Austin Road Manteca, CA 95336 (209) 9824298, Fax (209) 982-1009 October 27, 2011 JN: 2011-0050 Forward Incorporated (Forward) is pleased to submit the subject water quality monitoring report for the Forward Landfill in compliance with reporting requirements of the Regional Water Quality Control Board - Central Valley Region (RWQCB) Waste Discharge Requirements (WDRs) Order Number R5-2003-0049, which combined operations at the former Austin Road and Forward Landfills under a single permit. The combined landfills are referred to as the Forward Landfill hereafter. The Forward Landfill is regulated by two monitoring programs including the RWQCB WDR Order No. R5-2003-0049; and the Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) Post Closure Permit No. CAD 990794133. A separate annual report is submitted to the DTSC in March each year addressing the Post Closure Permit Requirements and focuses on Waste Management Unit (WMU) A. However, all analytical data are provided in each report and the requirements of each program are being satisfied. This report presents quarterly sampling results for the reporting period dating from July 1 to September 30, 2011 (third quarter 2011). For the Forward Unit, environmental monitoring for the third quarter 2011 yielded results similar to previous quarters. Organic results for the Forward Unit indicate that diisopropyl ether (DIPS) was measured above the practical quantitation limit (PQL) in the sample collected from well MW -2A, and tetrachloroethene (PCE) and trichloroethene (TCE) were measured above the PQL in the sample collected from well MW -14. In addition, concentrations of 1, 1 -dichloroethane (1,1 -DCA), cis-l,2-dichloroethene (cis-1,2-DCE), dichlorodifluoromethane (DCDFM), and trichlorofluoromethane (TCFM) were measured at trace concentrations in the sample collected from well MW -14. Concentration Limits (CLs) were exceeded for DIPE at well MW -2A; PCE and TCE at well MW -14; barium and sulfate at well MW -15; potassium and sodium at well MW -18; chloride at well MW-21;and for potassium and sulfate at well MW -22. Excluding non- impact constituents, confirmation sampling will be performed in November 2011 during the fourth quarter 2011 monitoring event, and in December 2011. The results of the confirmation sampling will be provided under separate cover. .7
