Evacuation orders in a small southwest Montana town have been lifted after the cleanup of potentially explosive chemicals.
Norris, located about 35 miles west of Bozeman, was temporarily evacuated after Environmental Protection Agency officials say hazardous chemicals posed a threat to the public.
The Madison County Sheriff's Office briefly shut down roads leading to Norris Labs, where the chemicals were found.
Officials say they were able to remove the chemicals from the building but said it could have been much worse.
Nearby businesses and residents were evacuated as a precaution.
EPA officials said they have been working at the lab since Tuesday, because the state didn't believe the owner of the facility had the resources to get rid of the hazardous chemicals.
