Green I Landfill – Green Township (Logan)
On November 22, 2010, the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) finalized a Decision Document identifying the selected alternative to remediate contamination at the Green I Landfill Site located on Hunters Woods Road in Green Township (Logan), Hocking County, Ohio. The approximately 10½ acre Green I Landfill began operations in 1970 and ceased accepting waste in 1974. The landfill accepted household, commercial and industrial wastes. Information generated during the remedial investigation and feasibility study and modified based on public comments was used to select the remedial alternative for the Site, which includes: construction of a multi-layer cap; installation of a leachate (i.e., water that has come into contact with buried landfill wastes)collection system; dewatering and removal of sediments from an affected off-site pond; an environmental covenant establishing activity and use limitations for the Site property; and associated reporting.

Franklin Steel Company (aka Columbus Steel Drum) - Blacklick
On June 28, 2010, Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) finalized a Decision Document identifying the selected alternative to remediate contamination at the Franklin Steel Company (a.k.a. Columbus Steel Drum) site located at 1385 Blatt Boulevard in Blacklick, Ohio (Franklin County). The site was constructed in 1971 on approximately 38 acres; two 10-acre drum storage areas and an 18-acre drum processing and storage area. The process operation involves the reconditioning and recycling of used 55-gallon steel drums. The site has numerous localized areas with elevated contaminant levels in the soils of the process operation area and the sediments of the adjacent stream. These contaminants include metals, semi-volatile organics and volatile organics. The selected alternative includes: soil and sediment excavation and removal, monitored ground water natural attenuation, an environmental covenant limiting future site activity to industrial/commercial and prohibiting the use of ground water for potable water, institutional controls, and a long-term operation and maintenance plan.
