The 20-acre Lewisburg Dump site includes a 4-acre abandoned landfill developed in an abandoned 6-acre limestone quarry in Lewisburg, Marshall County, Tennessee. The municipally-owned and operated site began landfilling operations between 1963 and 1969, and a variety of residential and industrial wastes, including solvents and metallic wastes were landfilled onsite. In 1977, the State approved plans for interim maintenance and final closure of the dump. In 1977, the waste was covered with soil as part of the preliminary closure activities. The Record of Decision (ROD) addresses the contaminated soil and debris present at the site in the landfill and in the quarry pond, and provides for protection of the ground water, and sediment from further contamination. The primary contaminants of concern affecting the soil and debris are organics including bis(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP); and metals including aluminum, barium, copper, zinc, and manganese.
