The U.S. EPA's Superfund program includes the contaminated Valley Pike VOCs site in Riverside. Groundwater testing may soon identify more homes and businesses eligible for free environmental testing.

Dayton's first utility-scale solar project will bring new life to a site that hasn't been used since the Sherwin Williams warehouse fire in 1987.

The U.S. EPA declared the Donnelsville, Ohio, aquifer a Superfund site because of its contamination, but residents are still connected to wells recharged by that aquifer. The current solution of putting filtration systems on wells isn’t sustainable.

Tremont City Barrel Fill was used as a landfill for industrial waste from 1976 to 1979. It’s only three miles from Springfield’s drinking water wellfields and a few miles from two waterways. The testing will give insight into whether contamination is spreading off-site.

Climate change is fueling more frequent wildfires and a longer wildfire season in the Western U.S. and Canada. And the smoke from those flames are drifting to the Midwest, affecting air quality here in Ohio.

Firefighters are still addressing hot spots and flare ups more than three days after the fire began, the EPA says. The Richmond Fire Department has informed the EPA that PFAS (forever chemical) -free foam was used to suppress remaining hot spots.

PFAS, or forever chemicals are extremely difficult to break down so they stick around for a long time in water, soil and the human body. Prolonged exposure to them can have negative health effects according to the CDC.

Republican lawmakers say the legislation that removes ephemeral streams as protected waterways will create more certainty for developers and puts Ohio on par with federal regulations.
