Health Assessment for Olmsted County Sanitary Landfill, Oronoco Township, Minnesota, Region 5. CERCLIS No. MND000874354

摘要

Olmsted County Sanitary Landfill is listed on the National Priorities List. The landfill is in Olmsted County in southeastern Minnesota and was owned and operated by the City of Rochester. The landfill accepted much hazardous material, including electroplating sludge, asbestos, transformers, and paint and solvents. By 1984, ground water under the landfill was heavily contaminated with leachate from the pile. Representative contamination found in the monitoring wells include 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethylene, trichloroethylene, chloroform, methylene chloride, tetrahydrofuran, methyl ethyl ketone, chloromethane, ethylbenzene, toluene, trans-1,2-dichloroethylene, 1,1-dichloroethylene, 1,2-dichloroethane, dichlorobenzene, benzene, and xylenes. The site is considered to be of potential public health concern because of the risk to human health caused by the possibility of exposure to hazardous substances via the ground water.
