Public Notice: EPA Begins Fifth Review of Woodstock Municipal Landfill Superfund Site

Summary

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is conducting its fifth five-year review of the Woodstock Municipal Landfill Superfund Site. The five-year review is an opportunity for you to tell EPA about site conditions and any concerns you have. The Superfund law requires regular checkups of sites that have been cleaned up - with waste managed on-site - to make sure the cleanup continues to protect people and the environment. EPA will include a summary of cleanup activities and an evaluation of the protectiveness of the implemented cleanup remedies in the five-year review report.

Cleanup actions at the site have included removing contaminated wetlands and installing a landfill cap. During this five-year review, EPA will be conducting a site inspection, reviewing the status of the cleanup, and conducting a review of the current data. The review is expected to be completed in September 2025.

Previous Site Reviews

The previous five-year review found that the remedy at the site was effective and protected human health and the environment by controlling exposure pathways.
