EPA Questions regarding Modern Landfill

EPA questions regarding Modern Landfill

As part of a routine five-year review of Modern Landfill by the United States Environmental Protection Agency, the EPA has asked Lower Windsor Township for input on certain questions related to the landfill. Residents of Lower Windsor Township are invited [by the Board of Supervisors] to participate in responding to EPA. Please note that EPA’s interest is focused on the original portion of the landfill where hazardous wastes were disposed during the 1970s. EPA’s most recent five-year review report is available here: https://semspub.epa.gov/work/03/2297919.pdf EPA’s review does not involve any issues or questions related to future operation or closure of the landfill, as those issues are not part of this five-year review process.
