Soil clean up
in Parma

A view to the west of the earth removal going on at the corner of Manitou and Frisbee Hill Road. According to Project Manager Jon F. Heerkens, an engineering geologist, "The officials in Parma could not make a decision (about soil remediation on a Parma site), so the contaminated soil is going to the Mill Seat Landfill at a price of about four times what remediation would have cost. What we are doing is cleaning up after about 90 years of gasoline storage and spillage." A new gasoline station should be operating this summer. Photograph by Walter Horylev.
