umm. please back this up.
I believe that 1 of 2 things is happening here
1) There must be 2 places to shoot near 7&72 and people are getting them mixed up
2) There was a landfill NEAR the 7&72 range and people are just saying "well, it is less than a mile away so it is the same place".
I only know of one place to shoot at 7&72, and I would have to say that if the place that I know of was a land fill, it had to have been over 50-75 years ago - back in the day when it didnt make sense to haul your garbage up to 8,000 feet...like today...
Also, using google earth, I just measured the range there. It is only about a football field in length and width. Hardly large enough for a landfill.
Here is the link:

In my estimation there is zero evidence that the range there is an old dump. The land there is nearly solid rock...well..crumbly rock, but still quite a pain the ass to dig a hole in. There are no access roads, there are trees everywhere that have been there for decades.
Also, 7&72 is right on a main Tourist drive - who would want a landfill right there?
Off the road down by Raymond makes more sense.
