observations were conducted during the monitoring period and no areas of concern were noted(see signed"Certification Statement"included in Appendix A). 3.0 SOLID WASTE MONITORING The French Camp Landfill has been formally closed and no longer receives waste. 4.0 WATER QUALITY MONITORING 4.1 SAMPLING AND LABORATORY ANALYSES With the exception of well MW-6A, all of the groundwater and leachate monitoring wells and surface water monitoring points were sampled on September 11, 2012. MW-6A was reported dry during the September 2012 sampling event. Quarterly depth-to-water and stream gauging were performed on September 11 and November 17, 2012. A single sample set was collected from each sampling point(groundwater, leachate, and surface water) and analyzed by BC 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 oxidation-reduction potential,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 blank sample, one trip blank sample, and one laboratory method blank. Field and trip blanks are analyzed for VOCs by EPA method 8260B. Laboratory method blanks are analyzed for all of the analytes included in the monitoring program. During the monitoring period, no VOCs were detected in blank samples. Trace concentrations of chloride and sodium were measured in the laboratory method blank, though, these detections were at very low, trace concentrations that did not affect the interpretation of primary sample results. A duplicate sample was collected from leachate well MW-2 and was labeled Duplicate. 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 with a relative percent difference of less than six percent. Review of sampling dates and laboratory analytical certificates indicates that all of the laboratory analyses were c:UO12-002TFc2sn12.aoe 2Geo-Logic /Associates
