hunts disposal landfill

CO LINE RD & FOLEY RD

The Hunts Disposal Landfill, located in southeastern Wisconsin, consists of 35 acres. The site was originally an abandoned sand and gravel pit. Site operations began as an open dump in 1959 and continued until 1974 when the State of Wisconsin denied the license renewal application to operate as a landfill. The landfill reportedly accepted a variety of municipal and chemical wastes during this period. Approximately 40 homes are located within a one-half mile radius of the landfill. A rural community of approximately 150 homes is located west of the site. The community uses local groundwater as a drinking water source. Based on the sampling of the residential wells in the surrounding area, the local water supply is not impacted by the landfill. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposed the site for the National Priorities List (NPL) in June 1986 and finalized the site on the NPL in July 1987.
