Beginning in May 2019, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) began a cleanup of hazardous waste at the Graveyard Auto site, 1320 Emery Crossing, Clarksville, Indiana. From 1983 to 2018 an auto scrapyard operated at the site. Prior to 1983, a mobile home park had been located there.

In July 2018, the town of Clarksville requested EPA’s assistance in removing hazardous waste drums and soil containing arsenic, iron and lead from the site.  The property consists of two parcels of the land totaling approximately 10.54 acres. The property was improved with a modular office building, a concrete block building, several lean-to structures, and several mobile homes.
