U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region 5 will hold a public meeting to discuss the pollution study of the Armco Hamilton Superfund site in New Miami, Ohio.

EPA is holding the meeting to discuss the study that site owner AK Steel is conducting to identify the types and amounts of contamination in the soil, mud (sediment), and surface and underground water on and near the former industrial site. The study, which EPA will oversee, will also evaluate human health and environmental risks (if any) posed by the pollution, which is mainly waste from years of steel production. Information gathered in the study will be published by EPA in a document called a remedial investigation report.

The site consists of about 252 acres divided between two pieces of property north and south of Augspurger Road in New Miami. It was the former location of a facility that once produced iron for steelmaking.

The meeting will be held at the Lane Public Library in Hamilton at 6 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 24.
