    I don't think so, and if it were to happen, the EPA or other agencies would be notified seeing as these landfills NEVER stop getting tested. They will be tested for millenia to come for leakage.

    So what do you suggest we do with our trash? Making landfills and turning them into useful pieces of land is the best option right now as new technologies are developed.

    Who came up with that name "Fresh" Kills. Really peaceful; no people that's the reason.

    What about trees? Don't their roots need to go down way past 2.5 feet?

    It willl never go away for human's sake. It is clear that a conflagration will be required to eradicate this creeping infection so that future beings whatever they may be can evolve. Perhaps an insect species who may actually live upon this pollution. This is mere ostrich behavior for humans. Two and 1/2 feet of dirt that is cleaner than"what is found in back yards" is of no consolation.

    I was just wondering if the soil and barrier material ever gets washed away, exposing the garbage. and if not, just curious how they managed to make it so effective.
