individually to the laboratory and at different times. Therefore, the
samples for the different sites will be staggered, with samples for all
sites usually being submitted to the laboratory within a period of
four to five weeks. However, overlapping is possible due to some
sites having more wells to be sampled than others.
b) COUNTY will provide field monitoring data to CONTRACTOR;
c) COUNTY will review and approve all reports and data prior to
CONTRACTOR submitting into the GeoTracker system. The
reviewing process for each report could take the COUNTY up to

3. Constituents of Concern (COCs)
The COCs include a larger group of waste co nstitu e nts, their re action prod ucts ,
and haza rdous con stitue nts that are re asonably expected to be in or derived
fro m waste contained in the waste manag�ment unit, and are req uired to be
monito red every five yea rs [Title 27 , sections 20395 and 20420(g)]. The COCs
fo r all wa ste management units at the facil ity are those lis ted in Tables I
thr ough IV for the specified mon ito red medium, and Tab le VI . The Discharger
shall monito r all COCs eve ry five yea rs , or more freq uently as req uired in
accord ance with a Corrective Action Progr am. The last 5-year COC re port was
submitted to the Central Va lley ·water Board in the 2008 Annual Monitoring
Report, and 5-year COCs are due to be monito red agai n in 201 3.
4. Conce ntrati on Limits
For a natu r ally occurring constituent of co ncern, the co ncentration limit fo r each
co nstituent of concern sha ll be determined as fo llows :
a. By ca lculati on in acco rd ance with a statisti ca l method pursuant to
Title 27, section 2041 5(e)(8); or
b. By an alternate statistical method meeting the re quirements of Title 27,
sect ion 2041 5(e)(8)(E).

5. Retesti ng Proced ures for Confirming Evidence of a Release
If monitori ng re sults indicate meas urably signifi cant evidence of a re lease , as
described in Sta ndard Monitori ng Specification 1.45 of the SPRRs, then:
15
a. For analytes that are detected ·in less than 1 0°/o of the backg round samples
(such as n_on-naturally occurri ng co nstituents), the Disch�rger shall use the
non-statistical retesting proced ure re quired in Standard Monitori ng
Specification 1.46 of the SP�Rs.
b. For analytes that are detected in 1 0°/o or greater of the ba.ckg ro und
sam ples (naturally occu rri ng constituents), the Discharger shall use one of
the statistical . retesting proced ure as req uired ·i n Sta ndard Monitoring
Specification 1.4 7 of the SPRRs.
· ·
6� Point of Compliance ·
The point of compliance fo r the water sta ndard at each waste -management unit
is a vertical surface located at the hyd raulically downgradie nt :limit of the Unit
that exte nds through the uppermost aq u ife r underlying the -unit. The monito ri ng
locations are those approved .in the Detection Monitori ng Prog ram approved by
the Executive Offi cer.
7. Co.mpliance Period
The compliance period for each waste management ·unit shall .be the number of
ye ars eq ual to the active life of the unit plus the closure period . The
com pliance period is the minimum period during wh ich the Discharger shall
co nduct a water quality monitoring program· subseq uent to a ·release fro m the
waste management unit. The· co mpliance period shall begin anew each time
the Disch arger initiates an eva luation monitori ng program [Title 27, section
·
2041 0]. .
8. Mon ito ri ng Points
A monito ring point is a we ll, device, or location specified in the waste dis charge
req uirements at wh ich monitoring -is co nducted and at wh ich the wate r quality
protection sta ndard applies . The mon itoring points fo r each monito red medium
are listed in Section A of this MRP.
D. TRANSMITTAL LETTER FOR ALL REPORTS
A tra nsm ittal lette r explaining the essential points shall accompany each re port. At a
minimum, the tra nsm itta l letter shall identify any ·violations fo und since the last re port
was subm itted , and wh eth er the violations were correcte d . If no viola ti ons have .
occu rred since the last submitt al, this shall be stated in the transm itta l lette r. The

