| Abstract |
The 45-acre Lemberger Landfill (LL) site is a former land disposal facility in Manitowoc County, Wisconsin. The site is located within one-quarter mile of another Superfund site, the 45-acre Lemberger Transport and Recycling (LTR) site. Ground water as well as the Branch River, located less than 1 mile west of both sites, are used as sources of drinking water. As a result of reports of contaminated material seeping onto local properties, a number of State investigations were conducted that identified VOCs levels above State standards in residential wells. Because of the proximity of the sites and similarity in the types of wastes, the LL and LTR sites will be remediated concurrently. The Record of Decision (ROD) provides a final remedy for source contamination at the LL site and ground water contamination at both the LL and LTR sites, as the first operable unit (OU1). The primary contaminants of concern affecting the soil, sediment, debris, and ground water are VOCs including PCE, TCE, toluene, and xylenes; other organics including PCBs and pesticides; and metals including arsenic, chromium, and lead. The selected remedial action for both sites are included. |
