The Kohler Company Landfill is west of the Village of Kohler in Sheboygan County, Wisconsin. The Kohler Company Landfill has been in operation since the 1950s, primarily for the disposal of foundry and manufacturing wastes. Groundwater is contaminated with vinyl chloride (2-4,000 ppb), 1,1 dichloroethane (310-19,000 ppb), trans-1,2-dichloroethane (5-880 ppb), 1,1,1 trichloroethane (ND-2300 ppb), trichloroethene (1-54,000 ppb), toulene (ND-1500 ppb), chloroethane (2-710 ppb), phenol (14-890 ppb), bis(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (3-130 ppb), arsenic (1.4-35 ppb), barium (32-165 ppb), cadmium (2-11 ppb), chromium (10-208 ppb), nickel (33-203 ppb), lead (1.1-158 ppb) and copper (20- 74 ppb). Based on the available information, 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 groundwater, leachate and its sediments, surface water and the food chain.
