Freeway Sanitary Landfill
The Freeway Sanitary Landfill is an EPA Superfund site that covers in Burnsville, Minnesota. In 1971 the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MCPA) licensed the landfill to accept of household, commercial, demolition, and nonhazardous industrial wastes. The state permit prohibited the disposal of liquids and hazardous wastes; however, heavy metals, acids, and bases were accepted by the landfill from local industries. The landfill also accepted of battery casings and of aluminum sweat furnace slag. Overall, the landfill contains nearly of waste. The waste is covered by a low permeability soil cover.
Groundwater contains contaminants which exceed drinking water standards, including volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as tetrachloroethylene and vinyl chloride, and manganese and thallium. City of Burnsville municipal wells are located about to the south of the landfill. These wells serve approximately 36,000 people. Currently the groundwater beneath the Freeway Landfill flows south into the Kraemer Quarry due to long term dewatering of the quarry for mining purposes. When this pumping ceases the ground water flow will be reversed and the contaminated ground water will flow into the Minnesota River approximately from the landfill.
==Threats and contaminants==
Groundwater contains contaminants which exceed drinking water standards including VOCs such as tetrachloroethylene and vinyl chloride, and manganese and thallium. Other contaminants exceed surface water criteria. Exposure to contaminated groundwater is possible if the pollutants migrate to the Burnsville municipal well field or discharges into the Minnesota River where wildlife could be harmed. Based on site conditions, the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) has established a groundwater area of concern which extends out from the landfill based on ground
Landfill gases are also a threat at the site. Two business office buildings are located approximately and from the waste footprint. Currently no landfill gas venting system exists at the site. Eight gas monitoring probes exist around the landfill perimeter. Based on the large mass of waste present, no landfill gas venting system, no recent gas monitoring data, and recognizing the potential for gas to migrate under seasonal low permeable (frozen) conditions, the MPCA has established a methane gas area of concern which extends beyond the waste footprint.
