Task 4—Data Analysis <br /> Assuming a twice/month downloading event, Geologic Associates will evaluate the <br /> downloaded data from each monitoring unit on a quarterly basis to incorporate the data <br /> into a running summary. The data will then be imported to an Excel spreadsheet for <br /> interpretation. This task would be repeated throughout the two-year monitoring period, <br /> maintaining a running summary of moisture trends throughout the life of the units at each <br /> moisture location. <br /> Task 5—Meetings <br /> GLA understands that alternative(ET) final cover systems have not yet gained broad <br /> acceptance from the regulatory agencies and as a result, significant agency interaction is <br /> anticipated for this project. Specifically,while these systems have been approved in many <br /> of the RWQCB regions and interest in them is strong throughout the state, the <br /> Sacramento office of the Central Valley RWQCB has yet to approve them for final <br /> closure. Having already met with the Sacramento office in support of this project, we <br /> anticipate that while they will be receptive,but will likely require a substantial database <br /> prior to approval. As a result,we would anticipate an initial meeting with RWQCB, <br /> CIWMB and LEA staff to establish issues that they would consider critical in review of <br /> the proposed monitoring program. In this way, the subsequent field and analytical efforts <br /> can be tailored to address the most salient issues of the agencies. In.addition to this initial <br /> meeting, we anticipate attendance at several progress meetings where preliminary results <br /> can be presented and comments obtained so that final submittals are responsive to the <br /> agencies concerns. <br /> Task 6-Annual Reports <br /> At the end of the each year of monitoring a report will be prepared to summarize the data <br /> received from the instruments placed within the alternative final cover, to identify <br /> significant identifiable trends and to present conclusions drawn with regard to the <br /> performance of the system as a whole. This report will include a comparison of the <br /> performance of the alternative cover to the published performance characteristics of <br /> prescriptive final covers in similar environmental settings. <br /> CA2005-000workplan.DOC\07/11/05 4— <br /> GeoLogic Associates <br />
