Background
The 95-acre Allied Chemical and Ironton Coke site lies on the banks of the Ohio River near the point where the Ohio , Kentucky and West Virginia borders converge. The facility produced a number of products during its 83-year history including crude tar, coke, light oil, ammonia, creosote, pitch and naphthalene. The result of operations and waste disposal practices was extensive contamination of soil, sediment (mud) in nearby Ice Creek and ground water. The site was placed on EPA's National Priorities List in 1983. (more...)
