Abstract

The Fultz Landfill Superfund (Fultz) site is a 30-acre hazardous waste landfill located near Byesville, Ohio. The site is approximately 75 miles east of Columbus and 3 miles southwest of Cambridge, the largest city in Guernsey County, Ohio. The landfill is situated on the north slope of a ridge that overlies abandoned coal mines in the Upper Freeport Coal seam. The north half of the landfill lies in an unreclaimed strip mine in the Upper Freeport Coal seam, where saturated portions of surface mine spoils and natural soils form the ``shallow aquifer``. The south half of the landfill lies 40 to 50 feet (ft.) above an abandoned, flooded deep mine in the same coal seam. The flooded deep mine forms an aquifer referred to as the ``coal mine aquifer``. This paper presents the results of design studies completed by PRC Environmental Management, Inc. (PRC), during 1993, and the remedial design (RD) of the components specified by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Record of Decision (ROD) for the Fultz site (EPA 1991). The remedy specified in the ROD includes a multilayer landfill cap that is compliant with Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) Subtitle C guidelines, a leachate collection andmore »« less

Technical Report

The 30-acre Fultz Landfill site is a privately owned inactive sanitary landfill on the north slope of a ridge that overlies abandoned coal mines in Jackson Township, Guernsey County, Ohio. The site lies within the drainage basin of Wills Creek, which flows north adjacent to the site and is used by the city of Cambridge as the municipal water supply. The northern half of the landfill lies in an unreclaimed strip mine where surface mine spoil and natural soil form a shallow aquifer. During the 1970's, the landfill operator was cited for various violations. Investigations in 1988 by EPA indicatedmore »« less
Public health assessment for Fultz Landfill, Byesville, Guernsey County, Ohio, Region 5. CERCLIS No. OHD980794630. Final report

Technical Report

Fultz Landfill, placed on the National Priorities List (NPL) in 1982, is in Guernsey County, Ohio, 0.5 miles north of Byesville, Ohio. The landfill is a privately owned, former sanitary landfill which reportedly accepted hazardous waste. State and local involvement at the site started in 1968. The landfill ceased operations in 1985. Disposal of hazardous waste at the Fultz Landfill site contaminated the soil, leachate, surface water, sediments, and groundwater. On-site groundwater contains very high concentrations of arsenic, barium, chromium, and lead. Groundwater on-site also contains vinyl chloride, and polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons. The Fultz Landfill site is considered a publicmore »« less
Abandoned deep mine subsidence investigation and remedial design, Interstate 70, Guernsey County, Ohio

Conference Hoffmann, A; Clark, D; Bechtel, T

A two thousand linear foot, undermined section of Interstate 70 in Guernsey County, Ohio experienced settlements due to pothole type subsidence events within the travel lanes, shoulders and adjacent right-of-way areas. Potholes measured approximately ten feet in depth and width. The subsidence occurred after the dewatering of the abandoned deep mine during auger mining operations west of the site. A two-phase emergency investigation was undertaken by the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) and Gannett Fleming Cord dry and Carpenter (GF). The purpose of the investigation was to assess the immediate danger of potholes occurring in the traveled lanes and pavedmore »« less
Coal combustion waste management at landfills and surface impoundments 1994-2004.

Technical Report Elcock, D; Ranek, N

On May 22, 2000, as required by Congress in its 1980 Amendments to the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued a Regulatory Determination on Wastes from the Combustion of Fossil Fuels. On the basis of information contained in its 1999 Report to Congress: Wastes from the Combustion of Fossil Fuels, the EPA concluded that coal combustion wastes (CCWs), also known as coal combustion by-products (CCBs), did not warrant regulation under Subtitle C of RCRA, and it retained the existing hazardous waste exemption for these materials under RCRA Section 3001(b)(3)(C). However, the EPA alsomore »« less

Superfund Record of Decision (EPA region 3): Osborne Landfill site, Pine Township, Mercer County, PA. (First remedial action), September 1990

Technical Report

The 15-acre Osborne Landfill site is an inactive abandoned coal strip mine in Pine Township, Mercer County, Pennsylvania. The site is in a semi-rural area with a large natural pond, woodlands, and wetlands bordering the site to the west. The shallow Clarion aquifer is present east of the strip mine highwall. The portion of the aquifer that formerly overlaid the site was excavated during stripping activities. From the late 1950s to 1978, contaminated spent foundry sand and other industrial and municipal wastes were disposed of into the pit. Other wastes including trash and drums containing solvents, wastewater, and coolants, weremore »« less
