Superfund Record of Decision (EPA Region 5): Oak Grove Sanitary Landfill, Anoka County, MN. (Second remedial action), December 1990. Final report
The 45-acre Oak Grove Sanitary Landfill is a former municipal and industrial solid waste landfill in Oak Grove Township, Anoka County, Minnesota. A 1988 Record of Decision (ROD) addressed the sources of contamination by containing the onsite waste and contaminated soil with a cover. EPA investigations in 1989 determined that the contaminated shallow aquifer discharges directly to the surface water of the adjoining wetlands where ground water contamination is being reduced by natural attenuation, and thus, limiting migration of contaminants to the surface water. The selected remedial action for the site includes long term monitoring of the shallow and deep aquifers, surface water, and sediment at a frequency of three times per year for the first year and semi-annually thereafter; natural attenuation of shallow ground water; abandoning non-essential wells; and implementing institutional controls including ground water use restrictions.
