noted(see signed"Certification Statement"located inside cover page, after the Table Of Contents in this report). 3.0 SOLID WASTE MONITORING The French Camp Landfill has been formally closed and no longer receives waste (Appendix A). 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 between August 18 and 26, 2010. Quarterly depth-to-water and stream gauging was performed on August 18 and 19, and December 2, 2010. A single sample set was collected from each sampling point(groundwater, leachate, and surface water) and analyzed by Test America Laboratories for the parameters stipulated in RWQCB Order No. R5-2007-0046, as summarized in Table 1. Water quality samples were also analyzed in the field for dissolved oxygen,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 field(ambient)blank, one trip blank, and three laboratory method blanks. The trip and field blanks were analyzed for volatile organic compounds (VOCs)by EPA Method 8260. Laboratory method blanks were analyzed for all of the analytes included in the monitoring program. During the monitoring period, acetone was detected at a trace concentration in one of the method blanks. However, acetone was not detected in any of the primary samples collected during the monitoring period. A duplicate sample was collected from well MW-2 and was labeled MW-DUP. Duplicate test results are presented along with the primary data in Table 3. Comparison of the primary and duplicate sample results, when both results are measurable concentrations above the practical quantitation limit(PQL)indicates good agreement(within 5%), except for calcium, magnesium, and potassium where the relative percent difference varied from 18 to 53 percent. In addition, four VOCs(1,1- 1D:12010-0030\FC 2SA10.doc _ 2
