All water from the FRRF is held in the lined impoundment and then sampled and analyzed in accordance with applicable Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) monitoring requirements. All non -contact water in the southwest pond is sampled and analyzed in accordance with Forward Landfill's Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan and Storm Water Monitoring Plan. If the pond is at capacity and the stormwater samples comply with the discharge requirements, non -contact water may be discharged to the South Fork of the South Branch of Little Johns Creek. A log is kept on site recording the volume of non -contact water discharged to the creek from the sedimentation pond. The northwest pond includes a spill way that allows non -contact water to flow directly into the North Fork of the South Branch of Little Johns Creek. However, the non -contact water is sampled and analyzed in accordance with Forward Landfill Storm Water Monitoring Plan before the elevation of non -contact water in the pond is at the spillway elevation. If the non -contact water is unacceptable for release, the liquid will be transferred to the double lined leachate evaporation ponds. The top deck of the Austin Road Unit of the Forward Landfill has been graded to drain to the access road and benches. The non -contact water is then directed to the sedimentation ponds via a system of V -ditches. Down drains have been constructed to prevent erosion. V -ditches along the north and west of Austin Road Unit are graded to direct non -contact water to the existing sedimentation pond. Stormwater that drains along the vegetated northern slope of the Austin Road Unit is collected in a ditch that borders the perimeter road. Historically, stormwater that has accumulated in this ditch has been manually pumped to the stormwater retention ponds, and this process will continue as necessary. A lift station is located at the eastern end of the ditch so that accumulated stormwater is automatically pumped to the stormwater pond when necessary. 4. Leachate All active WMUs are built to Subtitle "D" standards and have complete leachate collection and removal systems (LCRSs) installed. Leachate is collected at the sump located in each WMU and directed to one of two leachate evaporation ponds. One pond is located in the southwest corner of
