Superfund Record of Decision (EPA Region 5): K and L Landfill, Kalamazoo, MI. (First remedial action), September 1990. Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5268830
The 87-acre K and L Landfill site is an inactive municipal landfill in Oshtemo Township, Kalamazoo County, Michigan. Surrounding land use is rural-residential with several nearby small lakes and ponds. The site overlies two sand and gravel aquifers (shallow and deep), which are not apparently hydraulically connected, but both are area drinking water sources. In 1979, the State ordered the landfill to cease operations, to supply an alternate water supply to affected residents, and to cover the landfill. The Record of Decision provides a final remedy and addresses contaminated ground water in the shallow aquifer. The primary contaminants of concern affecting the soil, debris, and ground water are VOCs including benzene, toluene, and xylenes; other organics including acids, PAHs, PCBs, and phenols; and metals including chromium and lead.
