Tire Fire Site

As a result of a tire fire covering approximately 19 acres, a potentially large amount of oil was produced. The oil caused environmental concerns at the site, including potential impact to soil and ground water, and polluted stormwater runoff. L&A was contracted by the Ohio EPA to provide services to identify areas where the oil collected and implement a plan to contain and treat the contaminated stormwater runoff. They would also perform a Phase II investigation to identify and delineate soil and ground water contamination. A retention and treatment pond was constructed along with construction of a drainage system from the site to that pond. Water was then processed through a treatment system designed, built and operated by L&A. Permits allowing discharge into a nearby stream were permitted under an Ohio EPA permit obtained by L&A for the project. Erosion Control and Site Work was completed on approximately 15 acres of the site.
