<br />With the exception of Waste Management Unit (WMU) A, the Forward Landfill has been
<br />operated as a Class II and Class III landfill since it opened in 1973. However, from 1979
<br />to 1984, industrial wastes, consisting primarily of strontium and barium sludge, were
<br />accepted at the landfill and placed in WMU A. In 1984, the DTSC determined that WMU
<br />A should be closed as a Class I hazardous waste management unit. The final cap was
<br />completed in 1989 (Kleinfelder 1999).
<br />A hazardous waste facility post -closure permit ("the initial post -closure permit") was
<br />issued for the Site on January 2, 1990. On February 25, 1994, Forward Landfill
<br />requested that the DTSC modify the initial post -closure permit to reduce the number of
<br />sampling events from Height per year (two quarterly) to four per year. DTSC approved
<br />this request ("Modification No. 1") in a letter dated March 2, 1994 (Kleinfelder 1999).
<br />On November 4, 1994, a revised post -closure maintenance plan (RPCMP) was submitted
<br />to the DTSC. The DTSC approved the RPCMP and issued Permit Modification No. 2. This
<br />modification superceded all of the requirements of the initial post -closure permit and
<br />Modification No. 1. The DTSC issued a revised Postclosure Permit on June 30, 2003.
<br />Forward Landfill implemented the Corrective Action Program for the site, which was
<br />based on a two-year proof period that began on June 7, 1995.
<br />WDR Order No. 115-2003-0049 was formally adopted by the RWQCB on March 14, 2003,
<br />which combined the former Austin and Forward Landfills into one landfill, now known
<br />as the Forward Landfill.
