OSTI ID:5155193

The Greenacres Landfill site is on the National Priorities List. The site is a 90-acre, rural-burning landfill that was closed in 1968. On-site contamination, determined by on-site ground water monitoring wells, consists of trans-1,2-dichloroethylene (41 ppb), chloroform (0.2 ppb), trichloroethylene (2 ppb), benzene (0.6 ppb), tetrachloroethylene (9 ppb), toluene (0.7 ppb), 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (3 ppb), 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid (0.6 ppb), chromium (37 ppb), manganese (210 ppb), zinc (2,380 ppb), lead (67 ppb), barium 175 ppb, magnesium (18 ppb), and mercury (4 ppb). 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 the movement of contaminated ground water into an aquifer used as a public water source.
