SOUTH DAYTON DUMP & LANDFILL
EPA ID# OHD980611388Last Updated: October, 2006
Site Description
The South Dayton Dump & Landfill is an old industrial landfill located at 1975 Dryden Road in Moraine, Ohio. Previous EPA and OEPA reports indicate that the landfill is 25 acres but more recent information indicates that the landfill is 80 acres. About 40 acres of the landfill has been built over and/or is being used for other commercial/industrial purposes.
The landfill operated from 1941 to 1996 and is a filled in sand and gravel pit. The landfill contains drums, metal turnings, fly ash, foundry sand, demolition material, wooden pallets, asphalt, paint, paint thinner, oils, brake fluids, asbestos, solvents, transformers and other industrial waste. As the extracted areas of the site were filled some of the the property was sold and/or leased to businesses including Valley Asphalt and other businesses along Dryden Road and East River Road. The Miami Conservancy District owns the southern part of the site including part of the large quarry pond. The owners of the remaining undeveloped areas of the landfill would like to develop these areas of the site for commercial and/or industrial use.
The landfill is located near the Great Miami River and is separated from the river by about 350 feet of flat open land and the Great Miami River Recreation Trail. Seven residences are within 200 feet of the landfill along East River Road and a trailer park is 200 feet from the landfill east of Dryden Road. Part of the landfill is within the 100 year floodway and more than half of the landfill is within the 100 year floodplain. The landfill is within a secondary wellhead protection area and there is a well (not used for drinking water) in the northern part of the landfill. The site also contains a federally designated wetland. Some of the landfilled materials are below the water table and are in direct contact with groundwater.
Site Responsibility
This site is being addressed by potentially responsible parties under federal and state oversight.
Threats and Contaminants
Soil contains metals including lead, copper, antimony, arsenic, barium, beryllium, cadmium and mercury, and organic compounds including polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), trichloroethene (TCE), tetrachloroethene (PCE) and polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Groundwater contains vinyl chloride, TCE, 1,2-dichloroethene and other volatile organic compounds. Sediment in the water-filled gravel pit contains PCBs and pesticides and sediment in the adjacent Great Miami River contains pesticides and mercury.
Cleanup Progress
EPA conducted a screening site inspection of the landfill in 1991 and a focused site inspection prioritization site evaluation in 1995. Ohio EPA conducted a site team evaluation prioritization of the landfill in 1996. In 2002 EPA conducted an aerial photographic analysis of the site.
In 2000 Valley Asphalt removed several drums and 2,217 tons of contaminated soils from their property that was uncovered when a sewer line was being excavated.
EPA proposed the site to the National Priorities List in 2004.
In 2006 several potentially responsible parties for the contamination agreed to conduct further studies and evaluate cleanup options at the site. This work is called a remedial investigation/feasibility study and is being conducted under an administrative settlement agreement and order on consent with EPA. EPA expects to receive draft work plans for the investigation in December 2006. Field work is expected to begin in 2007.
