dragged out confrontation.
That weapon is having the Green
Valley area designated an
“aquifer recharge zone.”
An aquifer is a large un
derground water supply, deter
mined by in-depth geological and
hydrological studies. To date, no
official aquifer has ever been
established in Pennsylvania, so the
group hopes to set a precedent. No
hazardous waste dumping is
allowed above a designated
aquifer zone, thus having the area
set aside by EPA would effectively

EPA’s Washington D.C. board
has acknolwedged that the site is a
likely one, even suggesting that the
area originally applied for as an
aquifer be more than tripled, to
include some 50 square miles.
Such proposals must be printed
in the Federal Register, then given
a six-month waiting period for
comments. If the proposal is

Farms site done by Professor Moid
U. Ahmad, professor of hydrology
at Ohio University, Athens, Ohio.
Conclusions of that study,
published in January, 1981 are:
—The hazardous waste site is
located in the aquifer which is the
sole drinking water source for the
residents of North Codorus
Township and the Borough of
Seven Valleys.
—The hazardous waste site is
located in on area which is faulted
and fractured and the earthquake
activity has also occurred in the
past and future earthquakes are
also expected and the earthquakes
could fracture the waste cells.
—The waste site is located in an
area where quarries exist. The

- —The proposed site has already
been polluted due to the abandoned

for North Codorus Township.
—The proposed method of
