Any agreement resulting from the successful proposal shall be for a three (3) year period and will require the submittal of quarterly monitoring reports. Select quarterly reports will include 1) an annual summary of monitoring activities (due in April of each year); 2) results of leachate sampling (performed in October of each year, with retesting performed in April of each year); and 3) the results of annual testing of leachate containment and recovery system equipment to be performed prior to October 31 of each year (required and reported to the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB). In addition, the agreement will require electronic submittal of groundwater and leachate analytical data into in a database each quarter as required by the State Water Resources Control Board. All supporting witnessing, supervision, analyses, documentation and liaison as needed and described herein will be provided. Monitoring Support. Consultant will collect the required samples from the designated sampling locations and submit samples to the City-selected, State-certified laboratory for analysis.

All sample analyses will be checked against sample collection dates to verify that holding times were met. Analytical results will also be checked to verify that all required analyses have been performed and that laboratory quality assurance results were within acceptable limits. Any identified problems will be detailed in the quarterly reports. The procedure for laboratory data entry includes manual transfer of data into the existing database. Water level information and field data will also be manually input. All data entered into the database will be checked to ensure that the database is accurate. Laboratory reporting limits, BPOs, and maximum concentration levels will be highlighted with bold font so that the reader can easily discern potential problems. Statistical analysis of the water quality data will be performed by Consultant. In addition to the statistical analysis of metals surrogates and selected general minerals, selected volatile organic compounds detected at the landfill since September, 1998, will be statistically analyzed to establish concentration limits equal to background concentrations during this portion of an extended evaluation monitoring period. VOC statistical analyses will be performed as data quantity and quality permit for each compound of concern, on a per-well basis, using intra-well methods as well as background-to-compliance comparisons. Charts and tables will be used to illustrate VOC statistical findings. The quarterly groundwater monitoring reports will include the following information: A transmittal letter containing an abbreviated summary, including discussions on violations and any actions taken or planned.
An executive summary of current monitoring results.
A discussion of groundwater occurrence and movement, including hydrographs for each well, Project Type RFP (Request for Proposal)
