• Field Sampling and Analysis: Describes the procedures used for well site inspection, monitoring well gauging, and low-flow sampling methods, including stabilization criteria.
• Laboratory Analysis: Lists the parameters analyzed, including volatile organic compounds, TAL Metals, and general groundwater chemistry. It details sample collection, preservation, and handling specifications.
• Quality Assurance and Quality Control (QA/QC): Outlines the QA/QC samples collected (trip blanks, field duplicates, matrix spikes) and discusses findings related to potential cross-contamination and analytical precision.
• Data Presentation and Evaluation: Presents groundwater flow data and analytical results, highlighting constituents that exceeded quality standards. It also notes the historical detection of toluene, which was not detected in 2024.
• Statistical Evaluation: Analyzes groundwater data from 2006 to 2024 using EPA's ProUCL software to identify statistically significant differences in chemical concentrations between background and downgradient wells.
• Findings and Recommendations: Summarizes key findings, including groundwater elevation fluctuations, flow direction, and the detection of constituents above screening levels. WWC Engineering recommends continued monitoring of the landfill.
