RTE 1 2MI N OF WHITELAW

The 16-acre Lemberger Transport and Recycling (LTR) site is located in Manitowoc County, Wisconsin, approximately one-quarter mile from the affiliated Lemberger Landfill (LL) site. Both the LTR and LL sites are on the National Priorities List, and are also near the active Ridgeview Landfill. Farm and wide-spaced rural residences that utilize groundwater for drinking are near the site, and the area is used for hunting. The nearby Branch River is used for swimming, fishing, and canoeing. The LTR site operated as an unlined disposal area from 1970 to 1976. Wastes disposed at the site include an estimated 900,000 gallons of wood tar distillates, paint wastes, and other industrial wastes. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposed the LTR site for the National Priorities List (NPL) in September 1983 and finalized the site on the NPL in September 1984. Site Responsibility In 1985, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) replaced residential wells where VOCs were detected with much deeper wells. EPA funded the Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study. A group of potentially responsible parties known as the Lemberger Site Remediation Group (LSRG) have implemented the cleanup actions under EPA and WDNR oversight.
