The Beulah Landfill Superfund Site is a 101-acre site located in Escambia County, Florida, about 10 miles northwest of downtown Pensacola, Florida. The site is surrounded by pine woods in all directions but the south. It is lying undeveloped, and in use as a model airplane field. A timber company owns a majority of the surrounding property which it uses as timber farms.
Escambia County used the landfill 1950-1984. Before to the landfill was closed in 1999, the site’s northern and southern sections were run separately. The northern landfill, used from 1950 to 1960, accepted mostly typical trash. The southern sludge disposal pits began receiving home septic tank wastes in 1968 and continued to take regular trash, industrial waste, demolition debris, and assorted sludge until 1984, the year Florida ordered Escambia County to stop work at the pits. The site was on the National Priorities List in 1990 but was deleted in 1998.
