Buried drums triple the cleanup time at Dayton landfill
The Valleycrest landfill near Dayton holds at least 26,000 buried drums, with only about 20 percent of the 102 acre site inspected. EPA's Steve Renninger says intact and punctured drums contaminate soil and groundwater, though private wells serving 35 nearby homes remain safe. Cleanup began in 1992 and 1994 designated the site Superfund.
