BROADWAY & BROOKS

The SCA Independent Landfill Superfund Site is located in Muskegon County, Michigan. The Site occupies about 100 acres. The landfill, which occupies about one-third of the Site, stopped accepting refuse in 1986 and was closed in 1987. The landfill accepted domestic and industrial waste, primarily in the 1960s and 1970s. There are approximately 10,000 people living within three miles of the Site. The landfill is located in a swampy area about one-eighth mile south of Black Creek, a coldwater stream. Black Creek has been restocked successfully with trout since 1987. The groundwater flow from the Site discharges to the adjacent, downgradient wetlands, and to a much lesser degree to Black Creek. Groundwater, surface water, and wetlands are primarily contaminated with ammonia and manganese; with isolated detections of other inorganic and organic contaminants. Site Responsibility This Site is being addressed by the Potentially Responsible Party (PRP) under enforcement activity by the State of Michigan.
