"Pasco Landfill Is Smoldering And Leaking Chemicals Into Groundwater"

"PASCO, WA -- Hazardous liquids are leaking and contaminating groundwater, and there is evidence that another fire may be smoldering underground in part of a landfill just east of Pasco city limits.

Plans are being made now to clean up that and other sections of the landfill.

The Washington state Department of Ecology is taking public comment on what steps should be required of the parties identified as likely responsible for the waste."
