The site is a 20-block area located along the western bank of the Great Miami River.

Key components of the remedial action include: 

• Coordinating with neighboring property owners for access to additional  contaminated areas. 
• Excavating soil contaminated with PCE above 44 μ g/kg and TCE above 34 μ g/kg.
• Maintaining the structural integrity of an occupied building, active rail line, and levee system during site excavation and backfilling activities.
• Performing confirmation sampling to verify RALs are met
• Transporting and disposing excavated soil and debris at an off - site facility.
• Backfilling and restoring the property.

The project will be carried out as a task order under the EPA CLIN - 2 Remediation Environmental Services ID/IQ Program. The task order will be administered by EPA Region V. The project is currently scheduled to be completed within 15 months