The Caiifornia Reg ional Wate r Quality Control Board, Centra l Va lley Region ,
(hereafter Ce ntral Va l ley Water Board) adopted Order 5-2005-0067 on
29 Ap ril 2005, wh ich class ified the Unit as a Class Ill la ndfill as defi ned in Title
27, Californ ia Code of Reg ulations, Section 20005 et seq . (hereafter Title 27).
The proposed Order revises the existing Waste Discharge Requireme nts to
provi de for changes in the mon ito ri ng and re porting prog ram, allow fo r futu re
expa nsion , allow exca vation of an existing unlined wa ste management unit
(Phase 1 ), and implement corrective acti on .
The la ndfill co nsists of a closed unlined waste management unit (WM U)
cove ri ng 30 acres (Phase 1), and active-com posite -lined WM U cove ri ng
160 acres (Phase II 8 modules), and a 250 acre co mposite lined WM U (Phase
I II) com prised of active Mod ules 1-3 and futu re Mod ules 4-1 2.
The fa cility is located near the trough of the San Joa quin Va lley , wh ich is the
southern portion of the Central Va lley of Californ ia. The Central Va lley is a large,
northwest trend ing structu ral trough bounded by the Sierra Nevada to the east
and the Coast Ra nges to the west, and fi lled with both mari ne and continental
depos its of Jurassic to Holocene age.
The fi rst encounte red groun dwate r ra nges fro m about 112 feet to 140 feet be low

The Disch arger submitted an Ad dendum to the Evaluation Mon i to ri ng Prog ram
dated November 2009, to the original Evaluation Monitoring Program (1 February
2006), det ailing the curre nt re lease of waste constitue nts to ground water, which
are: 1,2,3-tri ch loropropane, 1,2-d ichloropropane, dich lorod i fl uorometh ane,
trich lorofl uoromet hane., 1,1 -d ich loroethane, tetra chloroeth ene, and
· trich loroeth ene.
The Discharger co mple ted afl Ev�luation Monitori_n_g, Prog r�m for the .release of
waste co nstitue nts to the groundwater. The nature of t.he re lease was.
demonstrated to b� volatile organic compounds that originated from landfill gas.
The exte nt of the re lease is a plume down gradient from the Phase I waste .
management unit approximately 2,400 feet to the easte rn boun_dary of the fa cil ity .
The Disch arger co mpleted an Engineeri ng Feasibility Study in accorqance with
Secti on 20425 (c) of Title 27. The Engineering Feasibility Stu9y co ncluded that
the most tech nica lly and economica lly fe asible ·Qorrective acti on alte rnative is
monito red natu ra l attenuation in -co njunction with landfill gas extraction. The ·
Discha rger submitted an Amended Report of Waste Discharge for Corrective
Action in accordance with Section 20425( d) of Title 27 .
Secti on 20080(b) of Title 27 allows the Central Vall�y Water Board to consider
the approva l of an -engineered alte rn ative to the prescriptive sta ndard fo r landfill
liner syste ms. In order to approve an engineered alte rnative in acco rd ance with
Title 27, sections 20080(c)(1) and (2),_ the Discharger must demonstrate that the
pres cri ptive design is unreasonably and unnecessari ly burdensome and wi ll cost
substantially more th an an alternative which will meet the criteria contained in
Title 27, section 20080(b), or wo uld be impracti ca l and wo uld not promote
atta inment of applica ble performance standards.
The Discharger demonstrated that the proposed engineered alternative liner 4
system is consistent with the performance goal add ressed by the particular
prescriptive standard, and prov ides protection against water quality impairment
eq uiva l ent to the prescriptive standard in accord ance with Title 27, section
20080(b )(2).
The engineered alte rnative liner proposed by the Discharger fo r the bottom liner
of the future landfill modules co nsists of, in ascend ing order: . subgrade;
geosy nthetic clay liner (GCL); 60-m il HOPE single sided textured geomembrane;

performance of the g�osyntheti c clay laye rs and/or geomembranes.
The action to revise waste dis charge req uirements fo r this existing fa cility is
exe mpt fro m the provisions of the Califo rnia Environmental Quality Act (CEQA),
Public Re source Code section 21 000, et seq., and the CEQA guidelines, in
accordance with Title 14, section 15301 . ·
This order req uires fu ll containment of wastes and does· not permit degradation of
surface or ground water. Further antideg ra dation analysis is therefo re not
needed. The discharge is co nsiste nt with the antideg rad ati on provisions of State
Water Resou rce Control Board Resolution No. 68-16.

