Photos of Allied Paper Superfund
Landfill Site in Kalamazoo - July 2011

In late July 2011 I got an opportunity to tour the Allied Paper Superfund landfill in Kalamazoo between Alcott and Cork Streets. There is not much to see now as the PCBs on site have already been buried and capped. The grass has grown lushly on top of the landfill.  The first three photos below are looking from close to the top of the landfill to the East, then South, then North..

On the left is the old Bryant Mill clarifier. The pole barn contains some basic laboratory facilities.

Looking up the slope of the landfill from the East side close to Portage Creek.

Looking North along the East side of the landfill.

Portage Creek flowing by the East side of the landfill and a close-up of the sheet pile wall that has been used where the creek runs alongside the landfill.
