The Use of GIS To Manage, Analyze, and Visualize Data Collected During an Investigation of a Proposed Landfill
Anthony CatalanoMing Zhang
GIS was used during a hydrological investigation of a proposed landfill site, in order to visualize the spatial relationships between the various geological, hydrological, and geographic features as they relate to the propose and fill. The proposed landfill site is adjacent to the Mad River Valley immediately west of Tremont City in Clar County, Ohio. The Landfill's proposed location is situated upland approximately 130 feet from the Mad River Valley, atop and next to two major aquifers and several sand seams. Both publicly available digital data and field observation data were used to develop a GIS presentation to be used during litigation, to present complex geological and environmental observations in a non-technical way.