for monito ring parameters and constituents of concern that are detected
in 10% or greater of the backg ro und data (naturally-occurring
constituents) using a statistical proced ure from Title 27, section
2041 5(e)(8)(A-D)] or section 2041 5(e)(8)(E).
e. Include a retesting procedure to confirm or deny measurably significant

su bseq uent sam pl ing of the background monito ring poi nt(s) ind icates significant
water qual ity cha nges due to either seasonal fl uctuations or other reasons
unre iated to waste management activities at the site, the Discharger may
req uest mod ification of the Water Qual ity Protection Standard.
The Discharger proposed the methods for ca lculating concentrat ion limits in the
21 January 2009 Water Quality Protection Standard Report. The WQ PS report
proposed to use lntrawe ll data analysis to calculate tolerance limits for the
mon itored constituents.
The Water Qual ity Protection Standard shall be upd ated annually for each

2. Monitori ng Parameters
Mon itoring pa rameters are a select group of constituents that are mon itored
during each monito ring event that are the waste constituents, reaction products,
hazardous constituents, and physical pa rameters that provide a re liable
ind ication of a release from a waste management unit. The mon itoring
parameters for all waste management un its are those listed in Tables I thro ugh
Ill for the specified monitored med ium.
3. Constitue nts of Concern (COCs)
The COCs incl ude a larger group of waste constituents, their reaction prod ucts,
and haza rdous constitue nts that are reaso nably expected to be in or derived
from waste conta ined in the waste ma nagement unit, and are req uired to be
mon itored every five ye ars [Title 27, sections 20395 and 20420(g)]. The COCs
for all waste management units at the fa cility are t h ose listed in Tables I and II
for the specified mon itored medium, and Table IV. The Discharger shall
monitor all COCs every five years, or more freq uently as req uired in acco rd ance
with a Co rrective Action Prog ram. The last 5-year COC report was submitted to
the Central Va lley Water Board in the 20 12 Annual Monitoring Report, and 5-
year COCs are due to be mon itored aga in in 20 17
4. Conce ntrati on Limits
For a naturally occurring constituent of concern , the concentration limit for each
constituent of concern shall be determ ined as follows:
a. By calcu lation in accorda nce with a sta tistical method pursuant to Title 27,
section 2041 5(e)(8); or
b. By an alternate statistical method meeting the req uirements of Title 27,
section 2041 5(e)(8)(E).
The methods for calculating concentration limits were included in the
21 January 2009 Water Quality Protection Standard Report. The WQ PS report
proposed to use lntrawell data analys is to calcu late tolerance limits for the
mon itored constituents.
5. Retesti ng Proced u res for Confi rm ing Evi dence of a Release
If monito ring re sults ind icate measurably sign ificant evidence of a re lease, as
described in Standard Monitoring Specification 1.45 of the SPRRs, then :
a. For analytes that are detected in less than 10% of the background samp les
(such as non-naturally occu rring constituents), the Discharger shall use the

Specification 1.46 of the SP RRs.
b. For analytes that are detected in 10% or greater of the backg ro und sa mples
(naturally occu rring constitue nts), the Discharger shall use one of the
statistical retesting procedure as req uired in Standard Monitoring
Specification 1.47 of the SPRRs.
6. Point of Compliance
The point of co mpliance for the .water standard at each waste management unit
is a vertical su rfa ce located at the hyd raulically downg ra dient limit of the Unit
that extends through the uppermost aq u ifer underlying the unit. The following
are mon itoring locations at the point of com pliance:

CMW-7
The com pliance period fo r each waste management unit shall be the number of
years equal to the active life of the unit plus the closu re period . The com pliance
period is the minimum period during wh ich the Discharger shall cond uct a water
quality mon itoring program subseq uent to a release from the waste
management unit. The co mpliance period shall beg in anew each time the
Discharger initiates an eva luation mon itori ng program [Title 27 , section 204 1 0].
8. Monitori ng Points
A monitori ng po int is a we ll, device , or location specified in the waste discharge
req uirements , which mon itoring is cond ucted and at which the water quality
protection standard applies . The monito ring poi nts fo r each mon itored med ium

