If you own a private well, live in or near the site boundaries, and have not had your well tested, please contact ADEQ.

Contaminants of Concern

Tetrachloroethene (PCE), trichloroethene (TCE) and dross (arsenic, cadmium and lead)

Action Taken

A groundwater containment system was installed in 2003 to prevent westward migration of contaminated groundwater. The system was shut down in October 2012 because contaminant concentrations didn’t warrant continued operation, however, it is being maintained in case site conditions change.

The sources of groundwater contamination are the former Broadway North and South Landfills. A soil vapor extraction (SVE) system was installed at the Broadway North Landfill in 2000 to remove and treat volatile organic compounds (VOCs) landfill gases contributing to groundwater contamination. This system operated until 2002 and removed more than 5,000 pounds of VOCs. 

Status

The Proposed Remedial Action Plan (PRAP) was published in June 2019.
