OH: Peter's Cartridge Company to be remedied

Peter's Cartridge Company
Peter's Cartridge Company is a former smokeless ordnance and shot shell ammunition factory in Kings Mill, Ohio. Located along the Little Miami River, the 71-acre Peters Cardridge factory began production of ordnance in 1887, ending in 1944.



On July 16, 2009, the Environmental Protection Agency outlined a $5 million plan to clean the grounds of the factory through the federal Superfund program. The soil, contaminated with lead, mercury, copper, antimony, arsenic and other toxins, is adjacent to the Little Miami. The plan calls for the removal of 32,000 cubic yards of soil and sediment from the site, which would be replaced by clean fill. The contaminated soil would then be placed on an impermeable synthetic liner on a three-acre site on a flat section of the property, topped with clean dirt and vegetation.

Funding for the cleanup would be derived from DuPont, who purchased 60% of Remington stock in 1933 before fully acquiring the company in 1980. It became a wholly-owned subsidiary of DuPont.

well if they remove 32,000 yards of soil from there, I don't see any other way than demolition !
