Background
U.S. EPA is investigating possible contamination at sites in eastern Sandusky County. The investigation is one of several actions being taken to follow up on concerns raised in August 2011 when EPA met with Clyde-area families affected by childhood cancer.
The initial investigation will focus on 14 sites identified in a 2009 study (see below) prepared by Ohio state agencies:
- Amert Lagoon Site
- Bellevue City Dump
- Clyde City Dump
- Formulated Products Site
- Golembiowski Dump Site
- Green Township Dump Site
- Leach Dump Site
- McGrath Dump
- Meggitt Landfill
- Riley Township Dump
- Townsend Township Dump
- Whirlpool Manufacturing Site
- Wickerham Drum Site
- York Township Dump
EPA has a dedicated hotline — 855-838-1304 — to collect tips about other potentially contaminated sites and potentially unsafe waste disposal practices in eastern Sandusky County. All calls will be kept confidential.
EPA personnel and contractors will be doing assessment work in Sandusky County during 2012. They will be collecting soil, air and water samples. EPA will also be taking a fresh look at environmental data previously collected in this area.
