Ohio EPA Public Meeting on Former Diamond Shamrock Property
CONTACT: Heather Lauer, (614) 644-2160 [email protected]
Ohio EPA will hold a virtual information session on Tuesday, Jan. 11, 2022, at 6 p.m. to discuss a Preferred Plan, also known as a recommended remediation plan, for the former Diamond Shamrock location in Painesville. During the information session, Agency staff will give a brief presentation and answer questions from the public regarding the preferred remediation plan. An in-person public hearing is scheduled for 3:30 p.m., Thursday, Jan. 20, at the Ohio EPA Northeast District Office, 2110 East Aurora Road, Twinsburg, where the Agency will accept comments on the record.
The Preferred Plan specifically focuses on an area known as Operable Unit 4, located in the west-central portion of the property along the Grand River. The plan summarizes the history of the site and the investigation of contamination. The plan also provides an analysis of remedial alternatives, and outlines Ohio EPA’s preferred alternative for remediation.
