In September 2020, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) added the Highway 100 and County Road 3 Groundwater Plume site in St. Louis Park and Edina to the Superfund National Priorities List (NPL), making the site eligible to receive federal funding for long-term, permanent cleanup. The City of St. Louis Park remains in full support of this step to ensure the ongoing health and safety of residents and that those who caused the contamination are held responsible.

In late August 2022, the EPA met with St. Louis Park and Edina community members to understand their concerns and information needs about the site. The information gathered will be used to create a community involvement plan, which is a communication strategy that guides the EPA to enable meaningful community involvement throughout the Superfund investigation and cleanup process.

Any health concerns related to vapor intrusion or drinking water safety resulting from this site have already been addressed by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA), EPA and cities of St. Louis Park and Edina. Since the early 2000s, the city has been working successfully with the MPCA and the EPA to ensure the safety of its drinking water and to protect residents from any adverse effects of this contamination. The City of St. Louis Park is in full support of this step to ensure those responsible for the contamination are held responsible and to ensure the ongoing health and safety of residents.
