Health assessment for Master Disposal Service Landfill, Waukesha County, Brookfield, Wisconsin, Region 5. CERCLIS No. WID980820070. Preliminary report
The Master Disposal Service Landfill is listed on the National Priorities List. The site is located on the western edge of Brookfield in Waukesha County, Wisconsin. From 1962 to 1982, Master Disposal Service, Inc. operated a 40-acre landfill and filled a 26-acre wetland area by accepting in excess of 1.5 million gallons of industrial wastes. The wastes included solvents, paint products, adhesives, oils, and foundry wastes. State sampling established that ground water near the site is contaminated by chromium, lead, phenols, and PCBs. Based on the available information, the site is considered to be of potential public health concern because of the risk to human health caused by the possibility of exposure to hazardous substances via contaminated ground water, surface water, soil and air.
