Title: Public health assessment for Refuse Hideaway, Middleton, Dane County, Wisconsin, Region 5. Cerclis No. WID980610604. Final report

Abstract

Refuse Hideaway Landfill is a former landfill located in the Town of Middleton, west of the City of Middleton, in Dane County, Wisconsin. Groundwater around the site is contaminated with low levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which probably originate from the site. Refuse Hideaway Landfill currently poses no apparent public health hazard to nearby residents who obtain their drinking water from private wells. It is estimated no individual was exposed to contaminated groundwater for more than four years. Refuse Hideaway Landfill might pose a future public health hazard to nearby residents if no actions were taken to clean-up the site. Refuse Hideaway Landfill is an indeterminate public health hazard to workers at an adjacent sand and gravel business. In 1990 explosive levels of gas were detected twice in an building at the business and the corrective action was taken to eliminate this potential physical hazard. If gas in the building came from the landfill then those who worked there may have breathed indoor air contaminated with VOCs.
