Site DescriptionThe Mid-State Disposal, Inc. Landfill (Mid-State Landfill) site is located in central Wisconsin, four miles northeast of the village of Stratford, Wisconsin, in Marathon County. The Mid-State Landfill site is a 160-acre parcel of land and includes a 35-acre "Old Mound" landfill, a five-acre "Interim Expansion" area, and a three-acre sludge lagoon. Mid-State Landfill was in operation from 1970 to 1979 and accepted municipal, industrial, and commercial waste. Industrial and commercial wastes that were accepted included: paper mill sludges, asbestos dust, solvents, pesticides, paint sludges, and metals. The Weyerhauser Company, a generator of waste disposed at the facility, agreed to properly close the site in 1979. Closure actions included removal of ponded leachate and construction of covers on the three waste disposal areas. Also, leachate collection systems were installed in the sludge lagoon and interim expansion areas. |
