OSTI ID:6602767

Waste Disposal Engineering Inc. Sanitary Landfill (WDE), is an NPL site located 20 miles north of Minneapolis in the City of Andover. The 173-acre site was used to landfill municipal refuse and industrial wastes. Volatile organic compounds and lime sludge are the predominant contaminants present at the landfill. The area immediately around the site is characterized by low density housing, agriculture, and some commercial development. The remedial action proposed in the Record of Decision (ROD) will address Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR's) major health concerns for the site. However, prior to cap completion, there is public health concern regarding inhalation and dermal absorption of lime sludge (particularly to the fugitive dust generated) and vapors, as well as ingestion exposure to the lime sludge.
