Ohio River Park is a Superfund Site located in Neville Island, Pennsylvania. Between the 1920s-1970s, the Site was used for municipal waste, pesticide manufacturing, coke sludge disposal, cement manufacturing disposal, and pesticide waste.[1] In 1977, Neville Land Company donated the Site to Allegheny County who started developing the Site as a community park.[1] In 1979, Allegheny County found various hazardous contaminants on the Site.[2] On August 30, 1990, the Site was determined to be a Superfund Site[1] due to VOCs, SVOCs, inorganics, and pesticides being present in the surface soil, subsurface soil, surface water, river sediment, and groundwater.[2] Soil remediation began in February 1998 and ended in September 1999.[1] Today, Ohio River Park has the Robert Morris University Island Sports Center and Coraopolis Bridge on top of it. Additionally, benzene continues to be monitored because it is still present in the Site's groundwater.[3]
