One well. located near the main entrance to the landfill was drilled to a depth of approximately 135 feet and groundwater occurs at a depth of approximately 70 feet. This well was likely installed before the opening of the landfill. having been previously used for agricultural purposes. It is pumped at a rate of approximately 1500 gallons per minute (gpm ) at a maximum frequency of approximately 27 times during a typical work day. Another well is located south of the South Fork of South Littlejohn's Creek. in the southeast corner of the RRF/Compost Facility area . and has a capacity of 500 gpm. The third well is located along the northern boundary of the landfill. This well was installed in 1972 and has a production of approximately 60 gpm. The fact that groundwater flow near the Forward Landfill is not modified by pumping from this well suggests that it is screened in a confined unit below the uppermost groundwater units that are monitored at the site.
