woodstock municipal landfill

DAVIS ROAD

The 50-acre Woodstock Municipal Landfill ("Woodstock LF") Superfund site is located in Woodstock, McHenry County, Illinois. The site was a local dump and open-burning area from 1935 until 1958, when the city of Woodstock purchased the property and began to bury its municipal waste in on-site trenches. The site also accepted industrial waste for disposal. Approximately 7,200 cubic yards of nickel sludge, generated by the Autolite Plant in Woodstock, were disposed of at the site from 1972 to 1974. The landfill stopped accepting wastes for disposal in 1975. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) inspected the Woodstock LF site in 1985 and observed leachate seeping out of the waste. Freshwater wetlands surround the site. Approximately 14,400 people obtain drinking water from public and private wells located within three miles of the site, including the city's six municipal wells. The distance from the nearest residential well to the site is about 50 feet. Site Responsibility The Woodstock LF site is being addressed through potentially responsible party (PRP) actions under state and federal oversight.
