| Subject: | Hazardous Overlay Zones |
I am trying to answer a question for one of our subscribers and am largely working from analogies rather than immediately comparable situations. So I would appreciate any feedback on the following question: Does anyone have experience with the use of an overlay zone restricting land uses in accordance with hazard considerations in the vicinity of an old landfill? The situation involves methane buildup, leaching into local groundwater supplies, and similar, typical landfill decay problems. The objective is to prevent incompatible future development from occurring until bioremediation has had a chance to resolve the situation, which may take years.
