seattle municipal landfill (kent highlands)

NE OF MILITARY RD AND KENT DES MOINES RD

The Seattle Municipal Landfill (Kent Highlands) site is located in the city of Kent, Washington, approximately 14 miles south of Seattle. From 1968 to 1986, the City of Seattle leased the site and disposed of refuse on about 60 acres of a 90-acre ravine located on a hillside above the Green River. In addition to municipal wastes, the landfill accepted paint residues, industrial sludge, and other industrial wastes. In 1984, contaminants reached monitoring wells, and leachate (contaminated liquids) was leaking from the eastern side of the landfill. The leachate mixed with storm water runoff was collected in a pond, which discharged into a sanitary sewer system permit by the city of Kent. Site Responsibility: This site is being addressed through state and municipal actions.
