HWY 1523

The 2.75-acre site is located along Kentucky Highway 1523, one mile northeast of downtown Calvert City in western Kentucky. The site is next to an industrial area in Calvert City that includes several major chemical and industrial plants. The Tennessee River borders the site to the north. Farmland borders the site to the east and the B.F. Goodrich Superfund site borders the site to the west. Some single-family homes are about a half-mile from the southern edge of the site. Apart from ongoing monitoring activities, the site is not currently in use. From the mid-1950s until 1971, the landfill accepted an estimated 18,000 tons of chemicals, including chemicals that can cause burning or corrosion. From 1971 to 1980, one industry user dumped 14,000 tons of metal-contaminated coal ash as well as other materials at the landfill. The Commonwealth of Kentucky began regulating the landfill in 1968. Parties closed and capped the landfill in 1981. Companies on both the Airco and B.F. Goodrich sites shared a common landfill. In 1984, EPA listed the site on the NPL.
