提议在多拉山附近扩大垃圾填埋场, 可能会污染佛罗里达州主要的饮用水源Floridan含水层, A proposed landfill expansion near Mount Dora risks polluting the Floridan Aquifer, Florida’s main drinking water source, with unsafe chemicals and seepage, prompting local officials to demand stronger protections.

Lake县官员警告说,在Dora山的Wolf Brice Sink附近扩大垃圾填埋场的提议可能会威胁到佛罗里达含水层,这是数百万人的主要饮用水来源。 Lake County officials are warning that a proposed landfill expansion near Mount Dora’s Wolf Branch Sink could threaten the Floridan Aquifer, the main drinking water source for millions. 该水槽是直接通向地下水的管道,引起人们担心,暴雨水径流、填埋场渗漏和气体会污染含水层。 The sink, a direct conduit to underground water, raises concerns that stormwater runoff, landfill seepage, and gas could pollute the aquifer. 在现场附近进行的测试发现,丙酮、苯和甲烷等化学品水平不安全,而侵蚀和损坏的屏障表明,污染可能已经发生。 Tests near the site found unsafe levels of chemicals like acetone, benzene, and methane, while erosion and damaged barriers suggest contamination may already be occurring. 官员说,他们缺乏国家支持来适当评估或减轻风险,敦促加强保障以保护公共健康和水质。 Officials say they lack state support to properly assess or mitigate risks, urging stronger safeguards to protect public health and water quality.
