Pollution & Cleanup
Superfund is a word that does heavy lifting on your nerves, so start with what this page is: a statewide screening list, not an address check, and a site somewhere in Ohio does not mean a particular home is affected. Ohio's cleanup history sits in the old industrial heartland, shaped at a broad level by heavy manufacturing, steel, and chemical production along its long-running industrial corridors. The Ohio EPA serves as the state-side partner to the federal EPA's program. When evaluating an address, the list below is worth reviewing as orientation, and the calm next step is a property-specific look rather than reading a statewide map as a ruling on your neighborhood.
For cleanup work, the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (Ohio EPA) is the state-side partner to the federal EPA's Superfund program and the National Priorities List referenced below. The Ohio EPA also runs its own state remediation and voluntary-cleanup efforts for contaminated properties outside the federal list. On PFAS at contaminated sites, Ohio tends to operate within the federal framework the agency administers rather than a separate state cleanup standard, so the records here largely reflect that shared federal-and-state arrangement.
From EPA's National Priorities List, filtered to sites with confirmed PFAS contamination. EPA's broader Superfund/SEMS inventory is larger and includes non-PFAS and assessment-stage sites.

VetMyAddress maps nearby EPA Superfund/NPL sites and grades the address A–F alongside its water, PFAS, flood, and air data.
If Ohio shows no PFAS-confirmed Superfund sites below, take it as encouraging without overreading it. It is not a full all-clear. The Ohio EPA's broader SEMS inventory tracks many sites for contamination unrelated to PFAS, and confirmation reflects what has been tested and reported so far. The agency keeps investigating, so an empty PFAS-confirmed list describes the current record rather than guaranteeing a clean slate across the state.
A site appearing on this page means EPA has confirmed PFAS contamination at a National Priorities List Superfund site somewhere in Ohio. It is a statewide screening list. It does not tell you the distance from any specific home, the exposure pathway, or whether the local drinking-water system is affected.
For a specific property, the things that actually matter are:
That address-level synthesis — nearest-site distance plus the home's full environmental profile in one A–F grade — is what the VetMyAddress report is for.
Cleanup is co-managed. The federal EPA runs the Superfund program and the National Priorities List, while the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency serves as the state-side partner and runs its own remediation and voluntary-cleanup efforts for sites outside the federal list.
Ohio has sites tracked under the federal Superfund program, and the table above reflects what the public records currently show. A site on a statewide list does not by itself mean a specific nearby home is affected; distance, contamination type, cleanup stage, and water source all factor in.
The Ohio Environmental Protection Agency is the state's environmental agency and the state-side partner to the federal EPA on contaminated-site cleanup. If you landed here looking for the state office behind remediation and Superfund work, this is it.
Our curated EPA dataset lists 11 PFAS-confirmed Superfund (NPL) sites in Ohio, including Buckeye Reclamation, Chemical Recovery Systems, Dover Chemical Corp.. EPA's full Superfund inventory (including non-PFAS and assessment-stage sites) is larger — a specific-address report checks all SEMS sites near the property.
Proximity is a starting point, not a verdict. Real-world impact depends on distance, the type of contamination, the exposure pathway (groundwater, soil, vapor), the home's water source, and the cleanup stage. A site two miles away marked 'construction complete' is very different from an active site next door.
Use VetMyAddress to see EPA Superfund/NPL sites near any Ohio address, bundled with the home's drinking water, PFAS, flood zone, and air-quality data in a single plain-English A–F grade. EPA's own ECHO database (echo.epa.gov) is the free, official source if you prefer to dig through the raw records.
It means PFAS ('forever chemicals') have been documented in the contamination at that National Priorities List site. PFAS is persistent and can migrate through groundwater, so a confirmed PFAS site is worth pairing with the home's drinking-water and PFAS data to understand the exposure pathway.
