Water Quality Monitoring Report French Camp Landfill reports, the French Camp Landfill Operations Manager certifies that standard observations were conducted during the monitoring period. Areas of concern were noted during the March 3, 2014 inspection for a fence that needed repair; and during the April 7, 2014 inspection for stolen fencing and chain which secures the front gate. 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 and surface water monitoring points were sampled on February 27, 2014. Quarterly depth-to-water and stream gauging were performed on February 24 and May 9, 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 equipment blank sample, one field blank sample, and laboratory method blanks. The field and equipment blanks were 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, t- butyl alcohol (TBA) was measured above the practical quantitation limit (PQL) in field and equipment blank samples (16 gg/L in both samples). Additionally, ethyl t-butyl ether (ETBE) was measured at trace concentrations in the field blank sample (0.22 gg/L) and equipment blank sample (0.26 gg/L). Both of these constituents are associated with gasoline. However, neither of these fuel oxygenates were detected in any of the M:\2014.0012\FC 1SA14.doc 2 7/10/2014,Rev.0
