wayne waste oil

DANIEL DR PO BOX 467

Wayne Waste Oil, a division of Wayne Reclamation and Recycling, Inc., deposited about one million gallons of oil related wastes on this 35 acre site from 1975 to 1980. During the company's period of operation, oil wastes were disposed of onsite by dumping them on surface soils, into unlined pits, and into a trench. The site contained opened, leaking drums, waste areas covered with sands, and disposal ponds. The Indiana State Board of Health investigated the facility in 1980 and found that hazardous wastes were illegally deposited; the owner was ordered to clean up the site. The area surrounding the site is used for residential, industrial, and commercial purposes. The population of Columbia City, Indiana was estimated to be 5,100 in 1988. Site Responsibility This site is being addressed through federal, state, and potentially responsible parties' actions.
