The site is located on property near the former Stapleton International Airport in Denver, Colorado. The purpose of the corrective action was to contain a former unauthorized six-acre drum disposal landfill area. The closure was made particularly difficult due its close proximity to the Sand Creek stream channel and adjacent Sierra Club wetlands area. The key elements of the corrective action, implemented by Opal Group, L.L.C. personnel, included the following:
