> leachate control is nothing but a cost center to the people running a landfill A lot of these fixes are more expensive to fake to code than to just implement, and isolating sources of groundwater pollution can take a few years, but not decades. Also a lot of these people live there and know the risks to their kids' safety. The environmental engineers who consult on these projects didn't generally go into the field to poison people.
