miami county incinerator

2200 N COUNTY RD

The 65-acre Miami County Incinerator site, located in Miami County, Ohio, contains the following areas of concern: the South Landfill, the North Landfill, the Liquid Disposal Area, the Ash Disposal Pit, the Ash Pile and the Groundwater. The incinerator and landfills were opened in 1968, to process and dispose of municipal and industrial wastes. Combustible wastes were to be incinerated and the non-combustible wastes were to be landfilled; however, large volumes of combustible wastes were landfilled along with non-combustible wastes. Liquid wastes including waste oils and solvents were dumped or buried onsite. A contaminated plume of organic chemicals flowed from the liquid disposal area into the Great Miami River. This plume contaminated wells of many residents who live near the site. Municipal wells serving 19,000 people are located within three miles of the site. The plume contaminates a sole source aquifer. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) proposed the site to the National Priorities List (NPL) on September 8, 1983, and finalized the Site on the NPL on September 21, 1984. Site Responsibility This site is being addressed through federal, state, and potentially responsible parties' actions.
