The site is located about 1 mile west of State Road No. 160 in the Almirante Norte Ward of the municipality of Vega Baja, Puerto Rico.
Total acreage is unknown.
Several small plots within the site were formerly used for dumping plastic-coated electrical cables, electrical equipment, car batteries, and transformers. The total quantity of waste brought onto the site and the date when activities began are not known. Some wastes were burned, presumably to recover copper, aluminum, and lead. Burning reportedly ceased in 1988. EPA also will investigate groundwater quality to determine whether remedial activities are needed to protect the aquifer that supplies off-site public wells that serve large numbers of residents in Vega Baja.
