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

OSTI ID:5317874

The 252-acre Pine Bend site is an active sanitary landfill that began operation in 1971. In 1984, the site was listed on the National Priorities List because of ground water contamination. Landfill records indicate that the landfill receives an estimated 28% commercial/industrial wastes and 72% residential wastes. Twenty-seven volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (total carcinogenic PAHs) have been identified in ground water from the surficial aquifer. The site is considered to be a potential public health concern because of the risk to human health caused by the possibility of exposure to hazardous substances via ground water.
