EPA Superfund Site

FREEWAY SANITARY LANDFILL

MN | EPA ID MND038384004

Exposure status: insufficient data

About this site’s exposure pathways: As of July 2024, there is insufficient information to determine the site-wide Human Exposure Control status at the Freeway Sanitary Landfill Superfund Site. Gas probe data obtained by the State has shown explosive levels of methane adjacent to the landfill. Subslab gas samples collected from near-site buildings did not indicate a vapor intrusion (VI) risk for these structures, but one on-site building has not been fully evaluated for the VI pathway. The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency's Closed Landfill Program, lead agency for the site, has been delayed in getting access to complete the VI pathway investigation from a resistant property owner. MPCA continues to work to obtain access to the property.

Data limitations: Proximity to a Superfund site boundary does not mean your property is contaminated. EPA site boundaries show the area designated for cleanup, not the full extent of contamination. Groundwater plumes can extend beyond site boundaries. This tool shows publicly available EPA federal data. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by EPA, and is not a substitute for a professional environmental assessment.
