ANAPRA, N.M. (AP) — A copper company has begun cleaning up lead and arsenic contamination in the soil around the community of Anapra on the New Mexico-Texas border at the request of the state Environmental Department.

The department said soil was contaminated by the Asarco copper smelter mill in nearby El Paso, Texas.

The $200,000 project, expected to be completed by the end of August, involves removing up to two feet of contaminated soils from yards, backfilling the yards with clean dirt, then landscaping.
