e.h. schilling landfill

RTE 52 & PATRIC RD

The E. H. Schilling Landfill, located in Hamilton Township, Lawrence County, Ohio, is a three-acre site that operated as a waste disposal facility from 1969 to 1980. During the operation, it accepted a wide variety of liquid and solid hazardous industrial and non-hazardous wastes including styrene, phenol, acetone, alcohol, wastewater treatment sludges, coal tar compounds and foam material. The waste material was deposited behind an earthen dam and under a soil cover. The depth of the waste material is approximately 45 feet. The landfill was closed by the State of Ohio in 1980 due to numerous permit violations. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposed the site for the National Priorities List (NPL) in December 1982 and finalized the site on the NPL in September 1983.
