The report describes the physical setting of the Reno County Landfill, the fate of waste materials in landfills, in general, and investigate methods used. Data collected during installation of temporary and monitoring wells and subsequent water-level measurements are used to describe the geology and hydrology in the vicinity of the landfill. Analysis of samples from private-supply and monitoring wells, and from a nearby creek define water-quality conditions near the landfill and the effects of the landfill on ground-water quality.
