The odor is caused by underground smoldering occurring about 1,200 feet from an adjacent landfill, West Lake Landfill. Cold War-era nuclear waste is stored at West Lake.

Assistant Attorney General Joe Bindbeutel said there is concern that the area of smoldering is moving toward the nuclear waste, including the appearance of steam showing up in what he called the neck of the Bridgeton landfill, an area closer to the nuclear site.
