CHICAGO (Sept. 3, 2010) --- E.P.A. Region five will hold open house-style availability sessions Thursday, Sept. 9, to discuss with residents suggested changes to the cleanup project for the Muskego Sanitary Landfill site.
There will be 2 sessions: 2-4 p.m. and 6-8 p.m. at the Muskego Public Library, S73 W16663 Janesville Road., Muskego, Wis.
E.P.A. is modifying its previous cleanup decisions on this Superfund site. Changes involve evaluating whether natural processes are reducing contaminant levels in ground water; improving institutional controls such as ordinances and deeds; evaluating current techniques including landfill liquid and gas collections systems, landfill cap and ground-water treatment and monitoring systems; and developing a wellhead protection project to ensure contaminated ground water does not affect City Well 7.
E.P.A. believes the changes reflect the best approach for cleaning up volatile organic compounds in ground water at and near the landfill. The report outlining the differences, along with other site-related documents, will be accessible for review at the library and at www.epa.gov/region5/sites/muskego.
For further information about the Muskego location or for special accommodations at the sessions, contact Susan Pastor, E.P.A. Community Involvement Coordinator at pastor.susan@epa.gov, or call 800-621-8431 Ext. 31325 between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. weekdays.
