Technical Report · Wed Jul 15 00:00:00 EDT 1992

OSTI ID:7174960

The Delta Quarries/Stotler Landfill is a National Priorities List (NPL) site located approximately two miles north of Altoona in Antis and Logan Townships, Blair County, Pennsylvania. The site is an inactive, unpermitted municipal waste disposal facility which was closed in 1987. Previously, the site consisted of two separate landfills, the Stotler Landfill and the Parshall-Kruise Landfill. Ground water was found to be contaminated with volatile organic compounds and metals. The majority of the homes within a one-mile radius of the site rely on private wells for their drinking water. Of these wells, only about five are located within 500 feet downgradient from the site. In the past, nearby residents were concerned about potential exposure to site contaminants through their well water. Environmental media associated with the site appear minimally affected by the landfill. There is no known public health risk, at this time, associated with the landfill and the site represents no apparent public health hazard.
