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. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by EPA, and is not a substitute for a professional environmental assessment.

About this site's exposure pathways

As of May 2026, the Estech General Chemical Company Superfund site is considered ‘Insufficient Data to make a Human Exposure evaluation’ (HEID). The United States Environmental Protection Agency initiated the remedial investigation at the site at the end of 2019, which is ongoing. Currently, the Human Health Risk Assessment and Screening Level Environmental Risk Assessment are under EPA review. EPA currently anticipates there will be sufficient data to make a Human Exposure determination by Fall 2026 because the RI report and risk assessments will be complete by then. Currently, EPA suspects that contamination exists in site media including soils, sediments, and surface waters. This does not necessarily mean that unacceptable exposures are occurring, however. Out of an abundance of caution, if you live near this site exposure risk can be reduced by avoiding entering the Site.
