Leachate plumes in a highly permeable aquifer Leachate plumes in a highly permeable aquifer
Two landfills, 27 and 41 years old, were studied and found to have plumes of leachate-contaminated ground water extending 10,600 and 5,000 ft (3,200 and 1,500 m), respectively, from the site of deposition in the upper glacial aquifer on Long Island, New York. The plumes sink to the bottom of the aquifer, which is 70 ft (21 m) below the water table at the 27-year old site and 170 ft (52 m...

Limnology of Oneida Lake with emphasis on factors contributing to algal blooms Limnology of Oneida Lake with emphasis on factors contributing to algal blooms
Oneida Lake is a naturally eutrophic lake that has existed for about 10,500 years. It has been in a eutrophic state for at least 350 years, and the geochemically derived dissolved materials entering the lake from the drainage basin are of sufficient quantity (449,700 tones per year) to support annual algal blooms. The greatest amount of the dissolved materials (72 percent) comes from the...
