HUNTERS MTN RD

The Laurel Park, Inc. site is a landfill that occupies approximately 20 acres of a 35-acre parcel of land. The landfill has been in existence since the late 1940s, and several industries disposed of solvents, oils, hydrocarbons, chemical and liquid sludge, chemical solids, tires, and rubber products there. The facility continued to operate as a municipal landfill until 1987. The centrally developed portion of the Town of Naugatuck, which has an estimated population of 26,500 people, is located approximately 1 mile northeast of the site. Homes are located around three sides of the landfill. Approximately 50 homes are located within a 1/4-mile radius of the site, with the closest residents located approximately 1,000 feet from the site. The nearest homes used groundwater from private wells as a drinking water source, but have since been connected to the public water supply. The homes at the bottom of Huntington Hill, downslope of the landfill, are served by a public water supply line. Most of the area immediately bordering the site is forested.
