It's actually a lagoon, not like a solid waste landfill. The truck with the radioactive waste was sent back to the drill site, but I don't know what happened to it after that.

Local people used to be organized to fight and protest this site, but I guess everyone has given up (or died or moved away). It's back a rural road.... I have only been back there once a long time ago and you really couldn't see much from the road. With Corbett offering the drillers unrestricted access to rape and pillage our state, I guess there isn't much hope for closing it down.
