Integrated Geophysical Characterization of the Winthrop Landfill Southern Flow Path, Winthrop, Maine

摘要

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with United Technologies Corporation, used an integrated suite of borehole, surface, and water-borne geophysical methods near the site of the former Winthrop Landill, Winthrop, Maine. to investigate the hydrogeology controlling the transport of leachate from the landfill to nearby Annabessacook Lake. Suring the fall of 2000 and summer of 2001, the USGS conducted borehole electromagnetic (EM) induction and gamma logging, and inductive terrain-conductivity, two-dimensional (2D) resistivity, continuous seismic reflection, and magnetic surveys.
