Fraleigh Creek Remediation (f.k.a. Unnamed Tributary Remediation)
1998
Description:
Lead Organization:
Fraleigh Creek (formerly known as the Unnamed Tributary to the Ottawa River) was a
major source of PCB contamination to the Ottawa River and Lake Erie. It had
documented cases of PCB spikes as high as 74,000 PPM, one of the highest in the
State of Ohio. Through a collaborative effort in 1998 this site was remediated
including the removal of 10,000 cubic yards of sediment with an estimated 56,000
pounds of PCBs, the rerouting of 5 storm sewers, and the original channel being
relocated. After remediation the site was regraded and deed restrictions were put in
place for residual levels of contamination.
