Technical Report · Tue Jun 27 04:00:00 EDT 1989

OSTI ID:5310188

Freeway Sanitary Landfill (FSL) is listed on the National Priorities List. The site, approximately 100 acres, is located in northwestern Dakota County. FSL has operated as a sanitary landfill since 1969 and has been permitted by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency since October 1971. On-site ground water sampling results indicate that volatile organic compounds are the contaminants of concern. Metals (arsenic, chromium, copper, cadmium, and nickel) have been detected in on-site ground-water samples. 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 use of contaminated ground-water.
