This website was created and is maintained by the City and County of Denver, Colorado, and Waste Management, which own and operate, respectively, the Lowry Landfill. The purpose of this website is to provide current information regarding the environmental investigation and remediation efforts underway at the landfill property.

The 508-acre Lowry Landfill site is located near the intersection of Quincy Avenue and Gun Club Road in Arapahoe County, 15 miles southeast of downtown Denver. The landfill was declared a Superfund site and listed on the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) National Priorities List in 1984. Since that time, the EPA and the entities responsible for remediating the site have been investigating the site, evaluating environmental cleanup technologies and designing, implementing and fine-tuning the various chosen remedy components.

The remedy is designed to protect the surrounding environment and human health by preventing contaminants from moving off the site and by preventing human exposure to landfill gas, waste-pit liquids or contaminated groundwater.

Anyone interested in the Lowry Landfill is invited to review the materials published here and to contact us at info@lowrylandfillinfo.com with any questions or comments regarding this website. Updates on environmental activities will be posted here as more information becomes available.
