EPA review clears Arlington sewer replacement project in Toledo, Ohio
(UI) — The Ohio Environmental Protection Agency has determined that the City of Toledo’s Arlington sewer replacement project will have no significant environmental impact, allowing construction to continue on an emergency infrastructure repair.
The project addresses a collapsed 48-inch sewer line and associated sinkholes along Arlington Avenue. Funded through a nearly $8 million low-interest loan from the Ohio Water Pollution Control Loan Fund, construction began in July 2025 and is expected to be completed by August 2026.
According to the agency’s Limited Environmental Review, the work qualifies as a routine replacement within an existing sewer system and will be confined to a previously disturbed roadway corridor. The review found no impacts to wetlands, floodplains or endangered species.
Officials also noted the project will not increase system capacity, wastewater discharge or development, and does not require environmental mitigation measures.
The replacement is intended to restore system reliability and reduce the risk of future failures and potential wastewater exposure.
