Technical Report · Thu Mar 03 04:00:00 EST 1994

OSTI ID:7284437

The City Disposal Corporation Landfill, also known as the Dunn Landfill, operated from 1966 to 1977. When the site was abandoned, it was capped with soil from the site and vegetated. The existing cap allows rainwater to infiltrate the wastes and carry contaminants to the groundwater. Groundwater at the site is contaminated with volatile organic compounds. Contaminated groundwater has migrated a short distance off-site. Drums of investigative wastes stored on the top of the site may present a physical hazard, or an exposure risk if opened. The potential for future exposure to contaminated groundwater poses a public health hazard. Future exposures to contaminated groundwater are possible if contaminants move into private wells.
