CANTON
Cleanup approved
CANTON: The Ohio Environmental Protection Agency on Thursday approved a brownfield cleanup of the future Stein Industrial Park in southeast Canton.
The 42-acre property near Sherrick Drive and Steinway Boulevard required removal of 7.2 tons of soils contaminated with petroleum products and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). Clean soil was added.
The cleanup under the state's Voluntary Action Program was directed by the city of Canton, which hired a certified environmental professional to assess the pollution at the site that was formerly the National Iron and Metal Co. and Canton Metal Alloy (more recently known as Industrial Recycling Services).
The EPA issued an agreement not to sue to current owners — Bruening Sheplar Associates Inc., T&W Investments LLC and Absolute Auto & Truck Technicians — for the past environmental problems.
