FLY ASH LANDFILL (NEW BLDG 400-139)

 

SITE DESCRIPTION

This is an active site, therefore it is not eligible for IRP funds.

The Fly Ash Landfill covers 9.5 acres and has been in operation since 1985. The landfill accepts only fly ash from the coal fired heating plant. The landfill was constructed in accordance with the State of Iowa regulations for coal combustion residue in sanitary landfills. Groundwater monitoring began in 1985 and is funded with non-IRP funds.

The PA/SI was completed in 1991, and the RI was completed in May 1996; no significant contamination was found.

In 2004, a letter was sent to EPA Region VII, RCRA Division, requesting concurrence with Army's recommedation for no further action.

Any future activities will be addressed with non-ER,A funds.

This site was transferred to the Compliance Cleanup Program and is considered Response Complete by the IRP.
