Superfund Explanation of Significant Difference for the Record of Decision (EPA Region 5): Kohler Company Landfill, Kohler, WI, September 29, 1998

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6334667

This Explanation of Significant Differences (ESD) is for the Kohler Company Landfill located near the Village of Kohler, Wisconsin. The purpose of this ESD is to clarify the scope of the actions outlined in the 1992 ROD. The 1992 ROD required a multilayer cap to be constructed in phases over the landfill. The work called for in the 1992 ROD has been completed over the lower half of the landfill, especially on portions of the landfill that exhibited seepage and unstable slopes. The old hazardous waste disposal areas within the waste mass that have not yet received final cover have been covered with non-hazardous solid and/or interim cover. Consequently, there is no exposed hazardous waste. The active portion of the landfill will remain open until the facility achieves its final grade as specified in the approved State closure plan and will then be closed subject to State closure rules under chapters NR 500-520, Wisconsin Administrative Code.
