Hazardous Waste Disposal

Sites where past hazardous waste disposal has created environmental problems are often large and complex, containing many different kinds of wastes derived from various sources and deposited in different parts of the dump site through time. Information from historic aerial photographs, maps and other supportive data can be instrumental in determining information that often can't be established any other way - previous site uses that may also be source of contamination, periods of dumping, dumping and burial methods, the nature of materials dumped through time, and many other types of information directly relevant to litigation.
