A $9.8 million consent decree for the cleanup of contamination at the Lane Street Ground Water Contamination Superfund Site in Elkhart, Indiana, was agreed to by Flexsteel Industries Inc. In addition, Flexsteel Industries Inc. will reimburse the EPA for a portion of its past costs incurred at the Lane Street Site.
The Superfund Site is approximately 65 acres of residential and light industrial properties in Elkhart, Indiana, impacted by a groundwater plume. Contamination at the Superfund Site includes solvents and degreasers such as trichloroethene and tetrachloroethene. “This is an excellent settlement that funds necessary cleanup of a contaminated groundwater plume in Elkhart, Indiana,” said U.S. Attorney Clifford Johnson for the Northern District of Indiana.
