Technical Report · Wed Mar 31 04:00:00 EST 1993

OSTI ID:6475154

Fultz Landfill, placed on the National Priorities List (NPL) in 1982, is in Guernsey County, Ohio, 0.5 miles north of Byesville, Ohio. The landfill is a privately owned, former sanitary landfill which reportedly accepted hazardous waste. State and local involvement at the site started in 1968. The landfill ceased operations in 1985. Disposal of hazardous waste at the Fultz Landfill site contaminated the soil, leachate, surface water, sediments, and groundwater. On-site groundwater contains very high concentrations of arsenic, barium, chromium, and lead. Groundwater on-site also contains vinyl chloride, and polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons. The Fultz Landfill site is considered a public health hazard because of the potential impact on drinking water sources in the surrounding area. The public should be restricted from entering the landfill. There are no indications humans have been or are being exposed to on-site and/or off-site contaminants. Therefore, the site is not being considered for follow-up activities at this time.
