The Delaware Sand and Gravel Landfill is an inactive industrial waste landfill located in New Castle County, Delaware. The 27-acre site is approximately two miles southwest of the City of New Castle on Grantham Lane, west of Route 9, and less than one mile east of the intersections of Routes 13 and 40. Wastes are located in four smaller areas on the property. The smaller areas are referred to as the Drum Disposal, Inert Disposal, Ridge, and Grantham South areas. Wastes disposed on site include household and construction waste and approximately 7,000 drums containing industrial liquids and sludges. Since no significant air or surface water and sediment contamination was detected, it was determined no risks were posed by these media. The following three areas were found to present potential risk to the public health and the environment: risk posed by groundwater ingestion; and soil ingestion, inhalation and dermal contact; and site access. Selective remedial action is outlined.
