Cinder Lake Landfill 
Leachate Migration Modeling

Project Summary

The Cinder Lake Landfill wants to model the flow leachate exiting the landfill. 
Modeling software was utilized to estimate how long it would take leachate
to travel through the unsaturated zone and reach the underlying aquifer in order to determine
if contamination of the aquifer is a concern.
