Copley Square contamination 1990 Ohio Environmental Protection Agency samples two wells at Copley and Jacoby roads because of taste and odor concerns. Wells are found to be contaminated with several volatile organic compounds (VOCs) at levels that create a public health concern. Use of wells is discontinued. 1991-94 EPA samples nearby residential wells. June 1994 EPA discovers nine residential wells contaminated with VOCs. July 1994 Ohio Department of Health tells residents not to drink, cook or bathe with contaminated water from those wells. August 1994 to April 1995 U.S. EPA installs devices to clean well water as temporary fix at eight houses and conducts emergency cleanup of the site, including removal 8,000 gallons of solvent-contaminated liquids from basement of an old dry-cleaning shop. 1995-2002 Ohio EPA conducts quarterly sampling of residential wells and tests drinking water in eight houses with air strippers and carbon filters. November 2000 Monitoring-well sampling shows the contamination is spreading. August 2003 Ohio EPA expands its investigation, sampling 17 monitoring wells and 23 residential wells. Several monitoring wells east of the original site show high levels of contamination. Ohio EPA computer model indicates that gases moving through soils into nearby basements could be a threat. April 27, 2005 Copley Square Plaza is added to the federal Superfund program. 2006-07 U.S. EPA is investigating site and drafting plans for a remedy.
