Superfund record of decision (EPA Region 5): Skinner Landfill, Butler County, Union Township, West Chester, OH. (First remedial action), September 1992. Interim report
The 78-acre Skinner Landfill site is located in West Chester, Butler County, Ohio. Land use in the immediate vicinity includes business and residential uses to the west and crop farming to the north. The site was used in the past for the mining of sand and gravel, and was operated for the landfilling of a wide variety of materials from approximately 1934 through 1990. Materials deposited onsite include demolition debris, household refuse, and a wide variety of chemical wastes. In 1982, EPA conducted an investigation that showed that the groundwater southeast of the buried waste lagoon was contaminated with VOCs. RI studies conducted between 1986 and 1989 investigated the site ground water, surface water, soil, and sediment. In 1990, the state closed the site to further landfilling activities. The ROD is an interim action to protect human health by limiting site access to prevent ingestion of and direct contact with contaminated soil, and to protect the potentially affected users of ground water on and near the site. The primary contaminants of concern affecting the soil and ground water are VOCs, including benzene; organics, including PAHs, PCBs, and pesticides; and metals, including arsenic. The selected interim remedial action for the site are included.
