stop on-site debris dumping. Ohio EPA recommended that dirt or fly ash be used to<br />
fill the pit in 1981.<br />
(1983)<br />
Ohio EPA inspected the pit and observed a large oily sludge area remaining<br />
uncovered. Heist was instructed to properly close this area.<br />
(1985)<br />
A Preliminary Assessment by Ohio EPA recommended a low priority <strong>for</strong> US EPA Field<br />
Investigation Team (FIT) and a medium priority <strong>for</strong> an Ohio EPA inspection of the site.<br />
It also recommended leachate sampling in the pit, additional cover, and periodic<br />
monitoring <strong>for</strong> breakthrough.<br />
(1986)<br />
In July 1986 Ohio EPA did a RCRA hazardous waste inspection and confirmed that<br />
Heist <strong>Clean</strong>ing Services did not generate or transport waste to the site.<br />
(1990)<br />
In April 1990 Ecology & Environment, Inc. (contracted by US EPA) <strong>report</strong>ed to Ohio<br />
EPA that the Heist site presented a possible hazard to groundwater in the site area,<br />
but due to lacks of targets, Ecology & Environment recommended no further action.<br />
In October 1990 Heist contracted CTI Environmental Services, Inc. to determine the<br />
content of materials in the pit. Composite samples to 15 feet below surface contained<br />
components of petroleum products.<br />
Also in October 1990 D.F. Stazy & Associates per<strong>for</strong>med a geophysical survey to<br />
determine the depth and boundaries of the pit and to further characterize the contents.<br />
They found sludge materials to a depth of 15 feet.<br />
(1993)<br />
A Site Evaluation Report by PRC Environmental <strong>for</strong> US EPA concluded that no<br />
documented release to surface water has occurred.<br />
(1994)<br />
A Site Screening Investigation done by PRC Environmental <strong>for</strong> Ohio EPA concluded<br />
that the current potential <strong>for</strong> release to nearby ditches appears to be low because the<br />
<strong>for</strong>mer sludge pit is covered and no well-defined drainage routes from the pit to the<br />
surface water existed.<br />
Remediation (1981)<br />
In November 1981 Heist claimed that they covered the sludge pit according to Ohio<br />
EPA requirements.<br />
(1983)<br />
In response to Ohio EPA , Heist filled and capped the pit.<br />
