Superfund Record of Decision (EPA region 5): Spiegelberg, Green Oak Township, Livingston County, Michigan, September 1986. Final report

Technical Report · Tue Sep 30 00:00:00 EDT 1986

OSTI ID:6328494

The Spiegelberg site was used for the disposal of domestic waste, with the main disposal area located in an abandoned sand and gravel pit in the northern third of the site. Paint sludge was dumped near the surface water portion of the gravel pit. Organic contaminants were detected in onsite and downgradient monitoring wells, indicating the migration of these contaminants from the site into the ground water. The primary contaminants of concern include: VOCs, organics, inorganics, base/neutral compounds, TCE, toluene, xylene, and metals. Selected remedial action for the site includes: excavation of 15,000 cubic yards of waste material which will be separated into liquid and solid sludges and paint residue with garbage intermixed; offsite incineration of approximately 5,000 cubic yards of the excavated waste material; and disposal of the remaining 10,000 cubic yards of waste into a RCRA landfill.
