Water Quality Monitoring Report <br />Forward Landfill <br />samples collected from the upstream and downstream surface water monitoring <br />411 stations during the fourth quarter 2014 monitoring period are generally consistent with <br />each other and no VOCs were detected. With the exception of FU -04W all of the <br />lysimeters were reported dry. However, there was insufficient soil pore liquid from FU - <br />04W for analysis. <br />• <br />Under the existing CAP, the GTF pumped 23.9 million gallons of groundwater removing <br />an estimated 1.19 pounds of VOCs (Herst, 2014). <br />4.0 ANNUAL SUMMARY <br />4.1 General <br />During the 2014 monitoring year, groundwater elevations and groundwater and surface <br />water sampling was performed at the Forward Landfill on a quarterly basis. The <br />groundwater and surface water samples were analyzed for the monitoring parameters <br />summarized in Table 2-1, and a tabular summary of the 2014 annual monitoring data is <br />provided in Appendix F and electronically in Excel (via email). Time -series plots and <br />piper diagrams depicting groundwater and surface water constituent concentrations are <br />presented in Appendix G. In addition, well hydrographs illustrating historical <br />groundwater elevations, well screen elevations, and pump intake elevations are also <br />included in Appendix G. <br />According to the Forward Landfill Operations Manager, Forward Landfill received a total <br />of 808,161 tons of solid waste during the 2014 monitoring year. Figure 1-2 shows the <br />approximate location of waste placement during 2014 monitoring year. In addition, the <br />compost facility received 34,531 tons of green waste and produced 12,902 tons of <br />compost. <br />4.2 Landfill Gas Monitoring <br />The SCS performs quarterly inspections at the Forward Landfill for methane <br />concentrations in perimeter soil -pore gas probes. During the 2014 monitoring year no <br />perimeter gas probes exceeded the regulatory limit of 5 percent at the Forward Landfill <br />and no on-site structures were in excess of 1.25 percent by volume in air. In accordance <br />with CCR 27, Section 20937(a) (1), methane monitors are installed in all buildings at the <br />site to protect public health and safety and the environment. During the 2014 <br />monitoring year, no methane was detected in any of the facilities buildings. <br />4.3 Compliance Record <br />No notices of violation (NOV) were noted during the 2014 monitoring year. <br />M:\ 2014.0012\FA_4Q14.docx 14 <br />1/28/2015, Rev. 0 <br />
