Technical Report · Wed Jun 03 00:00:00 EDT 1992

OSTI ID:6898509

The 10-acre Spickler Landfill site is an inactive municipal and industrial landfill located in Spencer, Marathon County, Wisconsin. The site consists of a mercury brine pit and two fill areas called the Old and New Fill Areas. In 1974, the state ordered the owners of the site to terminate operations and close the landfill. The ROD provides a final remedy for the first operable unit (OU1), which consists of the mercury brine pit, and the landfill. The primary contaminants of concern affecting the soil and sludge are VOCs, including benzene, PCE, toluene, and xylenes; other organics, including pesticides; metals, including arsenic, chromium, and lead; and other inorganics, including asbestos. The selected remedial action for the operable unit includes solidifying and/or stabilizing wastes in the mercury brine pit based on treatability test results, followed by installing and maintaining an impermeable and a solid waste cap over the New and Old Fill areas.
