1285 E BARD RD
The 40-acre Duell & Gardner Landfill site, located in Dalton Township, Muskegon County, Michigan, was an operating municipal landfill from the 1940s to 1975. Before 1969, industrial waste and general refuse were accepted at the site. From 1969 to 1973, the landfill was operated as a licensed solid waste disposal facility. In 1971, the Michigan Department of Public Health (MDPH) stipulated that no liquid waste was to be disposed of in the landfill; however, in 1973, the MDPH noted that liquid waste disposal was occurring. The landfill ceased operations in 1975. Wastes were deposited on the soil surface and in surface depressions. Materials found on the site included: approximately 500 drums in various stages of deterioration, hundreds of laboratory bottles, areas of refuse and debris, and piles of unidentified sludge-like material. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs), including chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, aniline, and N,N-dimethylaniline, have been detected in onsite groundwater. Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), crystal violet, aniline, and N,N-dimethylaniline were detected in onsite soil. Potential health risks may exist for individuals who have direct contact with or ingest contaminated groundwater or soil. Approximately 140 people live within a one-mile radius of the site.
