Monitoring groundwater quality is a key component of the Lambton landfill's environmental management program, and has been for nearly 30 years.
By collecting samples from each of Lambton's 45 wells and analyzing them for contaminants, the facility can continuously monitor how effectively waste is contained within the landfill. Our testing has consistently shown no groundwater contamination or migration of hazardous materials from the landfill, ensuring that the Lambton Facility is secure, safe and environmentally sound.
The groundwater monitoring program has also allowed us to develop a thorough understanding of the site's geology and hydrogeology, which in turn helps us better understand potential pathways for contaminant movement.
