Assessment of plant
STRUTHERS -- Environmental assessment of Youngstown Sheet and Tube's former Campbell Works Coke Plant site in the city should be completed by the end of summer, according to Mayor Dan Mamula.
Drilling for monitoring wells at the 46-acre parcel, which is along the Mahoning River and adjacent to Astro Shapes' property, began this week, the mayor said. Results of the data collected from the wells and from borings will determine what cleanup activities must be completed before redevelopment can begin.
A Clean Ohio Assistance Grant is paying for the work, which is being performed by Akron-based Brownfield Restoration Group.
Results of the study will be used to apply for another grant should environmental cleanup be required at the site, Mamula added.
