parker sanitary landfill

LILY POND RD.

The Parker Sanitary Landfill is a 25-acre site that operated as a solid waste landfill from 1972 until 1992. Before 1983, approximately 1 million gallons of liquid wastes and 760 tons of solid or semi-solid wastes including metal plating wash waters, waste oils, electroplating sludges, paint sludges, chlorinated solvent sludges, caustic cleaners, and metallic salts were disposed of in at least three areas of the landfill. Liquid and sludge wastes were poured directly onto the ground or into unlined pits and lagoons. During a site inspection in 1984, the State detected contaminants in a stream bordering the landfill, in groundwater at the landfill, and in four private wells located near the landfill. The site is located in a residential area, and an estimated 3,200 people obtain drinking water from a municipal well field approximately 2 miles from the landfill; 124 private wells are located within 3 miles. The stream flows into the Passumpsic River, which is used for recreational activities.
