Abstract: The effects of the Watauga County Sanitary Landfill leachate on surface water quality at the lower end of the landfill were studied over a 10-month period. Results of the study indicate that the landfill is contributing excessively to the ammonia nitrogen and iron concentrations of the surface water below the landfill. The grand mean for ammonia nitrogen was 82 times greater below the landfill than the grand mean above the landfill. The grand mean for iron below the landfill was 126 times greater than the grand mean above the landfill.
