Results may be influential in determining whether attenuation through infiltration can
be considered an acceptable method of pollution prevention under corrals on freely
drained sites, as an alternative to lining. The leachate pollutant concentrations are at
levels that would be considered indicative of very effective treatment, for example,
from constructed wetlands.
