Exposure status: insufficient data

About this site’s exposure pathways: As of December 2024, there is insufficient information to determine the site-wide Human Exposure Control status at the Schroud Property Superfund Site. Soil and waste at the property and in nearby Indian Creek are contaminated with lead, chromium and other inorganic compounds. People may be directly exposed to these contaminants due to heavy recreational use of the site by trespassers. The planned activities to address this exposure pathway include installing fencing, signs, and a fish advisory for Indian Creek by the end of 2024. Potential actions to address unacceptable risk at the site will be evaluated as part of the Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study, which is expected to be completed in September 2027 at which time there is expected to be sufficient information to determine the human exposure under control status. EPA prepared a Community Involvement Plan in August 2020, which is made available at the site repository or online at https://semspub.epa.gov/work/05/960558.pdf.

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.
