Site Updates

2008 Update

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, in consultation with Indiana Department of Environmental Management, is reviewing the MIDCO I and MIDCO II Superfund sites to ensure the cleanup continues to protect people and the environment. The Superfund law requires reviews at least every five years at sites where the cleanup is complete but waste remains managed on-site.

EPA will evaluate site documents, results of periodic inspections and ground-water testing. Should we find any areas of potential concern, we will work with the companies responsible for the cleanup to fix them. EPA will issue a report on the five-year reviews by December 31.

This is the third five-year review for these sites.

EPA encourages public comment. Written comments should be postmarked no later than November 28, 2008.
