PIKE AND MULBERRY STREETS Martinsville, Indiana
PCE PLUME Morgan County
(?) Site Location:
The Pike and Mulberry Streets PCE Plume is located in Martinsville, Indiana.
Site History:
The Pike and Mulberry Streets PCE Plume was discovered from investigations conducted at the nearby Master Wear
facility, a former drycleaner that released chlorinated solvents to the soil and ground water during its operations from
1986 to 1991. Potentially responsible parties for the Master Wear facility have conducted a removal action at the site
with the EPA's oversight. The level of tetrachloroethylene (PCE) in the city's drinking water supply has continued to
increase. The Master Wear facility is a possible contributor to the plume and there appear to be other possible sources
of PCE contamination in the Martinsville area that may be contributing to the plume contamination.
I Site Contamination/Contaminants:
The ground water plume consists of the chlorinated solvents PCE, trichloroethene (TCE) and cis-l,2-dichloroethene
(cis-l,2-DCE).
