FORWARD LANDFILL 9999 S. Austin Road <br /> Manteca,CA 95336 <br /> (209) 982-4298, Fax(209) 982-1009 <br /> During the third quarter 2009 monitoring period,methane concentrations did not exceed <br /> the regulatory limit of five percent in perimeter soil-pore gas probes at the Forward Unit. <br /> Forward continues to install additional landfill gas extraction wells(as needed),and <br /> makes regular adjustments to the landfill gas extraction system to optimize efficiency of <br /> the landfill gas extraction system. <br /> Groundwater quality conditions beneath the Austin Unit during the third quarter 2009 <br /> monitoring period are generally similar to historical results. CLs were exceeded in DMP <br /> wells AMW-6,AMW-7,AMW-13, and AMW-14, and with the exception of the barium <br /> concentration measured in well AMW-14, none of the CL exceedances exhibited <br /> statistically significant increasing trends. Of note, the barium concentration measured in <br /> well AMW-14(0.24 mg/L)is similar to the historical results measured in this well and is <br /> well below the California primary drinking water standard(I mg/Q. In the CAP wells, <br /> trend analyses are performed instead of comparison to CLs. During the current <br /> monitoring period,one or more statistically significant increasing trends were noted for <br /> VOC constituents in CAP wells AMW-1, AMW-10,AMW-1 9, and AMW-I 913R,while <br /> one or more decreasing VOC trends were noted in CAP wells AMW-1, AMW-4, AMW- <br /> 10, and AMW-11. The increasing vinyl chloride and/or cis-1,2-DCE trends in wells <br /> AMW-I and AMW-10 suggest that natural degradation of VOCs is occurring in the <br /> vicinity of these wells through reductive dechlorinization. <br /> According to the Forward Landfill Operations Manager,weekly standard obsei vations <br /> have been conducted during the reporting quarter. The Forward Landfill Operations <br /> Manager also reported that no surface water was discharged during the reporting period. <br /> I certify under penalty of law, that I have personally examined and am familiar with the <br /> information submitted in this document and all attachments, and that based on my inquiry <br /> of those individuals immediately responsible for obtaining this information,I believe that <br /> the information is true,accurate, and complete.
