Superfund Record of Decision (EPA Region 3): Novak Sanitary Landfill, Lehigh County, PA, September 1993
This decision document presents the selected remedial action for the Novak Sanitary Landfill Site (the 'Site'), South Whitehall Township, Lehigh County, Pennsylvania. The remedial action selected for the Site is a final remedy which will address the principle threat and reduce risk to human health and the environment caused by the unlined landfill. To achieve this objective, the selected remedy will: (1) ensure containment of the landfill contents, (2) provide long term monitoring of ground water for residences adjacent to the Site that are utilizing the ground water for drinking water; (3) mitigate the continued release of contaminants leaching from the landfill to the aquifer; (4) control the migration of combustible gases such as methane, (5) ensure landfill contaminants in the Site's surface storm-water and leachate drainages outside the proposed landfill cap are either not of environmental risk or contained by the proposed cap.
