A location used for 10 years as an uncontrolled olive oil mill wastewater disposal site is studied in this work. Once it was closed the sedimented solid waste on the soil surface was removed. In order to evaluate the influence upon soil characteristics, morphological aspects and analytical parameters of a soil profile from the affected zone are compared to those of a control soil located near the landfill. The residual contamination levels in the underlying soil are determined. The results show that the wastewater infiltration in the soil has caused carbonate dissolution and redistribution and modifications in pH values, electrical conductivity, nutrient contents, phenolic compounds and biological activity of the horizons. Removal of waste, natural leaching and biological activity, in time, led to an effective decrease in electrical conductivity and phenolic compounds, although residual levels can be important even 2 years later.
