KELLY CEMETARY RD

The 14-acre site is located along the Ohio River in a sparsely populated area of Daviess County, Kentucky, near the town of Maceo. Land use in the area ranges from forests to farmland and scattered residential development. The site originally included the former Green River Disposal Inc. landfill and surrounding property. The site currently includes only the landfill and related leachate collection and treatment area. Between 1970 and 1984, operators buried various industrial wastes from nearby industries and businesses at the facility. Operators pushed wastes into ravines and covered them with soil. The facility had a history of leachate outbreaks and underground fires. From 1975 to 1988, the facility held a disposal permit from the Commonwealth of Kentucky. In 1984, the facility closed down. In 1985, state investigators found a contaminated private well next to the site. In 1990, EPA listed the site on the NPL. In 2007 to 2008, Daviess County acquired a large portion of the site for potential use as a park.
