QUEENSBURY The town of Queensbury’s closed landfill appears to be leaking toxins into nearby residents’ wells, and the state Department of Environmental Conservation is considering declaring it a Superfund site.
DEC tested the closed landfill last year, in January 2020. At the time, it was part of routine testing, DEC said in an email describing the situation.
DEC sampled five existing monitoring wells at the landfill and found PFAS and 1,4-dioxane at concentrations high enough to justify testing the nearby residential wells in the area of Azure Drive and Mud Pond Road, near Ridge/Jenkinsville Park.
