Factsheet
Bennett's Dump - June 1999
The cleanup of the Bennett's Dump site, which is located about 1 mile
northwest of Bloomington, will begin in July 1999 and is scheduled to be
completed by December 1999. The site, also known as the Bennett Stone
Quarry, lies in a "bowl" with a gentle slope in a region where limestone was extensively quarried for building stone. The total volume of contaminated soil and waste at the site is estimated tobe 55,000 cubic yards. Wastes disposed of at the site include demolition debris, fragments from stone quarry operations, and capacitors containing PCBs. After the cleanup is completed, the site could be redeveloped for industrial activity.
