(Forward), Geo-Logic Associates (GLA) is submitting this <br /> summary report for the Forward Landfill groundwater treatment facility(GTF)to fulfill <br /> the requirements established by Waste Discharge Requirements (WDRs) Order No. R5- <br /> 2003-0080. <br /> The Forward Landfill is an active facility located at 9999 South Austin Road in Manteca, <br /> California. Following detection of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in groundwater, a <br /> Corrective Action Program(CAP) was implemented at the site in 1994, which currently <br /> includes five groundwater extraction wells (EW-1, EW-2, EW-3, EW-313, and EW-4) <br /> that pump groundwater through an air stripper treatment system to remove VOCs. The <br /> treated groundwater is discharged to an infiltration pond north of the Austin Road Unit of <br /> the Forward Landfill. Included herein is a summary of the water quality monitoring <br /> results for the GTF at the Forward Landfill for the fourth quarter 2010. <br /> CAP MONITORING PROGRAM RESULTS <br /> Under WDR Order No. R5-2003-0080, effluent monitoring consists of monthly analysis <br /> of pH, specific conductance (EC), and VOCs; quarterly analysis for total dissolved solids <br /> (TDS); and annual analysis of 24 metals. In addition, influent is monitored semiannually <br /> for pH, EC, turbidity, and VOCs. Del-Tech Geotechnical Support Services(Del-Tech) <br /> performs the operation and maintenance (O&M) duties and performs bimonthly <br /> inspections for the Forward Landfill GTF. The results of the bimonthly inspections are <br /> presented below and summarized in Table 1. The field monitoring logs and laboratory <br /> results are attached. <br /> Operational Summary -As shown in Table 1, between September 30 and December 27, <br /> 2010, except during downtime for repairs, the CAP system operated continuously and <br /> treated approximately 7,240,022 gallons of groundwater at an average flow rate of 68 <br /> 16885 W.
