Waste may leak anew from local dump in Ohio
EPA and state officials warn the abandoned Ford Road dump in Lorain County may again leach into the Black River. The site, 15 acres, is owned by the Lorain County Metropolitan Park District and was previously operated by Browning Ferris Industries. A federal and state EPA team found ammonia and heavy metals in leakage last October. OEPA seeks more than 17 million from the federal Superfund to clean 20 sites across 14 counties, including two in Cuyahoga County and others in Portage, Hamilton, Lake, and more.
