1,0 INTRODUCTION
<br /> On behalf of Forward Inc. (Forward),this report presents water quality monitoring data
<br /> generated during the third quarter 2009 monitoring period for the Forward Landfill in San
<br /> Joaquin County, California. Monitoring was performed in accordance with requirements
<br /> listed in the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board(RWQCB) Order No.
<br /> R5-2003-0049. For reporting purposes the water quality monitoring network consists of
<br /> two units: the Forward Unit and the Austin Unit. Section 1 provides a description of the
<br /> monitoring network, site inspections, and standard observations; Sections 2 and 3 include
<br /> discussions of water quality data for the Forward and Austin Units, respectively.
<br /> 1.1 MONITORING NETWORK
<br /> The water quality monitoring network at the Forward Unit currently includes 15
<br /> groundwater monitoring wells (five of which are dual depth well pairs), one domestic
<br /> well, two surface water monitoring stations, and 17 lysimeters (Figure 1-1). Monitoring
<br /> wells at the Forward Unit have been constructed to monitor groundwater at the facility as
<br /> follows:

<br /> The monitoring network at the Austin Unit currently includes 18 groundwater monitoring
<br /> wells, two domestic wells, and two surface water monitoring stations(Figure 1-1). Of
<br /> note, wells AMW-5R and AMW-19BR were constructed to replace wells AMW-5 and
<br /> AMW-1913, which were abandoned, and wells AMW-1313,AMW-21,AMW-22, and
<br /> AMW-23 were constructed as part of an on-going evaluation monitoring program(EMP).
<br /> The detection monitoring program(DMP)wells are used to detect a potential release
<br /> from the landfill, while the corrective action program(CAP)wells are used to evaluate
<br /> changes in water quality caused by releases from the landfill and by subsequent
<br /> corrective action measures. Monitoring points at the Austin Unit have been constructed
<br /> to monitor the groundwater/surface water at the facility as follows:
