EPA removing portion of Jackson Ceramix Site from list of nation’s most
contaminated sites
PHILADELPHIA (August 16, 2023) – The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) has deleted an eight-acre portion of the Jackson Ceramix Superfund Site
from the National Priorities List (NPL). The NPL is a list of the nation’s
most contaminated hazardous sites. Portions of sites can be removed from the
NPL after investigations conclude that no further action is needed to address
public health.
The Jackson Ceramix Superfund Site is approximately 233 acres in both
Jefferson and Clearfield Counties, Pennsylvania. EPA added the Site to the NPL
in 2005 to address contamination from a former facility that manufactured
china from 1917 to 1985. The portion of the Site removed from the NPL is known
as the Baseball Field Area, located wholly in Jefferson County. It was
initially identified as an area of concern because evidence suggested that
china was buried in or near this portion during facility operations. However,
after conducting a remedial investigation of the Baseball Field Area, EPA
found that contaminants were not found in soils or the unsaturated subsurface
at concentrations that would pose a risk to human health or the environment.
When a site – or portion of a site – meets the criteria for deletion from the
NPL, EPA works with its state government partners on concurrence. In this
instance, the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection concurred
with the partial deletion. EPA announced its intent to partially delete a
portion of the Site on February 22, 2023, beginning a 30-day public comment
period during which EPA received no significant comments.
EPA will use Bipartisan Infrastructure Law funding to continue working on the
remedial actions for the Site. Additional information and updates can be found
