lane street ground water contamination

LANE STREET AT COUNTY ROAD 106

The Lane Street Ground Water Contamination site is located at the edge of Elkhart, Indiana, on the northeast side. The area on Lane Street consists of only residential properties, and is bound to the north by County Road 106, to the east by Kershner Lane, to the south by other residential subdivisions, and to the west by farm land. The site includes a plume of contaminated groundwater from an unidentified source that extends toward the south from an industrial park, under County Road 6, to an area of homes located along Lane Street. The contamination includes trichloroethylene (TCE) and other chlorinated solvents at levels higher than what are considered safe. These contaminants were first discovered in August 2007 when a resident reported contamination in a private well water sample tested after unrelated contamination was discovered under an adjacent street. EPA proposed the site for inclusion on the National Priorities List (NPL) in April 2009. EPA finalized the site on the NPL on September 14, 2009. The NPL is a roster of the nation’s hazardous waste sites eligible for investigation and cleanup under the EPA Superfund Program. Site Responsibility State and federal actions are addressing the Site.
