Description: Miscellaneous Paper
Abstract: Ground-water contaminants were found in ground-water monitoring wells at the existing landfill. More wells to define the horizontal and vertical extent of the contaminant plume are to be installed. Geophysical techniques (electromagnetic induction, vertical electrical resistivity, and horizontal resistivity profiling) were used to map the extent of the contaminant plume. Using the geophysical, groundwater elevation, and geologic data, five anomalous areas south and east of the landfill were identified as locations for additional groundwater monitoring wells.
