ASHTABULA TOWNSHIP - - Clean up is complete at the former RMI plant at 1601 E. 21st St., just east of Route 11, officials at Lata-Sharp Remediation Services and the Ohio Department of Health said Friday.
Since 1998, about $139 million was spent to clean up this seven-acre site. RMI owns 13 of 25 buildings and the Department of Energy owns the remaining 12.
The site supported titanium extrusion operations from 1962 to 1988 for the Department of Energy defense programs.
"There was radioactive contamination left behind," said Clyde Gaston, spokesman for Lata-Sharp. "We removed soil and buildings, but there's still a lot of work to finish up, including paperwork."
This is the Department of Energy's third cleanup this year in Ohio, according to James Rispoli, the Department of Energy's assistant secretary for environmental management.
"The Ashtabula site will be returned to beneficial commercial reuse in Ohio," he said. "This is another example of the department's commitment to safely clean up it's Cold War-era nuclear waste sites across the country."
Lata-Sharp was awarded the contract in September 2005 and work began three months later. The Department of Energy's goal was to return this site to it's owner, RMI Titanium Company, once all regulatory requirements were done.
Throughout the past 10 months, Lata-Sharp excavated more than 1 million cubic feet of low level and mixed low level waste from the site, removed all contaminated underground utilities, and demolished more than a dozen contaminated structures, company officials said.
Bret Atkins of the Ohio Department of Health on Friday confirmed that the physical clean-up of the site is complete.
