| Abstract |
The purpose of the investigation was to determine the prevalence of subsurface migration of hazardous chemical constituents at 50 land disposal sites that had received large volumes of industrial wastes. The facilities include landfills, lagoons, and combinations of the two, both active and abandoned. They are located in 11 states in the humid region, east of the Mississippi River. Hazardous substances include (1) heavy metals other than iron and manganese, (2) cyanide, arsenic, and selenium, (3) organic substances as determined by gas chromatography. At 43 of the 50 sites migration of one or more hazardous constituents was confirmed. Migration of heavy metals was confirmed at 40 sites; selenium, arsenic and/or cyanide at 30 sites; and organic chemicals at 27 sites. Eighty-six wells and springs used for monitoring yielded water containing one or more hazardous substances with concentrations above background. |
