Fargo-Moorhead Urban Study. Water Supply Appendix. Volume 3. Phase 2, Attachment A: Geochemical Investigations of the Old Fargo Landfill.
Abstract
The Fargo-Moorhead Urban Study is a cooperative Federal, State and local planning effort aimed at developing viable solutions to water and related land resource problems, needs and concerns for 1980-2030. The summary report contains a brief, non-technical overview. Readers desiring additional detailed information should review the appropriate technical appendixes. In 1981, the city of Fargo began disposing its municipal solid waste in a sanitary landfill located northwest of the city, and adjacent to a 157-acre parcel of land that had served as the landfill from the early 1950's to 1981. Recent pumping tests suggest that the new landfill as well as the west edge of the old Fargo landfill overlie the West Fargo Aquifer. This aquifer supplies water to the cities of West Fargo and Riverside, North Dakota. The purpose of this study is to gather initial data to be used in the assessment of potential health hazards resulting from the contamination of subsurface water supplies. Keywords: Urban Planning, Fargo(North Dakota), Moorhead(Minnesota), and Water supplies.
