In April 1990 Midwest Environmental Consultants performed an investigation and a
Risk Assessment of 367 Arco Drive (lot 25). In October 1990 Geraghty and Miller,
Inc. performed an investigation of a soil pile at Spartan Chemical Co. (3243
Frenchmens Rd.) which demonstrated PAH contamination.
(1993)
This site was investigated as a part of the Ohio EPA Maumee Area of Concern
Project Phase I Site Investigations and laboratory analysis indicated the presence of
significant volatile organic compound, polyaromatic hydrocarbon, pesticide and metal
contamination in the surficial soils. PAH and metal contamination were also identified
in soil from Williams Ditch and PAH and metal contamination were confirmed in the
surface water of Williams Ditch. It was recommended for additional investigation and
remediation.

Remediation (1997-1998)
During storm events in late 1997, an unidentified oily material was observed on the
surface waters of Williams Ditch and was believed to be leaking from the buried
Toledo Tie lagoons. Emergency measures were taken in October 1997 to contain the
materials and signs warning against human contact were installed. In January 1998,
US EPA issued unilateral orders for a Time-Critical Removal Action to clean up the
site. The contaminated sediment was removed and a barrier installed to minimize
future creosote migration to Williams Ditch.
