The site occupies a 31-acre parcel of land, of which ten acres was used for a licensed junkyard since the early 1960s (and may have been operating since the 1940s).

Records also indicate that several thousand drums of industrial waste were disosed of at the site in the late 1970s. The site received wastes until 1980. Portions of Fearing and Marietta townships, and the entire city of Marietta are within a three-mile radius of the Van Dale site. Approximately 10,000 people live within two miles of the site. Site Responsibility The Van Dale site is being addressed through state and federal oversight of potentially responsible party (PRP) actions.
