Longleaf C&D Disposal Facility began accepting waste the fall of 2006. In just two years, monitoring wells detected problems with the groundwater –vinyl chloride, aluminum, iron and sulfate above the Primary and Secondary Drinking Water Standards. The landfill was built without a liner. The Semi-Annual report for the facility showed that in November 2013 those problems still existed. Owner Waste Management has a remedial action plan, has gotten a permit extension from DEP and now wants the county give it a permit.
When Waste Management closed the facility, a good deal of its customers started using Rolling Hills -which could be the root of the environmental problems there. Rolling Hills also does not have a liner.
