soils were sampled and found to include volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds
as well as PCBs.
Remediation (1983)
PCB contaminated oil was removed by Inland Chemicals of Kentucky. Closure (filling
lagoon with non-metallic auto fluff material and capping with clay, topsoil and seeding)
was done in 1983.
(1992-1993)
In 1992-1993 an emergency removal action packaged and removed approximately
1,200 drums and 5 above ground blending tanks under funding from CERCLA, on the
eastern part of the site. Waste materials included spent solvents mixed with other
wastes creating an incompatible storage situation.

(1998-Present)
In 1998, the western portion of the site was included in the remediation of the Stickney
Landfill to help prevent leachate from leaving the XXKem site and entering the
Stickney Landfill site. This design included grading and capping the western (rear)
portion of the site consistent with the capping design for the landfill. A pump and treat
groundwater remediation system was installed by the City of Toledo ($300,000) at this
time and continues to be in operation. Safety-Kleen Envirosystems Company
assumed the ongoing operations and maintenance of the system that as of December
2000 removed 3000 gallons of leachate per week.

Bill’s Road Oil Services (3500 York St., Oregon)
Site History:
Bill’s Road Oil Services operated as an oil recycling facility for 9 years on this .25 acre
site. It included 2 waste oil impoundments (lagoons) and five tanks which were used
for storage. The impoundments were located in the southeast corner of the property.
This property was acquired by Fondessy Enterprises, Inc. in 1982. Envirosafe
Services of Ohio, Inc. (ESOI) took ownership of all the Fondessy Family properties
located in this area in 1983. By 1984 the liquid from both lagoons was removed.
Envirosafe did remediation of the site and they used the tanks on the south part of the
property for vehicle storage/maintenance sheds.
When Cell M of the Envirosafe hazardous waste disposal facility was initiated in 1992
the Bill’s Road Oil area was used to stockpile and condition the clay for the cell liner.
In June 1992 the Envirosafe Stabilization/Containment Building construction began on
the former Bill’s Road Oil property. This area was excavated during construction and
oil stained soils with traces of gray material were found. Ohio EPA required
Envirosafe to conducted analytical studies of the soils and to prepare a sampling and
analysis plan for clean up. This site is identified as a solid waste management unit
