PRYOR VALLEY RD

The site is a former hazardous waste disposal area in Brooks, Kentucky, 12 miles south of Louisville. Land use in the area is predominantly rural residential, with areas of deciduous forest around the entire site. Forested hills border the site to the north, east and west, and a residential area borders the site to the south. Intermittent streams flow along the north-central portion of the site and drain into the Unnamed Tributary of Bluelick Creek and, then into Floyd's Fork. The site originally included an 80-acre unpermitted former drum disposal area; a 40-acre formerly permitted landfill; and several smaller, isolated disposal areas where unpermitted disposal of hazardous waste occurred over at least 30 years. Parties used the site from the 1950s to 1989 for the disposal of local construction debris, municipal solid waste and commercial / industrial waste from businesses and manufacturing facilities in the Louisville area. In 1986, EPA listed the site on the NPL. In December 2006, S&S Development purchased the entire property including the landfill and waste disposal areas. In August 2007, EPA approved the steps S&S Development will implement to make sure future development on the site property does not compromise the integrity and protectiveness of the site’s cleanup. The initial phases of development involved logging and timber harvesting on eight areas of the site outside of the landfill. Logging began in December 2007 and finished in late 2008. S&S Development defaulted and the property has reverted back to the Smith family.
