All <br />testing, monitoring protocols and reporting were performed in general conformance with Title 27 <br />California Code of Regulations (CCR) Article 6. Briefly, these regulations require that solid <br />waste disposal site owners/operators implement LFG control or monitoring provisions to ensure <br />that methane gas concentrations in soils at the property boundary do not exceed the lower <br />explosive limit (LEL, or 5 percent by volume) and that interiors of on-site structures do not <br />exceed 1.25 percent by volume in air. Below is a summary of our quarterly monitoring activities. <br />SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS <br />On December 8, 14, 15 and 29, 2015, no methane gas (the combustible component of LFG) in <br />excess of the LEL was detected at any perimeter subsurface compliance GP probe location tested <br />or in excess of 1.25 percent by volume in air at any interior locations or on-site structures. These <br />results indicate that at the time of our testing the subject site perimeter subsurface GP probes and <br />interiors of on-site structures are in compliance with requirements of Title 27 CCR. <br />GAS TESTING INSTRUMENTATION AND METHODS <br />Testing for methane gas, oxygen gas, carbon dioxide gas and pressure was performed using a <br />Landtec GEM -5000 or Gastech GT -302 Gas Analyzer calibrated to methane gas. These <br />instruments measure combustible gas concentrations in air directly on either of two scales, the first <br />as percent by volume of the lower explosive limit (LEL) of methane gas in air (0 to 5 percent); the <br />other as percent by volume (0 to 100 percent) in the gas sampled. The detection limit for both <br />instruments is approximately 0. 10 percent by volume. <br />E <br />C7 <br />11 <br />• <br />
