While people discuss the potential problems associated with landfills, what they fail to recognize when doing this in Missouri is the real dangers that exist if it is moved. Should the West Lake Landfill be moved (as people are fighting for), the actual digging and transportation of these materials would provide real danger to residents living there.
The best solution for the West Lake Landfill therefore is status quo: leave it where it is and let the EPA monitor and encapsulate it on a regular basis to minimize any potential dangers.
