The Norfolk closed Landfill is bordered by 837th Road on the south, 838th Road on the north, 560th Road on the east, and located six miles southeast of the town of Norfolk, NE. Highway 81 is 3 miles west of the landfill. An approximate location of the site is SE ¼, Section 13, Township 23 North, Range 1 West, Madison County, Nebraska.
The groundwater at this site has been contaminated as a result of previous operations. The NDEQ has assigned the groundwater pollution event at this site a Remedial Action Class one (RAC-1). RAC numbers are used to prioritize the groundwater pollution events with (1) being the highest priority and (3) being the lowest priority. The proposed final cleanup levels in groundwater are shown in Table 1. The NDEQ is proposing the following remedial actions: enhanced bioremediation, in-situ chemical oxidation, groundwater recovery, monitored natural attenuation, long-term groundwater monitoring, landfill cap maintenance, landfill gas monitoring, institutional controls, periodic private well sampling, and contingency measures to supply alternate water to impacted well users.
