Be it for an active or closed landfill, public or private, the primary concern is the deterioration of water quality. This can cause detrimental impacts on human or animal health, vegetative stress and numerous environmental problems. More than ever, detecting contamination and providing a quality assurance check by conducting regular sampling is needed for both active and closed solid waste disposal. Critical to this is to monitor for the presence of methane soil gas to determine if methane is migrating across property lines in concentrations that may cause concern for public health and safety on properties adjacent to the landfill. Possible effects of methane gas migration include dead or stressed vegetation and explosion hazards in buildings.<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Sampling of groundwater at open landfills solid waste disposal facilities is needed to determine if these facilities are causing adverse effects on the physical, chemical or biological attributes of groundwater. While closed landfills are not subject to all of the requirements applied to active landfills, owners of closed landfills are responsible for preventing their site from threatening public safety or the environment or causing a public nuisance to those living nearby. If they fail to do so, the owners are liable for any impacts that may result. A diligent monitoring and maintenance schedule throughout the post-closure care period will save time, effort and money in the long run. As an example, we take air samples and soil samples to assure that methane levels and other contaminants are not excessive. We have performed this for open and closed landfills, and have served private both landfill owners and public institutions in villages and counties.<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
