Technical Report · Thu Aug 25 04:00:00 EDT 1994

OSTI ID:6951436

The Duell and Gardner Landfill site was listed on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (U.S. EPA) National Priorities List (NPL) on September 8, 1993. The site, located in rural Dalton Township, Muskegon County, Michigan, was used from the mid-1940s until 1973 as a municipal landfill that also received industrial wastes. Crystal violet, aniline, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, and other chemicals have been found in the groundwater at the site. Approximately 500 drums in various stages of deterioration, hundreds of lab bottles, areas of refuse and debris, and piles of lime were reported to be on the site in 1984. During March 1986, some of the drums, lab bottles and piled wastes were removed from the site. The site poses no apparent public health hazard under current conditions. Unless remedial actions are taken, contaminants in the groundwater may reach a point of exposure in the future.
