- hirsin 7y agohttps://pubs.usgs.gov/fs/fs-040-03/ https://pubs.usgs.gov/fs/fs-040-03/ 4th result on "landfill leak groundwater" and first solid looking, non biased answer. Yes, modern, but that's a scope on an already scoped excuse. Second, it's not limited d to landfills. Any corporation claiming they've handled things usually means "until we can disband our Corp structure and eliminate liability". See Superfund sites for other examples, or ask why my family's creek runs orange instead of clear.
- jnwatson 7y agoI can't find any results at all for an actual leak at a post 1991 US landfill. 0. I looked hard. That's a pretty impressive story for modern technology.
