Exposure status: insufficient data

About this site’s exposure pathways: As of August 2025, there is insufficient data to determine the site-wide Human Exposure Control status at the North Shore Drive Superfund site. EPA initiated the RI/FS in July 2017 and it is expected to be completed by December 2025. Contamination at the site was discovered when a concerned citizen contacted the Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) in 1996 with complaints of skin irritation caused by water drawn from a private well. IDEM obtained 19 drinking water samples from residential wells and six subsurface soil samples from nearby properties. Volatile organic compounds, including tetrachloroethylene, trichloroethylene and dichloroethylene were found in the residential well samples. IDEM currently provides point-of-entry carbon filters to the residential homes with wells that had contamination approaching or exceeding the MCLs.

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.
