The Size of the Proposed Landfill <br />The size of the proposed landfill is .... (... p. ) <br />Alandf ill —178 acres = 720,340 m2 <br />The Extent of the Conducted <br />Hydrologic Characterization <br />The hydrologic characterization was conducted profes- <br />sionally and within the allocated budget. It probably <br />produced as much information as the budget <br />allowed, which is VERY LITTLE. <br />Let us compare the size of the area of the region influ- <br />enced by the conducted hydrologic testing with the size of <br />the proposed landfill. ONLY 4 piezometers and 4 <br />monitoring wells were tested via SLUG TEST <br />(p. 9 of the Site Plan Application) . No data is provided <br />in the report to estimate the exact radius of influence. <br />The radius of influence of a slug test can be safely over- <br />estimated as R = 10m. Thus the ares hydrologically <br />surveyed is <br />Asurveyed _87T10"' m2 = 2513.27 m2 <br />5 <br />
