expected to flow towards Swan Creek. Oil, grease, alkanes, alkylbenzenes, and trace
levels of VOCs were detected in the upper 1.5 feet of soil along the Conrail tracks.
Two underground fuel tanks were sampled. Further analysis in August 1986 indicated
that soils in the rail siding area also had trace levels of heavy metals.
Remediation (1987)
A Soil Removal and Disposal Plan was submitted to Ohio EPA for this property.

Allied Automotive (contractor: T.A. Gleason Associates)
(1988)
A voluntary remediation was conducted on this site from April to July 1988. Railroad
tracks and ties were removed and contaminated soil was excavated to a depth of 2 to
2.5 feet along the rail siding were waste oil had been applied. Approximately 540
cubic yards of soil were excavated and disposed of at Evergreen Landfill. The
excavation was backfilled with clean sand and covered with topsoil.

American National Can Company (10444 Waterville-Swanton Road, Whitehouse)
Site History:
The American National Can Company manufactures two-piece aluminum and steel
cans at the 48 acre site. The facility utilized a lagoon as a holding basin for effluent
generated during the manufacturing process. The effluent was pretreated in the plant.
The lagoon was used for a period of approximately one year (1974-1975) and
permanently removed in 1992. The potential contaminant of concern appears to be
metals. The current owner is American Can Packaging, Inc.
Site Investigation (1997)
The site was investigated as part of the Ohio EPA Maumee Area of Concern Project
Phase III Site Assessments in 1997. The site was designated as no further remedial
action planned.
Lead Organization:
Ohio EPA (funded in part by a grant from US EPA)
Remediation (1989-1993)
In 1989 the original pretreatment system was replaced with a single stage lime and
settle wastewater treatment system. On July 10, 1992 Ohio EPA approved plans for
the closure of the lagoon and the closure was completed by May 1993. Cousins
Waste Control removed the sludge, which was solidified with kiln dust and disposed at
Evergreen Landfill.
