1.1.1 Incident Category
On March 7, 2010, EPA' R4 Phone Duty Officer received NRC #933241 that reported the release of methane from an abandoned landfill. The methane had collected in several communications vaults and caused a flash explosion that lifted several manholes. Due to the threat of explosion, GA Environmental Protection Division requested EPA's assistance with air monitoring. Phone Duty Officer dispatched OSC Benjamin Franco to assess the situation.
1.1.2 Site Description
The site is an unlined landfill that received municipal waste from approximately 1927 to 1986. The landfill operator began operating the landfill as an inert (concrete, asphalt, brick, block) landfill in 1986. Due to uncontrolled methane production and releases and groundwater contamination, GA EPD has developed a Corrective Action Plan. The methane recovery system is ready for construction and awaiting grant of access from one property owner. GA EPD is seeking an Emergency Order for access to implement their Corrective Action Plan and requested assistance from EPA in collecting data to support the Access Order.
1.1.2.1 Location
The site is located at 6321 Lawrenceville Hwy. in Tucker, Georgia.
