"The landfill operated from 1961 until 1975. Over the course of its active life, the site was a repository for trash from the city of York. From its start until 1968, the landfill was operated by the city. Thereafter, the facility was operated by firms that received the refuse contract from the city. The landfill was closed in 1975, and the site was sold to its present owner, Dr. Roger Boser, a veterinarian, in 1978. Complaints by nearby residents began in 1980, after the landfill had been closed for approximately five years. The site is now mainly used for pasture and recreation by its owner; however, a small northern section of the site is leased out to grow crops for animal consumption.

"Based on the information reviewed for this public health assessment, the site is judged to represent no apparent public health hazard because there is no evidence of current human exposure, and no community-specific health outcome data to indicate that the site has had an adverse impact on human health."
