Abstract

In this study an evaluation of Environmental Protection Agency-sanctioned statistical methods for assessing the quality of the groundwater surrounding landfills is conducted. Various groundwater conditions are simulated and the ability of the methods to detect significant changes in contamination levels is compared. The results show that the determination of whether the groundwater has been contaminated may be unduly influenced by the statistical method used.
