HAMLIN RD
The J & L Landfill site, located in Rochester Hills, Michigan, is a 17-acre site, which was mined for sand and gravel for some time before 1951. From 1951 to 1980, slags from steel manufacturing processes, dust from electric arc furnace operations, and other wastes were deposited into this gravel pit before it was filled to grade and closed in 1980. In 1976, the Michigan Department of Natural Resources conducted a study and identified high levels of contaminated groundwater. Land use in the area includes: residential, industrial, recreational, land filling, and mining. The site is bordered on the east, west, and north by landfills. Six other landfills are within one-half mile of the site. The site is one mile west of the Clinton River, and a sediment pond is located in the northwest corner of the site. Surface water drainage from the area flows primarily to the northeast toward the Clinton River. Residential areas are 500 feet south of the site boundary, 1,000 feet northwest, and 600 feet east. The population within a one mile radius is approximately 1,550 with a trailer park 0.1 miles southeast of the site. The state recreation area is approximately 0.5 miles northeast of the site. Site Responsibility This site is being addressed through federal, state, and potentially responsible parties' actions.
