How does the specific geological makeup of northwest Arkansas contribute to the hazards of illegal dumping?
As we located illegal dumping sites in our community we observed that many times the locations of the trash dumps were adjacent to stream beds and water sources. We then explored the geography and geology of our area to determine if the trash posed a hazard to our watersheds, groundwater, aquifers and ultimately our drinking water.
