Water Quality Monitoring Report Forward Landfill is 1.5 Landfill Gas Monitoring In accordance with Title 27 California Code of Regulations (27CCR), Article 6, SCS Field Services (SCS) conducts quarterly monitoring of perimeter gas probes and on-site structures at the Forward Landfill. During the second quarter 2014 monitoring period, no methane gas exceeded the regulatory limit of five percent by volume in perimeter gas probes and no on-site structures tested were in excess of 1.25 percent by volume in air. As part of the CAP, Forward operates a landfill gas (LFG) extraction system to control LFG emissions (i.e. source control). SCS performs the operations and maintenance (O&M) for the LFG extraction system and blower/flare station (BFS). Summary tables for the BFS, LFG extraction wells, and the second quarter 2014 perimeter LFG monitoring probe and on-site structure testing report are presented in Appendix A. During the second quarter 2014 monitoring period SCS reported 38.4 hours of downtime for the BFS. Based on the BFS data and 2013 Emissions Test Report results Herst & Associates reported that the LFG extraction system removed approximately 27,242 pounds of VOCs for the second quarter 2014 (Herst, 2014). 1.6 Cannery Waste Land Application Monitoring Cannery waste and land application monitoring (CWLAM) began June 11, 2014. Inspection logs, and weekly total mass nitrogen applied per acre are included in Appendix A. In addition, groundwater analytical results for the CWLAM detection monitoring system are presented in Section 3.1.6 and the composite waste sample analytical results for the GWLAM are presented in Appendix C 2.0 FORWARD UNIT 2.1 Water Quality Monitoring 2.1.1 Sampling and Laboratory Analyses During the second quarter 2014, Del -Tech Environmental Support Services (Del -Tech) measured depth -to -water (DTW) from all Forward Unit wells except well MW -19 on April 16, 2014. With the exception of well MW -19, samples were collected from all Forward Unit wells, including domestic well DW -9690, on April 16 and 17, 2014. Well MW -19 was reported damaged during the original sampling event. Following repairs, well MW -19 was sampled on June 4, 2014. Soil -pore liquid samples were collected from four lysimeters on June 26, 2014. Del -Tech reported that all surface water monitoring stations were dry during the monitoring period. Samples were collected by Del -Tech from each sample point containing sufficient liquid and submitted to BC Laboratories (BC) of Bakersfield, California, a state certified laboratory under contract to Forward. The second quarter 2014 samples were analyzed for the routine monitoring parameters stipulated in RWQCB Order No. 115-2014-0006. M:\ 2014.0012\FA_2Q14.docx 4 7/29/2014, Rev. 0
