jacobsville neighborhood soil contamination

MAIN AND ILLINOIS

The Jacobsville Neighborhood Soil Contamination (Jacobsville) Superfund site is located in Evansville, Indiana. Over time, soil had become contaminated with lead and arsenic due to emissions from former facilities in the area. Operations of some of these companies date back as far as the 1880s, but all had ceased operating by the 1950s. The site is divided into two phases, or "operable units" (OUs), and encompasses a larger area than just the Jacobsville neighborhood in Evansville. The first operable unit (OU1) encompasses about 141 acres, includes approximately 500 residential properties, and is roughly bounded by the Lloyd Expressway to the south, Mary Street to the west, Iowa Street to the north, and Elliot Street to the east. OU1 is also the location of the former facilities that are thought to be the sources of the lead and arsenic emissions. OU2 extends outward from OU1 and covers approximately 4.5 square miles and several thousand residential properties. EPA placed the Jacobsville site on the Superfund National Priorities List (NPL) on July 22, 2004. Site Responsibility The Jacobsville Neighborhood Soil Contamination site is being addressed through federal and state actions.
