Consequently, the design of the North 80 will not i~on~y prevent the infiltration of contaminants into ground w~terI in the North 80, but because of its overlapping design wi~h ~he current landfill site, will cause the improvement of water' ~ua~ity attributable to the decreased infiltration of ground wa~er · ground watxer Koch; P la~s, into the current site to the overall benefit to the of the community.
