EPA Superfund site
SCHROUD PROPERTY
Exposure status: insufficient data
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 June 2026, the Schroud Property Superfund site is considered “Insufficient Data to make a Human Exposure evaluation” (HEID). Schroud Property was finalized on the National Priorities List on November 8, 2019. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) uses this status when there is insufficient evidence to determine whether actual or reasonably anticipated human exposures are occurring, and whether those exposures are above acceptable risk-based levels. Key data gaps include soil and waste characterization along the site perimeter, delineation of sediment and surface water contamination in Indian Creek, and completion of a Human Health Risk Assessment (HHRA).
The planned activities to collect sufficient information to make a human exposure evaluation include a Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study (RI/FS) with an HHRA. EPA will gather additional soil and waste samples on and along the site perimeter and sample sediment and surface water in Indian Creek. The HHRA will evaluate trespasser and recreational contact with soil, waste, sediment, and surface water, and fish-consumption exposures. EPA currently anticipates that there will be sufficient data to make a Human Exposure determination by March 2029, based on completing field sampling in 2027, validating results by early 2028, and finalizing the HHRA as part of the RI/FS.
Currently, EPA suspects that lead, manganese, chromium, and other contaminants are migrating off-site to areas along the site perimeter, including Indian Creek. This does not necessarily mean that unacceptable exposures are occurring, however. Out of an abundance of caution, avoid trespassing on the property, avoid contact with visible waste and creek sediment, and follow posted fish-consumption advisories for Indian Creek and Wolf Lake.