The County of Fres no ope rates and Chevron USA, Inc., (a Delaware Corporation) (landowner),
herei nafter referred to jointly as "Discharger", own and operate the Coalinga Solid Waste
Disposal Site (facil ity) about two miles south of Coalinga. The City of Coal inga leased the site
from Chevron USA and beg an landfill operations from 1961 until 1969. In 1969, the County of
Fresno took over operations until the landfill ceased accepting waste on 10 Nove mber 2009.
The proposed Order re vises the existing WDRs to provide for closure and post-closure
maintenance. The facility conta ins two unlined units , the northern unit covers approximately
14 acres, and the southern unit covers approxi mately 38 acres.
The fa cility is located along the eastern edge of the Coast Ranges adjacent to the southern San
Joaquin Valley and on the northeast flank of a no rthwest pl unging anticline. The Tulare and San
Joaquin Formations are exposed at the site. The Plio-Pleistocene Tulare Formation is exposed in
the northern half of the site and consists generally of strearn deposited , crossbedded silty sandstone
and conglomerate. Some thin-bedded sandstone, clays, and limestones representing lake deposits
are also present in this formation . The base of the Tulare Formation consists of diatomaceous white
si lty clay located just above a pelecypod deposit contai ning Mya species. The underlying PliQcene
age San Joaq uin Formation is exposed in the southern half of the site and consists of marine
deposited , fine-grained si lty sandstone, silt, and clay. The base of the San Joaq uin Formation is
comprised of the Ca scaj o Conglomerate layer, which is blue col ored conglomerate and sandstone
averag ing about 50 feet in thickness. The formations dip approximately 17 degrees to the north.
Based upon the most recent monitoring report (1st Semiannual 201 3), the first encou ntered
groundwater ranges from abou.t 146 feet to 206 feet below the native ground surface.
Groundwater elevations range from about 514 feet MSL to 689 feet MSL. The direction of
grou ndwater flow is generally toward the northeast. The estimated average groundwater
grad ient is approxi mately 0.044 feet per foot. The estim ated average groundwater flow rate is
30.3 feet per year.
The detection monitoring system has been operating at the facil ity since 1990. To date, no
releases from the Units have been confirmed.
The Discharger subm itted a re port titled Desig n of Evapotra nspi rative Final (ET) Cover in
December 201 1. Central Va lley Water Board staff, in a letter dated 11 July 20 12, concu rred with
the Dischargers ET final cover design proposal. The proposed final cover consists of an ET
cover, which is an engineered alternative. In an ET cover design, the low-hyd ra ulic conductivity
layer is replaced by a vegetated soil layer that is engineered and constructed to absorb moisture .
during precipitation events and expel moisture by evaporation and transpiration before it flows
through the base of the cover. The proposed ET fi nal cover consists of a 3.5-foot thick
evapotranspirative cover and vegetative layer that incorporates the existing 1.8-foot thick interim
soil cover. The Discharge submitted a Final Closure/Post-Closure Maintenance Plan in January
20 13. Staff found the Final Closure/Post-Closure Mai ntenance Plan complete and adeq uate in a
letter dated 18 October 20 13. ·

with the waste discharge requirements and the water quality protection standard.
C. WATER QUAUTY PROTECTI ON STANDARD AND COMPLIANCE PERIOD
1. Water Quality Protection Standard Report
For each waste managem ent unit, the water quality protection standard consists of a
list of constituents of concern and monitoring parameters, concentration limits for
each constituent of concern, the point of compliance, and all monitoring points.
The Discharger shall submit a proposed water quality protection standard for revie w
and approval within one year from the date of adoption of this Monitoring and
Reporting Progr::;..m by the Board. The Executive Officer shall review the data and the
proposed water quality protection standard in determining the final water quality
protection standard for each monitored medium.

