Thisrequest was submitted by Mr. Randy Bishop and Shaw Environmental, Inc., on behalf ofThe Former Koch Materials, LLC.

Pursuant to Ohio Administrative Code 3745-300-10(D), Ohio’s Voluntary Action Program(VAP) allows for the voluntary cleanup of contaminated property in Ohio without the riskof state civil liability.
