WAITE PARK WELLS

MN | EPA ID MND981002249

Exposure status: insufficient data

About this site’s exposure pathways: As of June 2025, there is not sufficient information to determine the site-wide Human Exposure Control status at the Waite Park Wells Superfund site. In February 2022, the Minnesota Department of Health sampled for and found per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) present at the Waite Park municipal wells. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is working to gather additional data to determine if the PFAS detected at the wells is related to the Waite Park Wells Superfund Site and to evaluate if it presents a risk to the community. Informational mailings and meetings are used to keep the public informed of potential site risks and site cleanup progress. Sufficient information to determine the Human Exposure Control status is expected by November 2027.
