Wastes from the operation were disposed of on the site and in a network of ditches that discharged to an adjacent wetland. The wastes contained many compounds, including polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), some of which are carcinogenic. Soil and ground water below the wetland and the southern portion of the site are heavily contaminated. Seven wells have been closed. All draw on the Prairie du Chien-Jordan Aquifer, which provides most of the drinking water for local communities. This is the top priority site in Minnesota.  In the late 1970s, 28 multiaquifer wells were reconstructed to prevent the spread of contamination. In 1982, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) provided funds to the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) to clean out two contaminated wells which had been used for disposal of site wastes. In 1984, a Consent Order was issued requiring Reilly Tar, the potentially responsible party (PRP) as owner and operator of the site, to construct a granular activated carbon treatment plant for two existing contaminated municipal wells, to restore drinking water and to contain the contaminant plume from contaminating other municipal wells. The granular activated carbon treatment plant was completed in 1986. A Consent Decree (CD) was subsequently signed by the PRPs, U.S. EPA and the MPCA in September, 1986. In 1986 and 1987, a number of pumping wells were constructed in the various groundwate
