conducted during the monitoring period and no areas of concern were noted(see signed "Certification Statement" located inside cover page, after the Table Of Contents in this report). 3.0 SOLID WASTE MONITORING The French Camp Landfill has been formally closed and no longer receives waste (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 August 19, 2008. Quarterly depth-to-water and stream gauging was performed on August 18 and December 5, 2008. 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- 2007-0046, as summarized in Table 1, including the full suite of constituents of concern (COCs), which are sampled every five years. Water quality samples were also analyzed in the field for dissolved oxygen, turbidity,temperature, specific conductance, and pH and these 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, surface water sampling stations, and soil-pore gas sampling stations are summarized in Tables 2 through 6. 4.2 QA/QC RESULTS The quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC)program completed for the monitoring event included analyses of one duplicate sample, one field (ambient)blank, one trip blank, and one laboratory method blank. The trip and field blanks were analyzed for volatile organic compounds(VOCs)by EPA Method 8260. Laboratory method blanks were analyzed for all of the analytes included in the monitoring program. During the monitoring period, a trace level concentration of the semi-volatile organic compound (SVOC) bis(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate was measured in the laboratory method blank. Review of the primary samples indicates that similar concentrations of bis(2- ethylhexyl)phthalate detected in all SVOC samples collected, and the results were flagged as confirmed laboratory contaminants. A duplicate groundwater sample was collected from well MW-2 and was labeled MW-DUP. Duplicate groundwater test results are presented along with the primary data in Table 3.
