The exposed materials were excavated, stockpiled on the western part of the site and covered with clay. All operations at the site were discontinued in 1987. No use of perched zone or glacial aquifer groundwater has been identified in the vicinity of the site. This site is being addressed through Federal, State, and potentially responsible parties' actions. The site is easily accessible to the public, and the deep pits created by sand and gravel mining activities present a significant physical hazard.
Ponds also exist in the bottom of the pits.
Potential health risks exist for individuals who drink or come into contact with the contaminated groundwater. The remedy includes a cap over the on-site waste area and pump and treat of the contaminated groundwater. Design of the remedy was conducted under an AOC effective May 26, 1992. The treatment system has been operational since 1999 and is successfully treating the glacial aquifer. Investigations and negotiations are underway to address concerns of contamination in the Saginaw Aquifer which supplies drinking water to Lansing.
