Hoovering the Hoover District, North Canton, Ohio

May, 2017

The Hoover Company manufactured vacuum cleaners in North Canton, Ohio, for decades, leaving behind a wealth of subsurface contamination, including tetrachloroethylene (PCE) and tri-chloroethylene (TCE). Now the current owner, under supervision from U.S. EPA’s RCRA (Resource Conservation and Recovery Act) program, is beginning a series of cleanup measures that include what is essentially the vacuum cleaning of toxic vapors from the subsurface. However, the community is being given little information about the investigation and the proposed response.
