The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency - Region 7 (IA, KS, MO, NE) is conducting the Five-Year Review process for the Findett Corp. Superfund Site in St. Charles, Missouri.

This is the site's sixth Five-Year Review and will include Operable Units 1, 2, and 3. Operable Unit 4, Ameren Substation, will not be included in this Five-Year Review as construction of a remedy has not yet started.

Five-Year Reviews provide an opportunity to evaluate the implementation and performance of a remedy and to determine if that remedy remains protective of human health and the environment.

The Sixth Five-Year review for the site is due by July 20, 2025. EPA Region 7’s site team has developed an extensive schedule to ensure that the Five-Year Review will be finalized before the due date, while managing several other cleanup milestones at the site.

EPA Region 7 will host a public availability session to discuss the findings of the Five-Year Review once the report is finalized and published in summer 2025.

Site project information is available to the public at web repositories. To view cleanup documents, please visit EPA’s Site Profile page at: www.epa.gov/superfund/findettcorp (see Site Documents & Data).
