EPA Superfund Site

FEDERATED METALS CORP WHITING

IN | EPA ID IND005444104

Human exposure is NOT currently under control

About this site’s exposure pathways: As of November 2024, the Federated Metals Corp. Whiting Superfund site is considered “Current Human Exposure Not Under Control” because residents may have direct contact with surface soil with lead concentrations greater than the 100-parts per million (ppm) screening level, with some properties exceeding 2000 ppm. The planned activities to address this pathway are to develop and implement an interim remedy that would remove contaminated soil from residential properties with existing data and to expedite sampling on properties with sensitive populations present. EPA currently anticipates that human exposure will be under control by the end of December 2029 when these planned activities are expected to be completed.
