1. SITE DESCRIPTION

The Luckey site is located at the corner of Gilbert and Luckey Roads at 21200 Luckey Road, northwest of the Village of Luckey in Wood County, Ohio. The Village of Luckey is 22 miles southwest of Toledo, Ohio. The site encompasses approximately 40 acres and contains a large production building and warehouse, two abandoned rail spurs, and several smaller process and support buildings. The surrounding area west, north, and east of the site is primarily residential farmland.

The site was used for beryllium processing in support of the national defense program from 1949 to 1961. Beryl ore (beryllium aluminum silicate); scrap beryllium; and radiologically contaminated scrap metal were brought to the site during this period. Records also indicate that beryllium scrap from other operations was sent to the site that might have been radiologically contaminated.

In 1961 the General Services Administration sold the site to a privately owned company with the government retaining access rights in order to remove any remaining beryllium ore. The property changed ownership several times since 1961 and the most recent transaction involved sale of the property from Hayes Lemmerz International, Inc. (HLI) to Industrial Properties Recovery, LLC (IPR). IPR refused to close on the sale and was sued by HLI, who was granted a default judgment transferring the title (quit claim deed) to IPR, including all environmental liability. The site / facilities are not currently being used.

The Luckey site is included in the FUSRAP. Contaminants of concern include beryllium, lead, radium-226, thorium-230, uranium-234, and uranium-238 in soils, sediments, fill materials, other miscellaneous debris, and groundwater.

Remediation services are currently being performed on site by North Wind Portage.
