tons of contaminated soil was excavated, treated and disposed off-site. The removal
action also included construction of a berm to prevent off-site movement of surface
water.
(1996-2000)
The site was remediated under an Administrative Order of Consent between the
potentially responsible parties and US EPA using the SACM (Superfund Accelerated
Cleanup Model). An EE/CA was completed in 1998. On-site soils exceeding 1,540
ppm of lead (industrial standard) were removed from the site and off-site soils,
exceeding 400 ppm (residential standard), were removed from two locations. Site
activities included delineation, excavation, staging, and treatment of lead-impacted
soils. Following excavation the site was backfilled with soil and gravel. The
remediation was completed in 2000 with a deed restriction on the future use of the
property.

Frankfort Auto Parts (229 South Schwamberger Road, Holland)
(a.k.a. Hudson Site)
Site History:
A 3.7 acre site, the former Frankfort Auto Parts was discovered because of a citizen
complaint regarding abandoned and deteriorating drums. The operational history of
the auto parts junkyard is unknown. Organic solvents were determined as the
potential constituent of concern. Wiregrass Ditch serves as a conduit to take
contamination off site.
Site Investigation (1993)
In December 1993 Ohio EPA investigated this site and found 55-gallon drums
beneath a pile of deteriorating tires. Some of the drums had released their contents
and two of the drums had a placard saying ”dispose of in an EPA approved TSD
facility.”
