History Of Valleycrest Landfill
The Valleycrest Landfill Site is roughly 100 acres. Formally listed at 950 Brandt Pike, the site is above the Great Miami Aquifer.
In the 1930s Keystone Gravel Company of Dayton bought the site. In the beginning the site was used as a sand and gravel quarry; until 1966 it became a solid waste disposal site. Between the years of 1970 and 1975, the eastern and western sections of the site became filled with drums of hazardous waste and waste disposal. The eastern section became known as Area 1, where the hazardous waste was held. The western section became known as Area 5, where the waste disposal was held.
The site was placed on the National Priorities List in 1994. A year later, Ohio EPA Southwest District Office took charge of overseeing the process on cleaning up the site, known as a Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study (RI/FS).
On September 10, 1998, a group of 10 companies signed a legal document called an Administrative Order on Consent. They took the name Valleycrest Drum Removal Action Group. The member of the groups included: Bendix, Blaylock Trucking Corporation, Danis Industries Corporation, DAP/Roberts Consolidated, Dayton Industrial Drum, Gayston Corporation, General Motors Corporation, NCR Corporation, North Sanitary Landfill Corporation, and Industrial Waste Management.
