Between 1950 and the mid-1970s, at least four pits were constructed for the disposal of hydraulic oils, solvents, paint wastes, enamel powder, lint from brass polishing, and plating sludges. Approximately 1,600 people live within three miles of the landfill. The nearest residence is one-quarter mile away. The Sheboygan River is located within 300 feet of the site.
