There are three agriculture water wells at the entire Forward LandfilllRRF/Composting Facility site. The first well. located near the main entrance of the landfill was drilled to a depth of approximately 135 feet and groundwater occurs at a depth of approximately 70 feet. The 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 1.500 gallons per minute (gpm) at a maximum frequency of approximately 27 times during a typical work+n--a 12 hou r day. Another well is located south of the South Fork of South Littlejohn's Creek, in the southeast corner of the Compost Facility/RRF area. and has a capacity of 500 gpm. The third well is located along the northern bounda ry of the former Austin Road Landfill. This well was installed in 1972 and has a production of approximately 60 gpm. The fact that groundwater flow near the existing 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. One domestic well is located along the eastern boundary of the site , just south of the entrance to the Composting Facilitv/RRF. The locations of the wells located in the Compost Facility/RRF area is shown on Figure 2. On-site water uses include site construction and waste disposal operations. RRF and compost operations . dust control. compaction, irrigation. equipment maintenance operations, sanitary facilities. firefighting. and emergency situations. Bottled water is provided for drinking.
