3.0 SOLID WASTE MONITORING During the first quarter 2007 the French Camp Landfill did not receive waste and the site has been formally closed. (Appendix A). 4.0 WATER QUALITY MONITORING 4.1 SAMPLING AND LABORATORY ANALYSES All of the groundwater monitoring wells and surface water monitoring points were sampled on February 27, 2007. 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 well MW-1A was extended but not the pump's tubing. An attempt to pull the pump and extend the tubing was performed, however, due to curvature in the well casing,the pump became lodged in the well and can no longer be sampled. Following approval from the RWQCB,well MW-lA was abandoned in April 2007. 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 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. 4.2 QA/QC RESULTS The QA/QC program completed for the first quarter 2007 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 laboratory method blanks were analyzed for volatile organic compounds (VOCs)by EPA Method 8260. Trace concentrations of chloroform were detected in the QA/QC ambient blank sample during the first quarter 2007 monitoring period. However,none of the primary samples contained chloroform. Of note,bromoform,bromodichloromethane, and dibromochloromethane were detected in the primary samples collected from upstream surface water station SW-2. However, during the previous monitoring period these constituents were identified as suspected laboratory contaminants associated with the VOA containers. DA2003_0217C_woldoc 2 Geologic Associates
