Title: Superfund Record of Decision (EPA Region 5): Stoughton City Landfill site, Stoughton, WI. (First remedial action), September 1991. Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7277392

The 27-acre Stoughton City Landfill site is a former waste disposal facility in Stoughton, Dane County, Wisconsin. The site was an uncontrolled dump site from 1952 to 1969, and later from 1969 to 1977 operated as a State-licensed landfill covering approximately 15 acres. As a result of improper disposal activities, a number of investigations were conducted by the State and EPA that revealed ground water contamination resulting from leachate discharge and surface water runoff from the landfill. The Record of Decision (ROD) addresses soil and ground water contaminated by leaching landfilled waste. The primary contaminants of concern affecting the soil, debris, and ground water are VOCs including benzene, tetrahydrofurans (THF), toluene, and xylenes; other organics including PAHs; and metals including arsenic, chromium, and lead. The selected remedial action for the site is included.
