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 All of the groundwater and leachate monitoring wells and surface water monitoring points were sampled between August 5 and 6, 2013. Quarterly depth-to-water and stream gauging were performed on August 5 and November 29, 2013. 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 trip blank sample, and laboratory method blanks. The trip blank was analyzed for VOCs by EPA method 826013. Laboratory method blanks are analyzed for all of the analytes included in the monitoring program. During the monitoring period, acetone was measured above the practical quantitation limit(PQL)in the trip blank sample. However, acetone was not detected in any of the primary samples collected during the monitoring period. In addition, trace concentrations of chloride and sodium were measured in one or more of the laboratory method blanks,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 well MW-7A and was labeled DUP. Duplicate test results are presented along with the primary data in Table 2. 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 4 percent.
