Therefore the MPCA <br />staff does not believe that this well should cause the site to be <br />intrinsically unsuitable. <br /> <br /> The fact that groundwater from the south part of the site <br />flows south toward the existing housing development cannot be <br />verified as a concern. As stated above, these wells are <br />reasonably deep. They may lie beneath the glacial till layer. <br />The till is considered to act as a suitable acquiclude, thus <br />adequately protecting this groundwater. <br /> <br />If the site is to be developed into a sanitary landfill the <br />groundwater conditions would have to be investigated prior to the <br />issuance of MPCA permits for the site.~ At this time there is <br />insufficient information to conclude that Site R would not <br />reasonably qualify for MPCA permits based on this groundwater <br />concern. <br /> <br /> The shallow wells east of Cedar Creek are not a concern <br />because the'groundwater seeping from the site will reach Cedar <br />Creek, the discharge zone, prior to reaching these wells. <br /> <br /> <br />
