Boyertown Sanitary Landfill - PA DEP Community Information Site
Boyertown Sanitary Landfill
The Boyertown Landfill HSCA Site is located in Douglass Township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. The Boyertown Sanitary Landfill (landfill) covers 30 acres and operated for a few decades before ceasing operations and being capped in 1987. After closure, the landfill’s owner, Boyertown Sanitary Disposal Company, Inc. (BSDC) was required to maintain the landfill.
BSDC was cited numerous times by DEP for failing to perform necessary maintenance of the landfill. In 2019, sampling by DEP detected PFAS in the landfill’s leachate which led DEP to begin sampling private wells in the vicinity of the landfill. In April 2023, following Pennsylvania’s establishment of drinking water standards for two Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), DEP initiated a response to address drinking water contamination of private wells. In July 2024, DEP expanded the response to incorporate new federal drinking water standards for PFAS. DEP’s investigation into potentially impacted drinking water wells is ongoing.
