juncos landfill

BO CEIBA NORTE, ROAD 189

The 11-acre Juncos Landfill is a closed municpal landfill at which thermometers containing mercury have been dumped. Small leachate seeps and soil erosion were evident during the site inspections conducted by the EPA. Of greatest concern are houses adjacent to the landfill. The community is served from a public water supply. Limited barriers exist to prevent local residents or animatls from entering the site. There are approximately 10,000 people living within a 3-mile radius of the site. Several small creeks are located near the landfill. Site Responsibility: This site is being addressed through a combination of federal, state, and potentially responsible party's actions
