EPA Superfund Site

WAUSAU GROUND WATER CONTAMINATION

WI | EPA ID WID980993521

Exposure status: insufficient data

About this site’s exposure pathways: As of April 2025, there is not sufficient information available to determine the site-wide Human Exposure Control status at the Wausau Ground Water Superfund Site. The Environmental Protection Agency has completed vapor intrusion (VI) investigations on both the East and West Banks to determine the risk posed by volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as trichloroethylene (TCE) at the Site. However, further investigations need to occur to fully understand the possible risks to human health and the environment at the Site. Preferential pathways investigations were conducted on the East Bank as well.

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.
