Protection of Waterlines Traversing a Hazardous Waste Landfill
Water plant intake lines for the city of Toledo, Ohio, pass through a privately operated hazardous waste disposal site. Safeguards were negotiated with the operators of the disposal site to protect the intake lines from possible contamination. The waterline security agreement described in this article was accomplished outside of regulatory processes since there were no specific federal, state, or local regulations covering such a situation. The agreement with the landfill operators includes design requirements and safeguards that provide for an estimated 60 to 6000 years of advance warning of contamination, based on the range of clay permeability, if an unlikely leak travels toward the easement from the hazardous waste storage cells.
