Tests show digging at dump site did not upset Springfield Twp. wells

Test results from a clutch of Springfield Township wells are in, and the news is good for neighbors who feared that a now-vacated construction project had fouled their water supply. Following the excavation of an old dump site during a residential build, officials from Summit County Public Health and the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency tested nearby wells . The results showed that the wells weren't affected by the refuse, Ohio Department of Health (ODH) representative Ken Gordon said via email. "Ohio EPA sent the results to the Ohio Department of Health and asked us to analyze them," Gordon said. "ODH did so and found no evidence that the well water was impacted." Anthony Chenault, a spokesman for the Ohio EPA, said via email on Nov. 10, that the waste hasn't been identified, but seems to date back to the early 1900s before Ohio EPA regulations were established. "At the request of Summit County Public Health," Chenault said, "the property owner has restored the area with soil cover. This, coupled with the fact private well samples showed no evidence of impacted drinking water, is why Ohio EPA has no plans to remediate the site." Summit County Public Health spokeswoman Dawn Meyers
