CLEVELAND STREET

The Ionia City Landfill is a closed 20-acre landfill in the City of Ionia, Ionia County, Michigan. The site is located in the flood plain of the Grand River and operated from the mid-1930s until it closed in 1968 or 1969. During operation mixed residential and industrial wastes, including drummed liquids and solids, were dumped and burned at the site. In 1981, the Michigan Department of Natural Resources confirmed the presence of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in groundwater. Samples of drummed wastes revealed the presence of paint wastes and spent solvents. The Remedial Investigation, completed in 1989, identified a one-quarter-acre area in the northern portion of the site containing approximately 6,000 cubic yards of drummed wastes and contaminated soils. Approximately 6,000 people live within one mile of the site. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposed the site for the National Priorities List (NPL) in December 1982 and finalized the site on the NPL in September 1983.
