EPA Superfund site
LUSHER STREET GROUND WATER CONTAMINATION
Human exposure is NOT currently under control
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 Lusher Street Ground Water Contamination Superfund Site is considered “Current Human
Exposure Not Under Control” (HENC) because there is evidence of a complete exposure pathway for 1,1,1-
tricloroethane, chloroform, vinyl chloride, and benzene caused by vapor intrusion (VI). This inhalation
exposure from indoor air is unacceptable because observed concentrations exceed the EPA’s acceptable risk
range. As of June 2026, planned actions to address this pathway include continued public outreach and
subsequent installation at additional properties. Current human exposures are expected to be under control
by the end of December 2027.
