All testing, monitoring protocols <br /> and reporting were performed in general conformance with Title 27 California Ccde of Regulations <br /> (CCR)Article 6. Briefly,these regulations require that solid waste disposal site o,vners/operators <br /> implement LFG control or monitoring provisions to ensure that methane gas concentrations in soils <br /> at the property boundary do not exceed the lower explosive limit(LEL, or 5 percent by volume)and <br /> that interiors of on-site structures do not exceed 1.25 percent by volume in air. Below is a summary <br /> of our quarterly monitoring activities. <br /> SUMMARY, CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS <br /> On November 28, 2023, no methane gas (the combustible component of LFG) it excess of the LEL <br /> was detected at any location tested. These results indicate that at the time of our testing,the <br /> subject site perimeter subsurface monitoring probes were in compliance with the requirements of <br /> Title 27 CCR Article 6. <br /> GAS TESTING INSTRUMENTATION AND METHODS <br /> Testing for methane gas, oxygen gas,carbon dioxide gas and pressure was perfcrmed using a Landtec <br /> GEM-5000 Gas Analyzer or equivalent calibrated to methane gas. This instrument measures <br /> combustible gas concentrations in air directly on either of two scales,the first as percent by volume of <br /> the lower explosive limit(LEL) of methane gas in air(0 to 5 percent);the other as percent by volume (0 <br /> to 100 percent) in the gas sampled. The detection limit for this instrument is approximately 0.10 <br /> percent by volume. <br /> Gas monitoring well testing procedures are as follows: <br /> • Connect sample tubing,open test valve, observe pressure, and record data. <br /> • For probes 20 feet deep or less,turn on sample pump, observe and record methane, <br /> oxygen, and carbon dioxide gas concentrations,when readings have stabilized for 30 <br /> seconds. <br /> 4730 Enterprise Way, Suite A Modesto, CA 95356 1 209-545-8490 t 0 <br />
