EPA completed a thorough study in 2019 (PDF) (422 pp, 63.05MB, About PDF)  of the Lemberger Landfill and Lemberger Transport & Recycling (LTR) Superfund sites.

Based on the results, EPA proposes to change:

• the groundwater cleanup for both sites from extracting and treating contaminated groundwater to a process called “monitored natural attenuation” for the remaining groundwater contamination
• the cleanup for the LTR waste materials, from “no further action” to requiring that  controls are put in place to prevent future risk
• the groundwater cleanup standards for some of the sites’ contaminants of concern

This proposed plan (PDF)(28 pp, 2.28MB About PDF) will protect people and the environment, comply with state and federal regulations, be easily implemented, be effective in the long-term, and be cost-effective.

Comments on the proposed plan will be accepted from Oct. 12 – Nov. 11.
