I believe you are obligated <br /> 6 under 3432116-G to look at groundwater gL4ality <br /> 7 protection. And I don't believe this liner, as <br />' 8 proposed, gives you an adequate level of assurance. <br /> 9 This is a solvable problem. There are <br />' 10 several solutions which I would propose. Whether <br /> 11 carrying out these solutions makes this a~ desirable <br /> 12 question is a different question and I aa~. not <br />' 13 rendering judgment on that. But I think you should <br /> 14 require looking at a double liner with a drainage <br />' 15 netting in between and leak monitor and detection in <br /> 16 that area. <br />' 17 I h <br />c <br />ult <br />d with <br />f th <br /> ave <br />ons <br />one o <br />e <br />e <br />' 18 preeminent liner manufacturers in the country and am <br /> 19 told that the additional cost for this area would be <br />' 20 -- that is, to add this, given everything else <br /> 21 that's already in place in terms of grading and <br />' 22 liner, would be approximately $2 million. <br /> 23 Secondly, I think that you should <br /> 24 consider requiring either hydrogen peroxide or <br /> 25 some other form of backup decontamination, in case <br />AGREN, BLANDO & BILLINGS <br /> <br />
