Waste Disposal Engineering Inc. Sanitary Landfill, is an NPL site located in the City of Andover. The 173-acre site was used to landfill municipal refuse and industrial wastes. Volatile organic compounds and lime sludge are the predominant contaminants present at the landfill. Exposure pathways for the site are the following: ingestion of surface water, groundwater, sediment, and lime sludge; inhalation of dusts and vapors generated on-site; and dermal exposure to surface water, sediment, lime sludge, groundwater, and exposed waste. The remedial action proposed will address major health concerns for the site. There is public health concern regarding inhalation and dermal absorption of lime sludge (particularly to the fugitive dust generated) and vapors, as well as ingestion exposure to the lime sludge.
