Help ID these trespassers, Canton - Cartersville

And Lo, and although, and hence-here-after, after tonight's discovery of the lies set forth from crooks at the banks, that truly one day, after tales of sway back horses (man they did look beat up, and the horses those women were riding weren't anything to write home about) and creepers without shirts and those with ball peen hammers, after being passed from father to son, will the truth come out...keep hope alive, pvc pipes 10"-24" above ground and wolves shot in the elbows aflame...

I'm not following the reasoning for pipes if there wasn't a landfill there. Calling roundhouse .

If they were trying to get a permit for a landfill
The county would have some record of the permit application

The state EPD solid waste division would have some paperwork also

I have met done much with landfills
Unless they are a real hazard
(I will mention that story later)

But the vent stacks at landfills are usually 4" and the monitoring wells are usually 2" but the monitoring wells are always capped off with at least a lid and usually a metal 4x4 tube to protect the pipe

I have seen 1" wells at some gas stations
They are usually installed as temporary wells

Could be perk test wells ?
I don't know much about them
But for a landfill you don't want it to perk
That's the whole point of excavating and installing a liner on the bottom line you were building a pond , you want the toxic goo that forms from all the trash to stay where it is

Could be perk test wells for a possible future subdivision ?


The trees grow back pretty fast
So it could have all been bulldozed years ago
But that would usually show because the topography somehow just doesn't look natural even under the trees



I'm doing some work at a landfill in Toone TN
When the sale of DDT was outlawed in the 70s
The company that manufactured the majority of the DDT used in the states bought 250 acres of land in a rural area and started burying 55 gallon drums of the concentrate that they used to make DDT

They buried 300,000 drums

16 MILLION gallons of DDT

And tons and tons of the dry powder concentrate that was used to make DDT

It's now quite the mess
The company came out fine though
They paid a $7 million fine and walked

The Feds are paying appx $250 million just to attempt to stabilize the contamination to keep it from spreading

Google

"Velsicol chemical superfund site"

For lots of fun reading
This company dumped chemicals everywhere they went and no one ever went to jail

Remind me again what's the depth of some of the pipes ?

We usually fill them with
Bentonite
One inch wells would need to use really small bentonite pellets
Available at almost any well drilling supply house

Then you excavate a little around the pipe
Saw it off and cap it with a hand full of Portland cement

To prevent a direct path of any surface contaminants to the groundwater

22 ft. Not filled with anything.

Just to clarify there was never a landfill on the site, the guy just permitted for one because he thought he might do that one day.

This is the definition of anti-climatic. I prefer to ignore this and go with something far more nefarious.

These 1" PVC pipes have me stymied. I've never run into anything like them in my environmental career. Most everything I've dealt with were 2" or larger.

Maybe they were part of a ground-source heat pump system that never got installed? It all depends on whether the various pipes are interconnected? Fill one with water and see if it u-tubes in some of the others.

Or a marker. Something is hidden on your property and it is around the pipe. Won't be AT the pipe. Get a metal detector and start at the pipe and circle until you find it.
