ELM STREET AND HIGHWAY 41
The 18.5-acre Elm Street Groundwater Contamination ("Elm Street") site is located in Terre Haute, Vigo County, Indiana. The site is roughly bounded by Locust Street to the north, North 3rd Street (U.S. Highway 41) to the east, railroad tracks to the south, and the Wabash River to the west. Surrounding land uses include an apartment complex and open/recreational land to the north, commercial and residential property to the east, commercial and industrial property to the south, and the Indiana American Water Company to the west. In the 1980s, several wells in Terre Haute's Elm Street municipal well field were found to have volatile organic compound (VOC) contaminants in them. The Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) identified three potential source areas for the VOC contamination through the site assessment process. The potential source areas include (1) the Gurman Container and Supply ("Gurman") property located at 800 North 3rd Street, (2) the Ashland (formerly known as BiState Products) property located at 118 Elm Street, and (3) the Machine Tool Service (MTS) property located at 701 North 1st Street. EPA placed the Elm Street site on the National Priorities List (NPL) on March 7, 2007.
