Dorney Road Landfill

Dorney Road Landfill is a Superfund site in Mertztown, Pennsylvania.[1]

History

Formerly an open-pit mine, this site housed a landfill from 1952 to 1978. During that time, the disposal of toxic materials caused contamination of local groundwater. Dorney Road Landfill was added to the National Priorities List in 1984.[1]
