Replace your opinions with facts. You sound like you work for the county.

Rincon shale is extremely porous. People at Arroyo Quemado used to be on well water in the 1970's-80's until it became so polluted they had to truck in water.

Michael LeBrun, a senior board engineer, said that trying to figure out where water is traveling inside these landfills is like "working on a puzzle that's literally a couple hundred feet underground."

The regional board required the county to install additional wells at Tajiguas to test the underground water quality and direction of flow.

The following is the table of contaminants identified within the landfill.

1,4-Dichlorobenzene
1,1-dichloroethane
cis-1,2-Dichloroethene
trans-1,2-dichloroethene
cis-1,2--dichloroethylene
2-methylbutane
1,4-Dichlorobenzene
Methyl t-Butyl Ether
Trichioroethene (TCE)
Hexavalent chromium
benzothiazole
chlorobenzene
chlorodifluoromethane
methoxytrimethylsilane
fluorotrimethylsilane
trimethylsilanol
trimethylsilane (2-methoxyethyl)
1,2,4- trimethylbenzene
vinyl chloride

A grand jury report was done for this landfill as well and some members quit because they felt it was a bogus cover for the county. The report gave way to a counter report. Here are both. You decide.

All if which goes to prove that nobody knows whats happening with groundwater at Tajiguas.

On Sure Glad I Didn’t Step in It
