NPL Site Narrative for Buckeye Reclamation
BUCKEYE RECLAMATION
St. Clairsville, Ohio
Federal Register Notice: September 8, 1983Conditions at listing (December 1982): The Buckeye Reclamation Site, a former strip mine, covers 50 acres near St. Clairsville, Belmont County, Ohio. It was licensed as a sanitary landfill but also accepted industrial wastes, including sludges and liquids, without State approval. Industrial wastes were dumped into permeable mining wastes. The slopes of the filled area are steep, and the mining wastes used for cover are eroding. Substantial amounts of leachate from the rear of the site have entered a stream adjacent to a private home. The site has polluted McHahon Creek, which may be used for recreational purposes. There is potential to contaminate local wells.
Status (July 1983): EPA is preparing a Remedial Action Master Plan outlining the investigations needed to determine the full extent of cleanup required at the site. It will guide further actions at the site.
