Background
The IEL site is a closed landfill located on Cleveland Avenue in Uniontown, Ohio, about 10 miles southeast of Akron. From 1966 to 1980, the landfill accepted wastes of largely undetermined and unknown composition. The site was placed on the U.S. EPA's National Priorities List in October 1984. The NPL is a list of the nation's top priority hazardous waste sites eligible for investigation and cleanup under the Superfund program.
