Keep in mind that the concentrations detected by the perimeter monitors
are too small to be detected by the source area monitors.

landfill. No hydrogen sulfide readings were detected from the
perimeter or source area monitors. The batteries in the south seep
and west seep were replaced in February (The catwalk monitor is
powered by electricity).
