Minnesota Department of Agriculture Announces Proposed Plan

This Proposed Plan identifies the Minnesota Department of Agriculture’s (MDA) preferred remedial action to address the sources of arsenic contamination affecting the soil and ground water at the CMC Heartland Lite Yard Superfund Site (Site) in Minnesota. The preferred remedial action includes the excavation of the most contaminated soil in the documented “central hot spot”, treatment and removal of that soil from the site to an approved specially regulated landfill, treatment of moderately contaminated soil, placement of a minimum four foot layer of clean fill cover over moderately and slightly contaminated soil, ground water monitoring, and institutional controls (restrictions on the future use of the property) to address residual arsenic contamination at the CMC Heartland Lite Yard Site. Air and dust monitoring will be conducted during excavation and treatment activities.
