Summary

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is conducting a five-year review of the Galen Myers Dump/Drum Salvage Superfund site at 11303 Edison Road, St. Joseph County, Osceola, Ind. The Superfund law requires regular checkups of sites that have been cleaned up—with waste managed on-site—to make sure the cleanup continues to protect people and the environment. This is the sixth five-year review of this site.

EPA’s cleanup of contamination at the site included excavation and offsite disposal of contaminated soil and drums, provision of an alternate/public water supply to residents with contaminated wells, monitored natural attenuation of the groundwater, long-term monitoring, and limits on use of groundwater.

More information is available at the Mishawaka-Penn-Harris Public Library Reference Section, 209 Lincolnway East, Mishawaka, and at Galen Myer Dump website. The review should be completed by August 2025.
