EPA Begins Review
of South Point Plant Superfund Site
South Point, Ohio
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is conducting a five-year review of the South
Point Superfund site located on U.S. Highway 52 in South Point, Ohio. The Superfund
law requires regular checkups of sites that have been cleaned up - with waste managed
on-site - to make sure the cleanup continues to protect people and the environment.
EPA's cleanup at the site consisted of excavation and disposal of waste and contaminated
soil at a licensed off-site landfill, consolidation of remaining waste under a single barrier
cover to prevent infiltration of rainwater, pumping out of contaminated ground water
(underground water supplies), discharging of treated ground water to the Ohio River,
long-term monitoring and limits on use of the site and access to the site.
More information is available at the Briggs Lawrence Library, 317 Solida Road, South
Point Ohio and at www.epa.gov/region5/sites/southpoint. The review should be
completed in May 2011. Public comments should be sent to Ginny Narsete at U.S. EPA
by February 15, 2011.
The five-year review is an opportunity for you to tell EPA about site conditions and any
concerns you have. Contact:
