1 1.0 Introduction and Background <br />11 <br />The Forward Landfill, owned and operated by Allied Waste Industries (Allied), occupics <br />i <br />approximately 567 acres In Manteca, California, and currently receive,,; municipal solid w -s tc <br />designated its non -hazardous solid waste. The facility accepts non -hazardous industrial waste, <br />including non-f;-iahle ashestos, contaminated soil, municipal wastewater treatment sludge, <br />construction and demolition waste, and other industrial and special wastes. <br />The landfill operates, under the Forward landfill Solid Waste Facility Pcmilt 39 -AA -001 5 and its <br />associated requirements. This permit requires that asbestos cinissh-ji-ts be monitored at the <br />landfill on a semiannual basis- Ilus, plan is designed to satisfy this semiannual monitoring <br />requirement. Asbestos air monitoring will be perfbrmed during the course ofasbe-,tos containing <br />waste handling operations at the landfill. The results li-orn this pro-lect will provide data for <br />evaluation of asbestos emission levels. Meteorological data for wind speed, wind direction, <br />ambientI <br />temperature, arid barometric pressure will be obtained from a meteorological (MET) <br />station set ripat the site, or from the nearest MET station. <br />This Asbestos Air Monitoring Plan presents the asbestos air- sampling and analytical procedures <br />that will be used by Shaw F'nvironrnental hic., (Shaw) In supporting the Forward Landfill <br />(landfill) monitoring pro , I cet for the year of -20 )9. <br />Shaw's project organization is structured to include experienced professional and teclulical <br />specialists in the. environmental disciplines. Shaw will be responsible for conducting the field <br />activities, sample collection and handling,, data review, and meeting all reporting requirement," <br />for the monitoring portion of the project. The monitoring objective is to sample for asbestos <br />ambient air levels at 1"our representative site locations during an asbestos waste disposal <br />activity/operation that will occur during a particular week. Sampling will occur during normal <br />working hours. <br />The sampling 10CM1011S Will be Within the landfill fenceline and close to the asbestos salnplc pile <br />A ininimum of ffirec samplers will be located in the predominant downwind locations with one <br />additional sampler co -located at one of the downwind location.,;. One swripler will be located on <br />the predominant upwind perimeter of the landfill. The sampling locations will be representative <br />of the worst-case condition on site for asbestos emissions from typical activities at the landfill. <br />1-1 <br />
