Lateral movement of contaminated ground water from Merrill Field Landfill, Anchorage, Alaska
J.O. Brunett
1990, Open-File Report 89-624
A sanitary landfill used in Anchorage, Alaska, since the 1940 's was closed in 1987. Leachate from the landfill does not appear to be contaminating a small creek flowing through a conduit in the landfill, but leachate is being transported by groundwater into a wetlands to the south. An electromagnetic...
