rasmussen's dump

9040 SPICER RD

The Rasmussen's Dump (Rasmussen) Superfund site is located in a rural area on Spicer Road in Green Oak Township, Livingston County, Michigan, 40 miles west of Detroit and about 1.5 miles northeast of Hamburg. The unlicensed dump had accepted domestic and industrial wastes for disposal during the 1960s and early 1970s. Drummed and other industrial wastes were also disposed of at other locations on site. The dump was never properly capped and "closed" prior to termination of operations. Sand and gravel mining, which began after closure in 1972, undermined the landfill and resulted in the redistribution of fill and drummed wastes. Low levels of volatile organic compound (VOC) groundwater contamination were detected in 1981. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) placed the Rasmussen site on the National Priorities List (NPL) in September 1983. Site Responsibility The Rasmussen's Dump site is being addressed through potentially responsible party (PRP) actions under state and federal oversight.
