Human exposure is under control

About this site’s exposure pathways: As of December 2023, the Armstrong World Industries site is currently considered "Human Exposure Not Under Control" because workers and trespassers could be exposed to contaminated soil and fish/sediment from Rocky Creek. Contaminants of concern include polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in creek sediment/fish and trichloroethylene (TCE) in groundwater. The public has been informed not to eat fish from Rocky Creek and signs are posted at Houston Road. However, people have been observed trespassing on site to fish in the creek. In September 2018, EPA finalized an agreement with the responsible parties to conduct the OU2 Remedial Investigation and Feasibility Study (OU2 RI/FS). RI field activities began in October 2019 and is expected to be completed in 2024. The RI will provide the necessary information about site contaminants to ensure that any potentially unacceptable risks to human health are addressed in the cleanup design. EPA has prepared a Community Involvement Plan, and provides updates and other information about the site with the community.
