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.

About this site's exposure pathways
As of April 2026, the Jackson Ceramix, Inc. site is designated Current Human Exposure Not Under Control (HENC). Based on the Final Remedial Investigation Report, unacceptable risks to current recreational users in portions of the site are due primarily to lead in subsurface soil, surface soil, sediments, and surface water. The Operable Unit (OU) 1 ROD was signed in 2021. The OU1 Record of Decision’s (ROD) selected remedy is broken down into two phases. Phase 1 is to perform in situ Thermal Remediation of Chlorinated Volatile Organic Compounds (CVOC)-contaminated soil and Dense Nonaqueous Phase Liquids (DNAPL). Phase 2 is to perform a combination of excavation and offsite disposal of soils and sediment contaminated with lead, as well as the addition of amendments in the form of in situ stabilization to reduce the toxicity of lead in the environment. Institutional Controls will be used for both OU1 Phases to reduce or eliminate current exposure pathways. The Remedial Designs are complete for OU1. Remedial Actions for OU1 are ongoing. Phase 1 is expected to be completed by September 2026 and Phase 2 is expected to be completed by August 2028. The OU2 Interim ROD was signed in 2023. The OU2’s selected remedy is to perform excavation and dredging of soils and sediments contaminated with lead, offsite disposal, and restoration of wetlands. The OU2 remedial design is complete and interim remedial action is ongoing and expected to be completed by October 2028. EPA will be preparing an updated RI/FS for the final OU2 ROD. The final OU2 ROD and implemented remedy is expected to be completed by 2030. Institutional Controls will be used for OU2 to reduce or eliminate current exposure pathways. Human Exposure Under Control will not be in place until the final OU2 ROD is implemented.
