Landfill that closed 47 years ago continues to leak trash into Pacific Ocean

For more than 20 years, Mussel Rock, a steep stretch of oceanfront land in northern San Mateo County with breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean and the Farallon Islands, was a garbage dump. Two communities, Pacifica and Daly City, threw away thousands of tons of trash there starting in 1957, when Dwight D. Eisenhower was president, I Love Lucy and Elvis ruled TV and radio, and environmental laws were few and far between. The landfill closed in 1978.
