Water Quality Monitoring Report <br /> Forward Landfill <br /> 1.5 Landfill Gas Monitoring <br /> In accordance with Title 27 California Code of Regulations (27CCR), Article 6, SCS Field <br /> Services (SCS) conducts quarterly monitoring of perimeter gas probes and on-site <br /> structures at the Forward Landfill. During the third quarter 2015 monitoring period, no <br /> methane gas exceeded the regulatory limit of five percent by volume in perimeter gas <br /> probes and no on-site structures were in excess of 1.25 percent methane by volume in <br /> air. As part of the CAP, Forward operates a landfill gas (LFG) extraction system to <br /> control LFG emissions (i.e. source control). SCS performs the operations and <br /> maintenance (O&M) for the LFG extraction system and blower/flare station (BFS). <br /> Summary tables for the BFS and the third quarter 2015 perimeter LFG monitoring probe <br /> and on-site structure testing report are presented in Appendix B. During the third <br /> quarter 2015 monitoring period SCS reported 61 hours of downtime for the BFS. Based <br /> on the BFS data and 2015 Annual Compliance Emissions Test Report prepared by Blue <br /> Sky Environmental, Inc., the LFG extraction system removed approximately 43,155 <br /> pounds of VOCs for the third quarter 2015 (Herst, 2015). A summary of the LFG <br /> extraction wells and destruction system operations and maintenance for the third <br /> quarter 2015 are presented in Appendix C and the second semiannual analytical results <br /> for LFG analyses is presented in Appendix F. Tabulated analytical results for the second <br /> semiannual LFG sampling event will be provided under separate cover in the TO-15 <br /> sampling and analysis summary report. <br /> 1.6 Cannery Waste Land Application Monitoring <br /> Cannery waste and land application monitoring (CWLAM) and groundwater analytical <br /> results for the CWLAM detection monitoring system are presented in Section 3.1.6. <br /> Inspection logs and weekly total mass nitrogen application calculations are presented in <br /> Appendix D, and composite waste sample analytical results for the CWLAM are <br /> presented in Appendix F. <br /> 2.0 FORWARD UNIT <br /> 2.1 Water Quality Monitoring <br /> 2.1.1 Sampling and Laboratory Analyses <br /> During the third quarter 2015, Del-Tech Geotechnical Support Services (Del-Tech) <br /> measured depth-to-water (DTW) at all Forward Unit wells on August 19, 2015 and all <br /> Forward Unit groundwater monitoring wells with sufficient water were sampled <br /> between August 19 and 25, 2015. Vadose zone and surface water monitoring stations <br /> were reported dry during the monitoring period. During the monitoring period, Del- <br /> Tech reported that there was insufficient water to collect samples in groundwater <br /> monitoring wells MW-1 and MW-15 and well MW-23R was dry. For well MW-1, <br /> piezometer MW-113 was sampled instead. <br /> M:\2015.0014\FA 3Q15.docx 4 <br />
