Abstract

The impact of leachate from a closed landfill on groundwater (GW) quality was characterized by analysis of GW monitoring data over time. The detection frequencies of contaminants in GW were compared with their respective maximum contaminant levels (MCLs). Chlorobenzene; 1,4 Dichlorobenzene; MTBE; xylene; sodium; ammonium as N; iron; vinyl chloride were detected in both leachate and GW. Most frequently detected parameters in GW were iron, ammonia as N, sodium and the least frequently detected parameters were xylene and cadmium. Iron, ammonia as N, sodium and turbidity levels in groundwater were always above the MCL and detected in all GW monitoring wells (MW). Moderately high contaminant levels detected in two wells located in opposite sides of the property were due to the groundwater flow which transported the contaminants. The correlations of GW with leachate quality were analyzed to identify future monitoring needs.
