Public health assessment for master disposal service landfill, Brookfield, Waukesha County, Wisconsin, Region 5. Cerclis No. WID980820070. Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5138177
The Master Disposal Service Landfill (MDSL) accepted industrial wastes from 1962 to 1982. The wastes were placed in a 26-acre wetland area and were confined by surrounding berms. Groundwater, surface water, soil and sediments have been contaminated with volatile organic compounds and metals. The remedial investigation of the landfill identified a plume of contaminated groundwater extending from beneath the site to approximately 675 feet southwest of the site. There is no evidence of human exposure. The site is of no apparent public health hazard at the present time. However, this could change if no remediation of contaminated groundwater occurs.
