EPA Superfund Site

HIDDEN LANE LANDFILL

VA | EPA ID VAD980829030

About this site’s exposure pathways: As of May 2025, the Hidden Lane Landfill Superfund site is considered “Current Human Exposure Not Under Control” (HENC). Residential drinking water sampling for PFAS indicated elevated concentrations PFAS compounds (PFOA, PFOS and PFHxS) above the federal MCL in drinking water. This exposure pathway is considered unacceptable based on EPA risk-based criteria because 28 properties from three sampling rounds had results above the MCL or with unacceptable risk based on RSL exceedances.

Currently, the planned activities to address this pathway are to finalize an ESD that adds PFOA, PFOS and PFHxS as COCs and provides temporary alternate water supply to residents within the buffer zone whose drinking water has COC exceedances above the MCL or potentially poses an unacceptable risk until the public waterline is installed. The public waterline installation is expected to be completed by the end of 2027. If you are impacted by risks inherent at this site, you can reduce your exposure by purchasing an approved filter for reducing PFAS compounds. You may also contact EPA's community involvement coordinator regarding next steps for your property. EPA currently anticipates that human exposure will be under control by December 30, 2025 because EPA expects that an alternate water supply will be provided to those properties with PFAS contamination or the they will be connected to the public waterline.

EPA has provided letters in the mail to all property owners that were sampled in the first round of residential PFAS sampling and has spoken to residents over the phone for all the remaining properties sampled in the subsequent rounds with the sampling results and additional resources and information to help mitigate exposure.
