members the ap plicants are incorrect in predic ting the landfills contaminating lifespan is probably over 100 years and not 10 to 20 years as RSI claims in its application The contaminating lifespan of a landfill explained Mr means the period of time the landfill will produce poisonous leachate Mr Feenstra said a con taminating lifespan of to years is ideal for a landfill but 100 years is definitely not The application is also incor rect in indicating the quarrys natural barrier that would reduce downward leakage of leachate is such that it would be tens of years and possibly more than years before any leachate would leak through the barrier and into the ground water system said Mr The consultant predicted seepage of leachate through the barrier would happen within years and not
