in the initial phase of the site development.
Residents of the Amissville area have voiced continuing concern over the landfill’s potential impact on groundwater quality.
In that same Aug. 19 memo, H|r. Schreiber points out that springs In the fill area will have to be rerouted to at least 75 feet away from the active disposal site. But that is the only specific on groundwater protection covered in the memo, which was written following a meeting between Mr. McCarthy and VDWM representatives Mr. Wright, Mr. Schreiber, Dolph Lathrop and Linda Lightfoot.
The preliminary design report gives the average groundwater depth for the 99-acre Stover tract ps two to 22 feet and 10 to 22 feet on the portions of the site planned for development. The readings on the distance from the land surface to the groundwater table were taken during an extremely wet period, the tieport notes, posing the likelihood that the normal groundwater table may be deeper than indicated.
The same rock fracture traces that area residents see as possibly aiding in the flow of contaminants* from the landfill should facilitate a* groundwater monitoring program,' according to the report. The traces; allow a flow towards the Rappahannock River; monitoring wells should' intercept this flow before it leaves* the site, the report says. ;
The proposed design anticipates’, the use of sub-drains to control' groundwater levels. These drains are “an extra precaution to prevent the liner from rising in the event that the groundwater levels are higher than previously anticipated.”
Background data on water quality is already being collected and analyzed from on-site monitoring wells. These wells would “intercept the first water that would poten(See
