3.0 SOLID WASTE MONITORING During the third quarter 2006 the French Camp Landfill did not receive waste (Appendix A) and is in the process of the final cover construction for closure. 4.0 SOIL-PORE GAS MONITORING Soil-pore gas monitoring at the French Camp Landfill is monitored under a separate contract and reported under separate cover. 5.0 WATERQUALITY MONITORING 5.1 SAMPLING AND LABORATORY ALYSES Groundwater monitoring wells and surface water monitoring points were sampled on August 30, 2006. Prior to collection of samples, depth-to-water measurements were recorded for all groundwater monitoring wells. Due to the final cover construction, the casing for leachate monitoring wellMW-lA was extended but not the pump's tubing, and as a result, the well was reported dry and not sampled. Forward was notified of the problem and has extended the pump tubing in well -lA. In addition, well MW-8 could not be located and Forward is currently in the process of relocating this well. A single sample set was collected from each sampling point (groundwater, leachate, and surface water) and analyzed for the parameters stipulated in RWQCB Order No. R5- 2004-0159, and are summarized in Table 1. Water quality samples were also analyzed in the field for dissolved oxygen, turbidity, temperature, specific conductance, and pH and the field measurements were recorded on well data sheets. The groundwater monitoring wells and surface water monitoring points were sampled in accordance with the sampling and analysis procedures detailed in Appendix B. Well data sheets,raw laboratory data, certificates of analyses, and chain-of-custody records for the sampling program are included in Appendix C. The laboratory analyses and field results for groundwater wells and surface water sampling stations are summarized in Tables 2 through 5. 5.2 QA/QC RESULTS The quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC)program completed for the third quarter 2006 water quality monitoring event included analyses of one duplicate sample, one field (ambient)blank, one trip blank, and one laboratory method blank. The trip, field, and equipment were analyzed for volatile organic compounds (VOCs)by EPA Method 8260. Method blanks were analyzed for all of the monitoring parameters along with the primary samples. Trace and/or quantifiable concentrations of VOCs including bromoform, chloroform, and dibromochloromethane were detected in QA/QC ambient, trip, equipment, and method blank samples during the third quarter 2006 monitoring period. Bromoform and dibromochloromethane were detected in several of the primary samples ® collected, and were flagged as suspected laboratory contaminants.
