Public Notice: EPA Begins Seventh Review of Old Mill Superfund Site

Summary

EPA is conducting a five-year review of the Old Mill site at the intersection of Railroad St. and Station St., Rock Creek, Ohio. The Superfund law requires regular checkups of sites that have been cleaned up or where cleanup has been ongoing for at least five years – with waste managed on-site – to make sure the cleanup continues to protect people and the environment. This is the seventh five-year review of this site.

EPA’s cleanup at the site consisted of demolishing dilapidated buildings, digging up and disposing of contaminated soil, installing a groundwater pumping and treating system, long-term monitoring, and limiting the use of and access to the site.

More information is available at the Old Mill site webpage. The review is expected to be completed in March of 2026.

The five-year review is an opportunity for you to tell EPA about site conditions and any concerns you have.
