Madison, Wisconsin: Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources
Summary
The conditions of 62 solid waste disposal sites in 10 counties of south central Wisconsin have been examined during the study. The evaluation was concentrated on physical environments of the existing land disposal sites and their potential for pollution of water resources. Generally, the physical environment offers good natural protection against undesirable effects of landfilling. Landfills can be constructed in almost any of the hydrogeologic environments in south central Wisconsin, provided that a suitable design is used for each particular environment.
