# National Priorities List *Federal list of sites, as it appears in one at-issue entry of the Minnesota record.* The National Priorities List is a federal list of sites. In the Minnesota record it appears in one at-issue entry. That entry places a county landfill on the list in 1984, the same year the site went onto the state Permanent List of Priorities.[^1] The same entry records that the site came off both lists in 1996, after it entered the state's Closed Landfill Program.[^1] The entry rests on a 2008 chronology of the site prepared by a federal health agency.[^1] ## What For this record, the list is documented only through the one landfill site. A Special Well Construction Area was established around the county landfill on July 19, 1982.[^1] In 1984 the site was added to the federal National Priorities List and to the state Permanent List of Priorities.[^1] It was removed from both lists after it entered the state's Closed Landfill Program in 1996.[^1] The 2008 federal chronology is the only source the record carries for the site.[^1] The record does not establish several points: - the criteria under which the site was listed in 1984 or removed in 1996; - the condition of the site when it was removed; - any contamination findings, cleanup amounts or responsible-party determinations. ## When The record dates three events at the site.[^1] - **19 July 1982.** A Special Well Construction Area is established around the county landfill.[^1] - **1984.** The site is added to the federal National Priorities List and the state Permanent List of Priorities.[^1] - **1996.** The site enters the state's Closed Landfill Program and is removed from both lists.[^1] ## In the at-issue record - **County landfill (AI-Washington-074).** This entry appears in the section *The Referral Architecture & the County That Got the Prison Edition*. It sets the 1984 listing on the federal and state priority lists beside the 1996 removal from both, which followed the site's entry into the state Closed Landfill Program.[^1] The record carries no source passage on the site's condition before or after 1996.[^1] ## Notes [^1]: Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, *Public Health Assessment: PFCs in Lake Elmo* (29 August 2008) — federal health agency chronology of the county landfill site, anchoring at-issue entry AI-Washington-074: Special Well Construction Area (19 July 1982); addition to the National Priorities List and state Permanent List of Priorities (1984); removal from both after entry into the Closed Landfill Program (1996). https://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/HAC/pha/PFCsLakeElmo/PFCs_in_Lake_Elmo_PHA_8-29-2008_508.pdf
