Human exposure is NOT currently under control

About this site’s exposure pathways: As of April 2025, the Jackson Ceramix, Inc. site is currently designated Human Exposure Not Under Control. 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 OU1 ROD was signed in 2021. The OU1 ROD’s selected remedy is to perform a combination of excavation and 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 and the use of Institutional Controls will reduce or eliminate current exposure pathways. Additionally, thermal remediation will treat a CVOC source area in OU1. The Remedial Designs are complete for OU1 and Remedial Actions for OU1 are ongoing and expected to be completed by December 2025.

The OU2 Interim ROD was signed in 2023. The OU2 remedial design is complete and remedial action is ongoing and expected to be completed in 2026.
