site is located about 15 miles southeast of Salt Lake City, Utah, in a mostly residential and commercial area at the mouth of Little Cottonwood Canyon. It is east of the town of Sandy, in an unincorporated area of Salt Lake County. The area includes the remains of three former smelters. In the late 1800s, they were called the Davenport and the McKay. The Flagstaff smelter was located less than a quarter mile to the north, near 9500 South Wasatch Boulevard, on the north side of Little Cottonwood Creek. In 1992, the EPA conducted on-site soil analyses and found high levels of lead and arsenic. To further define the extent of contamination, more sampling was done in the area in 1994, 1996, 1998 and 2001. The EPA proposed the site for its National Priorities List in December 2000.
