The purpose of the study was to describe the geology, hydrology, and ground-water quality in the vicinity of the Emporia-Lyon County Landfill. The study is one of several in Kansas that focus on the effects of landfills on the quality of water in shallow aquifers. The report presents information on current hydrogeologic and ground-water-quality conditions in the vicinity of the Emporia-Lyon County Landfill, including a description of regional geology and hydrology, a description of alluvial sediments penetrated during drilling of wells in and near the landfill, a description of hydrologic conditions in the alluvial sediments in and near the landfill, and a description of inorganic and organic ground-water chemistry for water samples from 13 monitoring wells in and near the landfill.
