Public health assessment for Pine Bend Sanitary Landfill, Inver Grove Heights, Dakota County, Minnesota, Region 5. CERCLIS No. MND000245795. Final report
The Pine Bend Sanitary Landfill (PBSL) and the Crosby American Demolition Landfill (CADL) are adjacent to one another, and are considered as a single site (PBSL/CADL site) on Minnesota's Permanent List of Priorities (Superfund) List. Based on the direction of groundwater flow and the results of groundwater sampling, The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, the Minnesota Department of Health, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency have determined that the contaminated groundwater is moving, and will continue to move, into the 'impact' area east of the PBSL/CADL site. Based on these observations and other site-specific information, the MDH has concluded that the PBSL/CADL site poses a hazard to the public's health because of past and present exposure to low concentrations of multiple volatile organic compounds via ingestion, inhalation, or dermal contact with contaminated groundwater from private wells east of the PBSL/CADL site. The Pine Bend Sanitary Landfill site has been evaluated for follow-up health activities.
