Abstract |
The 45-acre Lemberger Transport and Recycling (LTR) site is a former land disposal facility in Manitowoc County, Wisconsin. The site is located within one-quarter mile of the 45-acre Lemberger Landfill (LL) 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. Reports of contaminated material seeping onto local properties prompted State investigations that revealed VOCs in residential wells in excess of State standards. Because of the similarity of contamination and proximity of the sites, the LTR and LL sites will be addressed concurrently. The Record of Decision (RoD) provides a final remedy for ground water contamination at both the LTR and LL sites, as the first Operable Unit (OUI). The primary contaminants of concern affecting the 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. |
