Are there potential health hazards associated with possible contamination of groundwater?
Although the groundwater beneath the landfills has not been sampled, it is not used for drinking, cooking or bathing. Even in the absence of sampling data, the lack of exposure precludes the groundwater from posing a public health hazard. In addition, based upon the methane monitoring and soil gas measurements conducted by the TNRCC in June, July, and September 2000, we would not expect contaminants in groundwater to migrate into indoor air of nearby buildings.
