NEW CARLISLE LANDFILL

OH | EPA ID OHN000509238

Human exposure is under control

About this site’s exposure pathways: There is not sufficient information to determine the site-wide Human Exposure Control status at the New Carlisle Landfill site. The New Carlisle Landfill is a former general refuse and solid waste landfill which operated from the late 1950s to 1977. The landfill has remained unused and undeveloped since its closure in 1997. Volatile organic compounds above Safe Drinking Water Act Maximum Contaminant Levels were found in potable wells in close proximity to the landfill. In 2005, EPA completed a time-critical removal action to provide alternate water supplies (public water line extension and water line hook-up) to the businesses and residences with affected private wells. The Agency is currently confirming that all affected private wells were hooked up to alternate water. In addition, the landfill leachate discharging to nearby surface water may present an unacceptable risk to humans in the area. EPA is currently conducting a site investigation and is developing the site sampling and analysis plan. It will be a priority to collect potential current human exposures information early in the investigation.

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.
