osborne landfill

0.5 MILES E OF TOWN

The 15-acre Osborne Landfill is located on an abandoned strip mine in Pine Township, Pennsylvania. The landfill was used for waste disposal from the 1950s until 1978, when the State closed it for accepting industrial wastes without a permit. These waste materials included spent paint, asbestos, solvents, waste coolants, waste sand, waste acid, scrap metal, cooling system sludge, slag, and waste oils. More than 500 drums had been left at the site; many were crushed, rusted, or bulging. Site contaminants in the fill included high levels of lead, benzene, trichloroethene, PCBs and carcinogenic polyaromatic hydrocarbons. Nearby Grove City has approximately 8,100 residents. Site ground water contained vinyl chloride which is a very carcinogenic organic compound. Municipal wells are within one mile of the site. The property is surrounded by woods, wetlands, light residential development, and farmland. Site Responsibility This site is being addressed through federal, state, and potentially responsible parties' actions.
