The Lowry Landfill Superfund Site

Lowry Landfill Super Fund is about 2 miles to the east of Aurora in Arapahoe County, Colorado. It consists of approximately 507 acres of waste disposal sites managed by Colorado Waste Management Company. There are grassland grass and wetlands in local streams on the land around the site. The area around the area is classified for agricultural purposes, such as pasture cattle and unirrigated wheat farm. 1 There are many endangered species living in this area, such as Bald Eagle and Cruising.

In 2005, Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Rita hit a New Orleans agricultural street landfill, which was removed from Superfund's list three years ago. The contaminated areas are covered with clean soil. The flood from the hurricane put the contaminants back on the surface. The US Environmental Protection Agency needs to do a second cleaning. According to the US Environmental Protection Agency, expenses and available funds are not just factors to clean up decisions, Superfund rescue measures will still "protect human health and the environment". The guiding principle is executed. These guidelines stipulate that land use restrictions can help limit human exposure and should be used in Superfund sites in addition to eliminating toxins. In this guide, unless the US Environmental Protection Agency determines that other options are not practical, we prohibit land use restrictions from becoming "single remedies" of that site.

In early 1989, J & L landfill was listed as a super fund of the National Priority List (NPL). At the moment, the site remains NPL even after nearly 26 years. After the final investigation of the J & L landfill site, an estimated 455,000 cubic yards of waste was disposed. It's over 90 million gallons! After further testing, EPA discovered that waste contaminated soil and groundwater. The monitoring plan of the J & L landfill site was approved in 1998. The plan includes ten groundwater monitoring wells. In addition, the cover of the reclaimed land that seemed to be in trouble was maintained and inspected. The cover requires long-term maintenance to ensure that the waste is still valid
