The Ledge Road Landfill, a 25.8 acre parcel, is located west of Ledge Road, northeast of the I-93/I-495 interchange. The former landfill was closed to waste disposal in 1973. During the 1980s, the Town constructed Deyermond Field, consisting of two ball fields and a soccer field. The remaining portion serves as a municipal public works yard. The Comprehensive Site Assessment determined that the site had no significant impact on human health or safety. Further expansion of fields is in development for 2007-2008. A repository of information for the project is available at the Andover Board of Health.
