Water Quality Monitoring Report Forward Landfill 101 Field and laboratory results for CAP and EMP wells for the first quarter 2016 monitoring period are summarized in Table 3-2. As shown in Table 3-2, 17 of 28 CAP/EMP wells reported one or more VOCs exceeding a Practical Quantitation Limit (PQL), with CAP well AMW-1 having the greatest number of VOCs (14) including seven measured above a PQL. An annual report discussing the CAP and EMP monitoring results for the Austin Unit was prepared by Herst & Associates (Herst, 2015) and reported under separate cover. 3.1.6 Cannery Waste Land Application Monitoring Field and laboratory results for the four CWLAM wells for the first quarter 2016 monitoring period are summarized in Table 3-4 and were compared to Water Quality Protection Standards (WQPS) calculated for CWLAM constituents (total nitrogen, arsenic, iron, and manganese). As shown on 3-4, no WQPS were exceeded during the first quarter 2016 monitoring period. During the first quarter 2016, no cannery waste was accepted 3.1.7 Domestic Well Monitoring Two domestic wells (7898-A and 8106-A) were sampled on February 10, 2016. Table 3-5 summarizes the current analytical results for the domestic well samples collected. PCE was measured above the PQL in both domestic well samples, and cis-1,2- dichloroethene, DCDFIVI, TCE were also measured above their PQLs in the sample collected from well 8106-A. In addition, a trace concentration of 1,1-dichloroethane was measured in well 8106-A, and DCDFM and TCE were measured at trace concentrations in well 7898-A. 3.1.8 Vadose Zone Monitoring The current vadose-zone monitoring network at the Austin Unit consists of seven lysimeters. The lysimeter locations are shown on Figure 3-1. As shown on Table 2-6, with the exception of FU -04W and FU -04E all of the lysimeters were reported dry, and there was insufficient soil -pore liquid (<_ 5 mL) from FU -04W or FU -04E for analysis. 3.1.9 Leachate/Surface Impoundment Monitoring Leachate sumps and surface impoundments are inspected weekly by Forward Landfill personnel. If leachate is detected in a sump, it is pumped into the surface impoundment WMU F (West) for evaporation. During the first quarter 2016, leachate was observed at holding areas WMU FU -03, WMU FU -04, WMU FU -05, WMU FU -06, WMU FU -13, and WMU FU -14 and a total of 197,800 gallons of leachate was removed from the lined areas at an average rate of 2,174 gallons per day. For surface impoundment WMU-F (West) freeboard ranged from approximately 6.58 to 10.00 feet during the first quarter 2016 monitoring period.
