(Forward), Geo-Logic Associates (GLA) is submitting this <br /> summary report for the Forward Landfill groundwater treatment facility(GTF) to fulfill <br /> the requirements established by Waste Discharge Requirements (WDRs) Order No. R5- <br /> 2003-0080. <br /> The Forward Landfill is an active facility located at 9999 South Austin Road in Manteca, <br /> California. Following detection of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in groundwater, a <br /> Corrective Action Program(CAP) was implemented at the site in 1994 which currently <br /> includes five groundwater extraction wells (EW-1, EW-2, EW-3, EW-313, and EW-4) <br /> that pump groundwater through an air stripper treatment system to remove VOCs. The <br /> treated groundwater is discharged to an infiltration pond north of the Austin Road Unit of <br /> the Forward Landfill. Included herein is a summary of the water quality monitoring <br /> results for the GTF at the Forward Landfill for the second quarter 2010. <br /> CAP MONITORING PROGRAM RESULTS <br /> Under WDR Order No. R5-2003-0080, effluent monitoring consists of a continuous <br /> record of flow; monthly analysis of pH, specific conductance (EC), and VOCs; quarterly <br /> analysis for total dissolved solids (TDS); and annual analysis of 24 metals. In addition, <br /> influent is monitored semiannually (during the second and fourth quarters) for pH, EC, <br /> turbidity, and VOCs. Del-Tech Geotechnical Support Services (Del-Tech) performs the <br /> operation and maintenance (O&M) duties and performs bimonthly inspections for the <br /> Forward Landfill GTF. The results of the bimonthly inspections are presented below and <br /> summarized in Table 1; the field monitoring logs and laboratory results are attached. <br /> Operational Summary - Between March 31 and June 22, 2010, the CAP system operated <br /> continuously and treated approximately 18,504,700 gallons of groundwater at an average <br /> flow rate of 155 gallons per minute, or 222,948 gallons per day (Table 1). During the <br /> monitoring period, the GTF removed approximately 6.61 pounds of VOCs. During the <br /> 16885 W.
