EPA Superfund Site

KURT MANUFACTURING CO.

MN | EPA ID MND059680165

Human exposure is NOT currently under control

About this site’s exposure pathways: As of June 2025, the Kurt Manufacturing Co. Superfund site is considered "Current Human Exposure Not Under Control" because there is a complete exposure pathway of subsurface volatile organic compounds to air inside the Kurt Manufacturing building via vapor intrusion at concentrations above health-based levels. The building is an active manufacturing facility occupied by employees during business/manufacturing hours. The potentially responsible party - the Kurt Manufacturing Company - has installed a sub-slab vapor mitigation system designed to vent contaminated soil gas located beneath the building’s foundation slab to prevent any unacceptable intrusion of site contaminants into indoor air. The system is not achieving full suction pressure at several locations so Kurt is conducting additional sampling to verify if exposures are controlled, expected to be completed by June 2026. The company has sealed plumbing features (air breaks and floor drains), vented a sump to atmosphere, and is operating one ventilation system continuously.

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.
