The site operated between 1958 and 1968. Initially only domestic refuse was accepted, but from 1963 the site began accepting chemical waste from DuPont and PPG Industries. Waste was either dumped on the ground and covered with a layer of soil, or incinerated in the open air. Analysis of surface water undertaken by the United States Environmental Protection Agency in 1980 revealed the presence of contaminants and in 1983 the site was added to the National Priorities List (NPL) of hazardous waste sites eligible for long-term remedial action (cleanup) financed under the federal Superfund program. The cleanup was completed in 1993, and the site was removed from the NPL in 1997, but remains subject to review at 5-year intervals. HistoryThe parcel of land in which the landfill was established was purchased by John M. Bowers, a local dental surgeon, in 1957.[1] The following year Bowers began a sand and gravel quarrying operation on the eastern edge of the land adjacent to Island Road. Shortly afterwards, the portion of land between the quarry and the Scioto River was utilized as a landfill, with soil from the quarry used to cover the refuse.[2] References1. ^{{cite report|url=http://www3.epa.gov/region5/cleanup/bowers/pdfs/bowers-ri-19871118.pdf|title=Remedial Investigation Report|work=Dames & Moore|date=November 18, 1987|accessdate=November 27, 2015|via=United States Environmental Protection Agency|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20121206021907/http://www.epa.gov/region5/cleanup/bowers/pdfs/bowers-ri-19871118.pdf|archivedate=December 6, 2012|df=mdy-all}} 2. ^{{cite book|page=412|title=Hazardous Waste Sites: Descriptions of Sites on Current National Priorities List, October 1984|year=1984|publisher=United States Environmental Protection Agency}} 3 : Landfills in the United States|Pickaway County, Ohio|Superfund sites in Ohio |
