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.
