The 15-acre Summit National site is located in Portage County, Ohio, on a former coal strip mine containing a coal wash pond and a coal stockpile. From 1974 to 1978, the site was used as a waste disposal facility and received such wastes as oils, resins, paint and metal plating sludges, flammable solvents and chlorinated solvents. Two surface water ponds and an incinerator were also located onsite. The facility received liquid wastes which were stored in drums, an open pit, or in bulk tanks. Some wastes were incinerated, others were buried and some were dumped on the soil. The groundwater, soil and surface water were contaminated with volatile organic compounds (VOCs), phenols, phthalates, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and heavy metals including arsenic, chromium, and cadmium. About 4,500 people live within three miles of the site. Surface water flow from the site goes to the Berlin Lake Reservoir which is a standby water supply for the city of Youngstown. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposed the site to the National Priorities List (NPL) in December 1982 and finalized the site on the NPL in September 1983. Site Responsibility This site is being addressed through federal, state, and potentially responsible parties' actions.
