EPA Superfund Site

GEORGETOWN NORTH GROUNDWATER

DE | EPA ID DEN000304167

Exposure status: insufficient data

About this site’s exposure pathways: As of April 2025, there is insufficient information to determine the Sitewide Human Exposure Control status at Georgetown North Groundwater Superfund Site. The Site was finalized to the National Priorities List (NPL) in September 2022, and there has been no evaluation of the human health exposure indication yet. Remedial investigation activities on Site are ongoing and will result in data collection to support a human health risk assessment. While the nature and extent of sitewide contamination is undergoing investigation, the Town of Georgetown has installed an air stripper treatment system to mitigate known groundwater volatile organic compounds (VOCs) contamination impacting the town’s public supply wells. Sufficient data to make a human exposure status determination is anticipated by September 2027 following the collection of additional data and completion of the human health risk assessment.

Data limitations: Proximity to a Superfund site boundary does not mean your property is contaminated. EPA site boundaries show the area designated for cleanup, not the full extent of contamination. Groundwater plumes can extend beyond site boundaries. This tool shows publicly available EPA federal data.
