1.0 INTRODUCTION
<br /> On behalf of Forward Inc. (Forward), this report presents water quality monitoring data
<br /> generated during the third quarter 2008 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 15
<br /> groundwater monitoring wells(five of which are dual depth well pairs), one domestic
<br /> well,two surface water monitoring stations, and 17 lysimeters(Figure 1-1). Well
<br /> MW-24 was recently constructed in anticipation of the proposed southwesterly expansion
<br /> of the landfill. Monitoring wells at the Forward Unit have been constructed to monitor
<br /> 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,wells AMW-5R and AMW-19BR were constructed as replacements to wells
<br /> AMW-5 and AMW-19B, which were abandoned. The detection monitoring program
<br /> (DMP)wells are used to detect a potential release from the landfill, while the corrective
<br /> action program(CAP)wells are used to evaluate changes in water quality caused by
<br /> releases from the landfill and by subsequent corrective action measures. Monitoring
<br /> points at the Austin Unit have been constructed to monitor the groundwater/surface water
<br /> at the facility as follows:
