					 units in the critical stratigraphic section that may be impacted by the
					 facility;
(ii) establish a long-term
					 monitoring well network in the uppermost aquifer and other units determined
					 necessary by the department, to monitor potential environmental impacts from the
					 landfill and the effects of closure or remediation; and
(iii) analyze the initial round of samples or
					 existing sampling data for each monitoring well point for baseline parameters. If

						reusable, and combustible components; reducing closure and post-closure costs by
						complete or partial removal of the landfill; creating capacity; or reducing
						environmental impacts.
