Spring Park Municipal Well Field NPL Site

The Spring Park Municipal Well Field Site is on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) Superfund program’s National Priorities List (NPL). It is on the list to investigate and address the possible sources of the chemical trichloroethylene (TCE) that contaminated groundwater in two out of three wells that make up the city municipal water supply. Currently, a water treatment plant reduces TCE in drinking water and protects the health of Spring Park water users.

U.S. EPA began a groundwater investigation in 2023 and is continuing it in 2024 to help determine the source of the contamination. TCE is a common solvent that may have been used at several manufacturing or commercial properties in Spring Park. In fact, TCE has been found in the shallow groundwater and in soil vapor at properties in Spring Park.

The Health Consultation (HC) reviews all available environmental data and any potential routes of exposure related to known soil vapor and groundwater contamination in Spring Park. The HC identifies recommendations to protect public health.
