WAVERLY, Ohio — State environmental regulators are seeking public comment on a request to modify long-term monitoring and financial assurance requirements at the former Parker Hannifin manufacturing site in Pike County.
The Ohio Environmental Protection Agency said it received a Resource Conservation and Recovery Act post-closure plan modification request on Feb. 4 for the former Parker Hannifin Corporation facility at 11197 U.S. Route 23 in Waverly.
The request seeks to update financial assurance documentation as part of a separate proposal to extend the site’s post-closure care period by 10 years, through June 30, 2035. The original 30-year post-closure period began around June 1995 and concluded in June 2025, according to documents submitted to the agency.
Since the facility’s closure, the property has been redeveloped. A Walmart Supercenter was constructed over the former site, and an ALDI store is also being built at the location.
Under the extension request, corrective action monitoring would continue under existing Ohio EPA-approved plans, including groundwater monitoring and maintenance of environmental controls. The modification request outlines updated procedures to ensure financial resources remain available to cover monitoring and corrective actions during the extended post-closure period.
Ohio EPA has opened a public comment period on the proposed modification and extension request. Written comments must be submitted by March 27, 2026, and should reference the Parker Hannifin post-closure plan modification request. Comments may be emailed to Publiccomment@epa.ohio.gov.
