Water Quality Monitoring Report French Camp Landfill Weekly site visits were conducted by French Camp Landfill personnel during the monitoring period. Records of the French Camp Landfill inspections are on file at the Republic Services Forward Landfill Field Office. Weekly site visit summary reports for the monitoring period are also presented in Appendix A. According to these weekly reports, the French Camp Landfill Operations Manager certifies that standard observations were conducted during the monitoring period. These issues were subsequently repaired during the monitoring period (see signed "Certification Statement" included in Appendix A). 3.0 SOLID WASTE MONITORING The French Camp Landfill has been formally closed and no longer receives waste. 4.0 WATER QUALITY MONITORING 4.1 Sampling and Laboratory Analyses All of the groundwater and leachate monitoring wells were sampled on August 13, 2014. Surface water monitoring locations were sampled on August 20, 2014. Quarterly depth-to- water and stream gauging were performed on August 13 and November 25, 2014. A single sample set was collected from each sampling point (groundwater, leachate, and surface water) and analyzed by BC Laboratories for the parameters stipulated in RWQCB Order No. 115-2007-0046, as summarized in Table 1. Water quality samples were also analyzed in the field for oxidation-reduction potential, turbidity, temperature, specific conductance, and pH and these field measurements were recorded on well data sheets. The groundwater and leachate monitoring wells and surface water monitoring points were sampled by Del-Tech Geotechnical Support Services (Del-Tech) 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 quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) program completed for the monitoring event included analyses of one duplicate sample, one trip blank sample, and laboratory method blanks. The trip blank was analyzed for VOCs by EPA method 8260B. Laboratory method blanks are analyzed for all of the analytes included in the monitoring program. During the monitoring period, no VOCs were detected in blank samples. Trace concentrations of chloride, sulfate, and calcium were measured in laboratory method blanks, though, the detections were at very low concentrations that did not affect the interpretation of primary sample results. A duplicate sample was collected from well MW-10A and labeled DUP. Duplicate test results are presented along with the primary data in Table 2.
