Krejci Dump, Industrial landfill in Summit County, US.
Krejci Dump is a former landfill in Summit County, Ohio, now designated as a federal Superfund site under environmental oversight. The property is divided into separate management zones where soil contamination and potential pollutant spread are continuously tracked.
The site operated as a dumping ground for municipal and industrial waste from the 1950s through the early 1980s. After closure, documented soil and water contamination led to its placement on the national Superfund list, triggering a federally managed cleanup process.
Krejci Dump sits within Cuyahoga Valley National Park, making it one of the few Superfund sites located inside a national park in the United States. Hikers on nearby trails may notice fenced-off areas and monitoring equipment as visible signs of the ongoing cleanup work.
The site is closed to the public because active remediation work is still underway. Anyone interested in the current cleanup status can find updated reports through federal environmental agencies.
Several major automobile manufacturers were identified as responsible parties and contributed substantial funds toward the cleanup. This case became an early example of industrial companies being held directly liable for the costs of remediating a contaminated site.
