EPA Superfund Site

PRESTOLITE BATTERY DIVISION

IN | EPA ID IND006377048

Human exposure is under control

About this site’s exposure pathways: There is not sufficient information available to determine the site-wide Human Exposure Control status at the Prestolite Battery Site because of a newly identified exposure pathway. There is a potential exposure to vapor intrusion in two homes adjacent to the site based on groundwater concentrations of trichloroethene (TCE). This determination was made as part of a five-year review using the U.S. EPA default values in the 2002 U.S. EPA draft vapor intrusion guidance.

The PRPs completed indoor air sampling and submitted a report to EPA in March 2011. The results of the modeling and sampling are currently being reviewed by the Agency, and will determine if unacceptable exposures via vapor intrusion are present at the site. This review will be completed in 2011 and incorporated into the scheduled Five-Year Review for the site.

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.
