The former landfill is a Superfund site because in the 1970s people started dumping industrial waste at the site. It’s estimated that 35,000 drums of hazardous substances are buried at the facility.
An underground fire is smoldering at a former landfill site in Washington. It is now a Superfund cleanup site.
It’s not the first time an underground reaction has occurred at the site. An earlier fire took two years to extinguish.
