After a bathing ban had been imposed on an 800-meter-wide stretch of beach in 1964 due to the contamination of the dune landscape south of Henne Strand with sludge containing heavy metals and cyanide, among other substances, nothing was done for many years to dispose of the industrial waste that had accrued at the Grindstedværket industrial plant in Grindsted. Many chemicals and pharmaceuticals had been manufactured there, which is reflected in the wide range of pollutants that the environmental authorities found in the landfill. The wastewater that had been pumped to the coast by tanker trucks from Grindsted had been pumped into the landfill.
