de Roche, J T; Breen, K J

The purpose of the report is to describe the hydrogeology and the chemical quality of ground water and surface water near the landfill. The evaluation was made by (1) review of available hydrogeologic and chemical-quality data; (2) mapping of the glacial overburden and underlying dolomite aquifer from well logs and geologic borings; (3) measurement of hydraulic head in the glacial overburden and dolomite aquifer; (4) collection and analysis of water-quality data from the landfill, glacial overburden, and dolomite aquifer; and (5) collection and analysis of water- and sediment-quality data from local streams. The project area is located in Wood County in northwestern Ohio and encompasses an area of approximately 10 (square miles). The area includes parts of the City of Northwood (population 6,000) and the Village of Walbridge (population 3,000).
