Located in Adams County, Pennsylvania, several local companies sent waste for disposal to this three-acre site from 1970 to 1980. Throughout its history, the disposal operation had no permit. The majority of the waste, consisting of paint sludge and various solvents, was dumped on the site grounds. There are several small streams on site. Approximately 9,500 people live in the area and use wells within three miles of the site for drinking water.
