| Abstract |
The Janesville Ash Beds site is being remediated concurrently with the Janesville Old Landfill site and two nearby, non-NPL sites, the Janesville Old Dump and the Janesville New Landfill sites. These four sites comprise the 65-acre Janesville Disposal Facility (JDF) in Janesville, Wisconsin. The Janesville Ash Beds (JAB) site, which is RCRA regulated, operated from 1974 to 1985 and consisted of five ash beds in which industrial liquids and sludges were deposited and allowed to evaporate or dry. The 16-acre Janesville New Landfill site was operated from 1978 to 1985 and accepted municipal and industrial wastes. The second additional site is the 15-acre Janesville Old Dump site which was operated from 1950 to 1963 as a general refuse dump. The primary contaminants of concern affecting the ground water and air are VOCs including benzene, PCE, and TCE; and metals including arsenic. Remedial activities at the JDF site will be implemented at three of the sites and include upgrading the landfill cap, and providing site drainage as needed, at the JAB site; treating the landfill gas by extraction and flaring, upgrading the landfill cap, and air monitoring at the Old Landfill site. |
