| Short Description |
Previous studies of Northside Landfill, located in the City of Spokane, failed to determine conclusively whether landfill leachate was affecting water quality in the Spokane River approximately one-half mile away. The purpose of this study was to do reconnaissance sampling of the river and ground water in the area of concern. Differences in water quality between the Spokane Valley-Rathdrum Prairie Aquifer and the Spokane River were detected. However, data were insufficient to determine whether these differences indicated leachate plume migration west toward the river. | |||
