Abstract
Purifying leachate discharged from animal carcass disposal sites requires decisions regarding the locations and numbers of boreholes. An electrical resistivity survey, known to be effective for investigating leachate distribution, was performed to evaluate the range extent of contamination due to local hydrological properties, such as groundwater flow direction, and geological structure. Results of the survey at four sites at a landfill near Icheon and Anseong, Gyeonggi Province, showed low-resistivity zones (20-200 ohm-m) at a depth of 8 m from the surface. Sites 1-4, which contain 5, 2, 4, and 2 boreholes, respectively, were estimated to have a contaminated groundwater acquisition capability of 12.9 m, 13.7 m, 10.1 m, and 18.0 m, and measured pumping capacity of 2,040 m3, 479.8 m3, 1,492.3 m3, and 691.9 m3, respectively.
