Abstract
The scope of the investigation included the total field of movement of the pesticide waste materials within the hydrologic system. Considered were such hydrologic factors as surface runoff, sediment transport, hydraulics of ground-water movement, leaching and the interaction of the wastes with the environment. During the investigation, approximately 110 samples of surface runoff and washoff were collected for pesticide analysis from a network of strategic sampling sites. In addition, about 200 core samples and 10 samples of ground water were obtained for analysis from the subsurface beneath and adjacent to the disposal site.
