EPA Superfund site
TEN-MILE DRAIN
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 Ten-Mile Drain site is considered "Current Human Exposure Not Under Control" (HENC) because the fish in the Lange and Revere Street canals are contaminated with PCBs that exceed the HI threshold for fish consumption by recreational anglers and target risk range for both adult and children’s receptors. In May 2011, the State Health Department issued a "do not eat" fish taken from the Lange and Revere Street canals and posted advisory signs. As of December 2025, EPA has observed ice-fishing and believes the fish are being consumed. In September 2018, EPA issued a near-surface soils cleanup plan and between 2024-2025 remediated 56 properties. In March 2026, EPA started the five-year review process and plans to coordinate with the State to develop a communication strategy surrounding the fish advisories. In 2028, EPA plans to issue a cleanup plan to address the PCB-contaminated sediment in the Lange and Revere Street canals and reduce PCB concentrations in fish tissue. Human exposures at the site are expected to be under control by February 2035, after the implementation of this remedy and monitoring data indicates fish tissue concentrations have decreased.
