From 1948 until 1980, the 25-acre United Scrap Lead (USL) Co., Inc. site, located in the city of Troy, Concord Township, Miami County, Ohio, was used to reclaim lead batteries. An estimated 32,000 cubic yards of crushed battery cases were generated and used as fill material. The battery acid and the rinse water were disposed of onsite. Beginning in 1972, the acid was neutralized with ammonia prior to discharge onsite. In 1974, the state recommended implementing a more effective onsite treatment system. USL did not implement the suggested treatment because operations ceased, and the facility was closed shortly thereafter. The USL site was proposed for listing on the National Priorities List (NPL) of hazardous waste sites on September 8, 1983, and was made final on the NPL on September 21, 1984. There are about 20,000 people who live in the area of the site. the city of Troy's water supply is furnished by a well located approximately two miles up gradient of the site.
