Technical Report · Wed Mar 31 04:00:00 EST 1993

OSTI ID:6562408

Buckeye Reclamation Landfill, a National Priority List site, is in Belmont County, southeast of St. Clairsville, Ohio. The site was once mined for coal and served as a disposal area for mine waste, sanitary waste, and hazardous waste. Reportedly, 4.6 million gallons of liquid hazardous waste was disposed of in the Waste Pit area (Woodward-Clyde, 1985). The disposal of hazardous waste in the Waste Pit has contaminated on-site soils, groundwater, leachate, and surface water, with volatile organic compounds, semivolatiles, and metals. Buckeye Reclamation Landfill is a public health hazard due to the potential for exposure to humans. Individuals on-site, whether workers, or trespassers, may be exposed to site-related contaminants through contact with contaminated leachate on site. At this time, it appears that community concern is limited. The data and information developed in the Buckeye Reclamation Landfill Public Health Assessment have been evaluated for follow-up health actions.
