8750 CINCINNATI DAYTON HIGHWAY
The 78-acre Skinner Landfill site is located on a ridge above the east fork of Mill Creek in West Chester, Ohio. The landfill accepted hazardous and demolition wastes starting in the late 1950s. The actual landfill area covers approximately ten acres and includes a one-acre lagoon. The lagoon contains hazardous waste and approximately 100 drums of solvents, pesticides, and heavy metals. Approximately 40 feet of demolition material are on top of this lagoon. Demolition waste was accepted until July 1990. The remaining 60 acres of the site contain scrap metal, the owner's residence, and buildings used by the owner for his general contracting business. Waste disposed at the landfill was municipal, commercial, industrial and construction waste. Based largely upon World War II-era activities, the Department of Defense is a potentially responsible party (PRP) at the site, as are a number of municipalities, Fortune 500 companies, and small transporters in the Cincinnati area. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) placed the Skinner Landfill site on the National Priorities List (NPL) in December 1982. Site Responsibility This site is being addressed through federal, state, and potentially responsible parties' actions.
