PUBLIC NOTICE – 421
Jefferson County
Mueller Property Holdings, LLC of Birmingham, Alabama submitted to ADEM an application for modification of its post closure permit for the Closed Landfill (SWMU 21) which was used to manage hazardous waste at its facility (EPA I.D. Number ALD 004 017 901) located in Birmingham, Alabama. The Department has determined the facility’s modification application to be complete and has prepared a draft permit in accordance with State regulations.
Mueller Property Holdings, LLC is the current owner of the facility, which was formerly a ductile iron foundry involved in the casting and sale of water piping and associated materials. The proposed modification includes: reduction of monitoring well network through abandonment, removal of certain chemicals of concern from the semi-annual and annual groundwater sampling events, allowance for the use of low-flow monitoring during the semi-annual and annual groundwater sampling events, allowance for the continued deactivation of the hydraulic control system with continued demonstration of overall plume stability, and a few typographical errors within the post-closure permit.
Copies of the fact sheet, permit modification application and draft AHWMMA permit are available for public inspection electronically via http://adem.alabama.gov/public-notices and at the following location Monday – Friday (except legal holidays) during the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. A nominal fee for copying and/or mailing may be charged.
