Answer to Question 1

Yes, some landfills encompass all three types within their boundaries. This occurs because the
underlying geology varies within the area of the landfill. Not only are rock types heterogeneous and
variable, but the water table itself will also lie at different depths in different places. One area may
have an impermeable substrate and be classified as a Class I landfill, while another will have a
permeable substrate and be classified as a Class III landfill.



Answer to Question 2

Settlement can promote ponding of surface water and can cause cracks to appear in the landfill. These
can penetrate the soil layers emplaced to seal the cells of the landfill and thereby allow surface water to
infiltrate. This water can become highly contaminated leachate with the potential to escape through
other cracks into the surrounding environment

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
