OLD RTE 52 1MILE SOUTH OF OHIO RIVER

The South Point Plant site, located in Lawrence County, Ohio, is a 610-acre industrial area where numerous potentially responsible parties (PRPs), including Allied-Signal, Ashland Oil, and South Point Ethanol (SPE), produced ammonia fertilizer and formaldehyde and operated a coal-water fuel pilot plant, a pitch prilling test plant, and an ethanol production plant. The site contains three unlined landfills that contain a variety of wastes including fly ash, plant refuse, coal cinders, and small quantities of chemicals. In addition, numerous activities have contributed to the contamination of groundwater and soils, including a number of major spills at the site. The site is located on the eastern flood plain of the Ohio River. Approximately 65,000 people live within three miles of the site. The village of South Point is the nearest town. The intake for the Ashland, Kentucky municipal water supply, which serves approximately 24,000 people, is located on the Ohio River about one mile downstream of the site. The village of South Point draws its water supply from a well field near the site that supplies drinking water to an estimated 4,000 people.
