Methane Migration and Groundwater Contamination Risk State
Class
dc69cfb8
http://proethica.org/ontology/intermediate#MethaneMigrationandGroundwaterContaminationRiskState
Definition
State in which a proposed or approved landfill design raises credible, publicly articulated concerns — from a qualified engineer — that methane gas generated within the landfill will migrate into adjacent private properties and that leachate or other contaminants will pollute nearby groundwater resources, creating foreseeable harm to identifiable third parties (adjacent property owners, groundwater users) who have not consented to the risk and who are not party to the engineering engagement.

Source Evidence
Source Text
Engineer C, a resident of the town, publicly contends that the higher level design concept would be environmentally unsound because methane gas from the landfill would move into adjacent private property and that it would pollute the nearby ground water
