by Douglas C. Kent, Wayne A. Pettyjohn and Thomas A Prickett Introduction A recent (1980) project funded by the U.S. Envir onmental Protection Agency (EPA) (Pettyjohn, Kent Prickett, LeGrand and Witz, in press) has developed a manual to guide government agencies in evaluating hydrogeologic aspects in permit applications dealing with hazardouswaste treatment,storageand disposal facilities,asdescribed inSection 3004 ofthe Resource Conservation and Recovery Act. The techniques described for predicting leachate movement can also be used todevelop monitoring plans, and sowould be useful for consultants and companies having hydrogeologists on their staff.
