57TH & N BROADWAY STREETS

The 57th and North Broadway Streets site is primarily a groundwater contamination site that includes residential and commercial areas. The sources of contamination in this area have been determined to be several commercial operations at the upper end of the contaminant plume. Local and State officials were first alerted to the presence of contamination in 1983 when a resident complained about the poor quality of the drinking water. Subsequent investigations led to the detection of contamination in the soil, as well as in residential and industrial wells. In 1989, the Kansas Department of Health and the Environment (KDHE) identified four parties potentially responsible for site contamination: an oil refining plant, a trucking company, an abandoned gas station, and an abandoned paint factory which generated paint sludge and cooling water. Other sources of contamination have been identified within the site.
