EPA Superfund site
WAUSAU GROUND WATER CONTAMINATION
Exposure status: insufficient data
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.
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.
