Background
Sauget Area 2 site is made up of four landfills, sites Q, R, S, and P and four backfilled lagoons, site 0. The site is the location of hazardous waste that resulted from treatment and disposal of industrial, municipal, and chemical wastes.
Sauget Area 2 entered into an agreement to perform studies about the nature and extent of contamination at the site and determine cleanup alternatives (remedial investigation/feasibility study). The cleanup plan selected included constructing a barrier wall to capture contaminated ground water and prevent it from reaching the Mississippi River and pumping and treating ground water off site.

Site Updates
August 2008
EPA performed a five-year review to evaluate the cleanup plan for Sauget Area 2 Site R. The cleanup plan is for the ground water operable unit 2. An operable unit is a term for the number of separate activities taking place at a Superfund site. The existing interim cleanup of a barrier wall to capture contaminated ground water from reaching the Mississippi River and pumping and treating ground water off-site is working and significant amounts of contaminated ground water are being removed and treated.
