Waste Management ensures groundwater protection by sampling and analyzing
groundwater from wells around the landfill site. The landfill has also constructed three
storm water retention ponds to collect and contro surface water run-off from the Daily Cover
landfill; these ponds are monitored continually.

most efficient and effective disposal alternative for special waste.
