schmalz dump

ROUTE 2 FIRE LANE 1

The Schmalz Dump site, located in the Town of Harrison, Calumet County, Wisconsin, covers three-quarters acre near the northern shore of Lake Winnebago. The ten and one-half acre site includes the capped seven-acre dump, three acres of adjacent property, and a half-acre wetland. Unauthorized dumping occurred at the site from 1968 to 1979. In 1972 through 1973, fly ash and bottom ash from a utility company were disposed of on the site. In 1978 through 1979, building demolition debris, contaminated with polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), was disposed of on the site. The property adjacent to the dump does not contain waste material from the dump and is not covered by the impermeable cap. The Site is bound to north and west by what were historically wetlands that have been filled for commercial development. Sixty residences and businesses are located within 1,000 feet of the site. A wetland borders the east side of the Site. A railroad right-of-way is on the southern border. South of the railroad tracks is a residential area called Waverly Beach. In 1984, all residences in the Waverly Beach area were connected to the City of Menasha water system. A number of residents still have private wells, but use them only for watering yards and other outdoor purposes. Site Responsibility Remedial actions were implemented using federal funds. PRPs have reimbursed some federal costs. The site is being addressed through state actions.
