West Lake Landfill is a former sanitary landfill that closed in the 1970s. It is located just north and west of Lambert-St. Louis International Airport near the Highway 70/270 interchange. In 1973, a now-defunct trucking company mixed 39,000 tons of soil with 8,700 tons of a low-level radioactive material called leached barium sulfate and brought it to the landfill as “clean fill” material. The landfill used the material to cover compacted trash in two areas as part of routine operations. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission discovered this in 1976 and began its investigations in 1978. The Environmental Protection Agency added the landfill to its National Priorities List as a Superfund site in 1990. After 30 years of testing, analysis and public involvement, the EPA selected a final site cleanup plan in 2008. But at the request of environmental groups, the EPA put the cleanup on hold in 2009 to conduct years more testing, analysis and public involvement. The new EPA-required studies are not expected to be completed until 2015 at the earliest.
