Threats and Contaminants
Groundwater, sediments, surface water, and soils contain heavy metals such as arsenic, beryllium, cadmium, and silver; volatile organic compounds (VOCs) include methylene chloride and chloroform, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and the pesticide, DDT. The soils are also contaminated with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), phthalates, and heavy metals. People who come into direct contact with or accidentally ingest contaminated groundwater, soil, surface water, or sediments may be at risk.
Cleanup Progress
All work at this site was performed with federal funds. A final cleanup decision was reached in September 1996. The site was fenced to limit access in 1986. Site soils and sediments were covered with clean soil, and the site was reseeded with prairie grasses. This action was completed in 1990. A drinking water line extension was constructed in 1994 that allows for 50 additional connections. Thirty-two locations have already connected to it. The State of Indiana is currently securing deed restrictions, monitoring the groundwater, and maintaining the soil cover. A five-year review , dated January 18, 1996, which U.S. EPA concurred with on March 26, 1996, concludes that the remedy remains protective of human health and the environment. A second five-year review for the site was completed in September 2001 and confirmed that the remedy remains protective of human health and the environment.
