Abstract
This report provides a listing of the existing industrial, commercial, and municipal placement sites and to depict the types of sites, approximate quantities of waste material deposited at each site, site capacity, site life expectancy, and site potential for surface water quality degradation. Closed sites were not investigated, although their potential for surface water contamination may still exist. Also, the potential effects on groundwater were not included as a part of this study. The report contains the following information: background information; report methodology; summary of solid waste placement sites; tabulation of solid waste sites by type, site capacity, projected site life, leachate handling facilities, and probable affected water courses; an appendix of industrial, commercial, and municipal survey forms including photographs (where appropriate), and location maps; and a large (1 inch = 1 mile) solid waste placement site location map.
