Landfill Lechate Wells

|

These three wells (shallow, middle, deep) are about 100 feet for the landfill, to monitor how much pollution is leaking from the landfill. Officially most of the pollution comes from the GAL or Greater Albany Landfill, built prior to liners being required for landfills, but all liner systems fail -- sometimes before the garbage is degraded enough to have less leachate and methane to leak into surrounding lands.
