What will happen at the Lowry Landfill site once the remedy is complete?
Because wastes will remain on the Lowry Landfill site, EPA will conduct mandatory Five-Year Reviews to ensure all containment activities are working as designed. Despite finding that most of the remedy components were protective and effective, an overall protectiveness determination for the containment remedy could not be made during the September 2001 First Five-Year Review because the remedy was incomplete at that time. In addition, groundwater at the site will continue to be monitored. Any future use of the site will have to be compatible with the remedy, comply with certain restrictive covenants, and comply with all regulations to ensure the use is safe.
