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

secretary for environmental management.
