Remediation (1998-Present)
The US EPA selected the Tyler Street Landfill for remediation under the Superfund's
Accelerated Cleanup Model (SACM) program. An evaluation of possible remedies
and their costs (EE/CA) was conducted by the PRPs. The EE/CA recommended
capping the landfill with a multi-layer cover system to contain the wastes and leachate
and to prevent future infiltration of rainwater, thereby allowing the landfill to dewater
(drain existing leachate). The Stickney/Tyler Administrative Group (STAG), a group of
20 PRPs including the City of Toledo, under an agreement with US EPA, finished the
design and began construction in 1997 and completed the 16-month capping project
in 1998. The Tyler Landfill is currently undergoing a 5-year performance-monitoring
period. Following successful completion of site monitoring, the site may be
incorporated into developable lands for the Stickney West Industrial Park. (see -
Royster/SWIP for more information) Total costs at the combined Stickney and Tyler
Landfill sites was approximately $24 million.

area operated by Willy’s Overland-Jeep. (see – North Cove Landfill for related
information)
Site Investigation (1993-1994)
This site was investigated as a part of the Ohio EPA Maumee Area of Concern
Project Phase I Site Investigations and was recommended for no further action
because the site is in the RI/FS review process.

Ohio EPA (funded in part by a grant from US EPA)
XXKem Company (3903-3905 Stickney Ave., Toledo)
(a.k.a. Incorporated Crafts, Robert Oberly)
Site History:
Several companies successively operated the XXKem site as an illegal hazardous
waste treatment, storage, and disposal facility, involved in reclaiming and recycling
chlorinated solvents, using distillation as a reclamation process. Waste disposal
activities began on this 13 acre site in 1959 with the disposal of wastes related to the
manufacture of printing ink (1959-1969) and in the early 1970s sewage sludge was
deposited. Incorporated Crafts operated from 1974 to 1981. S.M. Allen operated
here from 1981 to 1986 and XXKem/Lion Land Procurement purchased the site in
1986.
Sludges and waste oil from various industrial processes and possibly waste solvent
washes from printing industries were dumped into an impoundment area in the back
