The Milford Contaminated Aquifer site is located in the city of Milford, Ohio, located approximately fifteen miles northeast of Cincinnati, Ohio. The site is a groundwater plume contaminated with chlorinated solvents in the area of Main Street and Lila Avenue. The city of Milford obtains its drinking water from a well field consisting of four wells in the aquifer containing this groundwater plume. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were first detected in the Milford public wells in 1986. Despite several investigations by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency, the source of contamination was not found and the state referred the site to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Milford's well field serves 6,000 people. The City of Milford installed and maintains an air stripper to remove the VOCs from treated water. Site Responsibility The site is being addressed as an EPA fund-lead investigation with consultation from the Ohio EPA.
