1.0 INTRODUCTION
<br /> On behalf of Forward Inc. (Forward), this report presents water quality monitoring data
<br /> generated during the third quarter 2007 monitoring period for the Forward Landfill in San
<br /> Joaquin County, California. Monitoring was performed in accordance with requirements
<br /> listed in the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) Order No.
<br /> R5-2003-0049. For reporting purposes the water quality monitoring network consists of
<br /> two units: the Forward Unit and the Austin Unit. Section 1 provides a description of the
<br /> monitoring network, site inspections, and standard observations; Sections 2 and 3 include
<br /> discussions of water quality data for the Forward and Austin Units,respectively.
<br /> 1.1 MONITORING NETWORK
<br /> The water quality monitoring network at the Forward Unit currently includes 19
<br /> groundwater monitoring wells, one domestic well, two surface water monitoring stations,
<br /> and 17 lysimeters(Figure 1-1). Monitoring wells at the Forward Unit have been
<br /> constructed to monitor groundwater at the facility as follows:

<br /> The monitoring network at the Austin Unit currently includes 14 groundwater monitoring
<br /> wells, two domestic wells, and two surface water monitoring stations (Figure 1-1). Of
<br /> note,well AMW-3, located in a portion of the landfill being developed, was abandoned
<br /> in April 2007, and damaged wells AMW-5 and AMW-19B were abandoned in August
<br /> 2007. Wells AMW-5R and AMW-19BR were recently constructed as replacements to
<br /> wells AMW-5 and AMW-19B. Well AMW-19BR will be added to the monitoring
<br /> program beginning with the fourth quarter 2007 monitoring period. The detection
<br /> monitoring program (DMP)wells are used to detect a potential release from the landfill,
<br /> while the corrective action program(CAP)wells are used to evaluate changes in water
<br /> quality caused by releases from the landfill and by subsequent corrective action
<br /> measures. Monitoring points at the Austin Unit have been constructed to monitor the
<br /> groundwater/surface water at the facility as follows:
