Background
The Cedar Creek site is in a suburban residential area in southeastern Wisconsin north of Milwaukee in the historic city and township of Cedarburg (Ozaukee County). The entire site consists of Mercury Marine’s Plant 2, the former Amcast facility, and the segment of Cedar Creek from below the Ruck Pond dam to the point where it meets the Milwaukee River. This segment includes open stretches of creek as well as areas known as Columbia Pond, Wire and Nail Pond, and the former Hamilton Pond for a total of 5.1 creek miles. The Milwaukee River is currently not part of the Cedar Creek site and is under the jurisdiction of the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. For EPA to address the contamination in the Milwaukee River, WDNR needs to propose and list it under the agency's National Priorities List as a separate Superfund site. Or, WDNR could work on the river under its own Natural Resources Trustee 
authority.
PCBs from two local companies have contaminated Cedar Creek, the Plant 2 property, the former Amcast property, and some private properties near Amcast. (more... )

What are PCBs?
PCBs, polychlorinated biphenyls, are toxic chemicals that were once widely used as industrial coolants, insulators and lubricants. PCBs can concentrate in the environment and the food chain, resulting in health hazards to people, fish and wildlife. Because of these dangers, the U.S. government banned the manufacture of new PCBs in 1976. PCBs still in use are strictly regulated.
