g&h landfill

3160 23 MILE RD

The G & H Industrial Landfill site consists of a 60-acre landfill and approximately 10 to 20 acres of adjacent property. The landfill was used as a waste oil recovery facility from 1955 to 1967 and as an industrial and municipal landfill from 1955 to 1974. Waste oil containing polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) was stored in unlined ponds at the site, in addition to the disposl of waste solvents, paint sludge, and municipal refuse. The site is bordered by the Clinton River and a state recreational area to the south and west, and by small business and residential areas to the north and east. About 50,000 people live within three miles of the site. Most of those directly adjacent to the site are now connected to the municipal water supply. Shallow groundwater in the area is flowing southwest towards the river; thus, the contaminated groundwater does not directly threaten the residential areas to the north and east.
