Excerpt from Ground Water Basin Protection Projects: Sanitary Landfill Studies; Appendix A: Summary of Selected Previous Investigations This appendix summarizes some of the work that has been conducted, primarily by other agencies, on the subject of sanitary landfills, with emphasis on studies in Southern California on the effect of landfills on ground water quality. The work is part of a larger Department study on landfills which is scheduled to expand in 1969 on a cooperative basis with local agencies. Information contained in this appendix will be basic to the continuing studies and is subject to modification as the studies develop. From the larger study will come the text for Bulletin No. 147-5, which is intended to answer some of the questions raised by previous investigations, particularly on formation and movement of gas and on landfill construction and operation techniques. The bulletin is one of a series reporting the results of investigations authorized by Sections 12922 and 12923 of the State Water Code, known as the Porter-Dolwig Ground Water Basin Protection Law. This law provides that the Department of Water Resources shall study measures for the protection of the grovind water basins of the State from water quality degradation. In the investigation reported here, the Department received valuable assistance from a number of state and local agencies, private organizations, and individuals. Particular recognition is due the County Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County; Messrs. Harold E. Bender, Albert Wise, and William Ellis of the Azusa Rock and Sand Company; Dr. William D. Bishop and Dr. Teng-chung Wu of Engineering-Science, Inc.; Professor Robert C. Merz of the University of Southern California; the City of Glendale, the City of Azusa; and the Los Angeles County Flood Control District, Their cooperation is gratefully acknowledged.
