The [[Central Interstate Low Level Radioactive Waste Compact]] and US Ecology purchased land two miles west of Butte in the early 1990s. The land was to become the site of the compact's dump; however, following extensive controversy, the dump was eventually removed from consideration. Nebraska was officially removed from the compact after a series of long court battles that ended in 2004. The state of Nebraska had to pay a settlement and there have been attempts made to sell the compact's land just outside Butte.<ref>http://www.cillrwcc.com{{dead link|date=March 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>
