Groundwater quality in the bedrock aquifer at a solid waste landfill has been evaluated since 1984. Since that time, several volatile organic compounds (VOCs) have been detected in various bedrock monitoring wells at the site. Continued detection of VOCs in the bedrock aquifer led to an investigation and design of a remediation system to address the contaminated aquifer. This paper discusses the site background, geology, hydrogeology, and landfill characteristics; the methods and results of the landfill monitoring and investigations performed; and the groundwater extraction system which was designed and constructed to control further off-site migration of contaminants in the bedrock aquifer.