The report shall:
-3-
a) Identify all di stinct bodie s of ground water that could be affected in the event
of a release from a waste management unit or portion of a waste management
unit. This list shall include at least the uppermost aquifer and any permanent or
ephemeral zones of perched groundwater underlying the waste management
facility.
b) Include a map showing the monitoring points and background monitoring points
for the saturated zone(s) and showing the point of compliance in accordance
with §20405 of Title 27.'�
c) Evaluate the perennial direction(s) of groundwater movement within the
uppermost groundwater zone(s).
If subsequent sampling of the background monitoring point(s) indicates significant
water quality changes due to either seasonai fluctuations or other reasons unrelated to
waste management activities at the site, the Discharger may request modification of
the water quality protection standard.
2. Constituents of Concern
The constituents of concern are the waste constituents, reaction products, and
hazardous constituents that are reasonably expected to be in or derived from waste
con tained in the waste management unit. The constituents of concern for all waste
management units at the facility are those listed in Table IV. The Discharger shall
monitor all constituents of concern in Table IV every five years, or more frequently
as required in accordance with a Corrective Action Program.
a. Monitoring Parameters
Monitoring parameters are the waste constituents, reaction products. hazardous
constituents, and physical p arameters that provide a reliable indication of a
release from a waste management unit. The monitoring p arameters for all waste
management units are those listed in Tables I through IV for the specified
monitored medium.
3. Concentration Limits
Tne concentration limits for each constituent of concern are as follows:
a. for naturally occurring constituents of concern, the concentration limit shall be
the calcuiated statisticai concentration limit.

-4-
b. for anthropogenic (not naturally occurring) constituents, which have no natural
and, therefore, no background values, the concentration limit (water quality
protection standard) shall be the detection limit of the analytical method(s) used.
The Discharger shall use the statistical method approved by the Executive Officer and
the groundwater quality data obtained from the detection monitoring program to
revise the concentration limits annually. The Discharger shall submit the revised
concentration limits to the Executive Officer for review and approval in the annual
monitoring report.
4. Po int of Compliance
The point of compliance for each waste management unit is the vertical surface
located at the hydraulically downgradient limit of the waste management unit that
extends through the uppermost aquifer underlying the unit.
a. Monitoring Points
All downgradient wells established for groundwater monitoring shall constitute
the monitoring points for the groundwater quality protection standard. All
approved monitoring wells and leachate monitori_ng points shall be sampled and
analyzed for monitoring p arameters and constituents of concern as indicated and
listed in Tables I through IV.
S. Compliance Period
The compliance period for each waste management unit shall be the number of years
equal to the active life of the waste management unit plus the closure period. The
compliance period is the minimum period during which the Discharger shall conduct
a water quality monitoring program subsequent to a release from the unit. The
compliance period shall begin anew each time the Discharger initiates an evaluation
monitoring program.
D. MONITORING
The Discharger shall comply with the detection monitoring provisions of Title 27 for
groundwater in accordance with Detection Monitoring Specification D.2 and D.3 of Waste
Discharger Requirements Order No. 99-124. All monitoring shall be conducted in
accordance with a Sample Collection and Analysis Plan, which includes quality
assurance/quality control standards, that is acceptabie to the Executive Officer.

The Discharger shall collect, preserve, and transport groundwater samples in
accordance with the approved Sample Collection and Analysis Plan.
The Discharger shail determine groundwater flow rate and direction in the uppeuuost
aquifer and in any zones of perched water and in any additional zone of saturation
monitored pursuant to this Monitoring and Reporting Program, and report the results
quarterly, including the times of highest and lowest elevations of the water levels in
the weiis.
Groundwater samples shall be collected from the point of compliance wells,
background wells, and any additional wells added as part of the approved
groundwater monitoring system. Samples shall be collected and analyzed for the
monito ring parameters in accordance with the methods and frequency specified in
Table I. All monitoring parameters shall be graphed so as to show historical trends at
each well. The monitoring p arameters shall also be evaluated annually with regards
to the cation/anion balance, and the results shall be graphically presented using a Stiff
diagram or a Piper graph. Samples for the constituents of concern specified in Table I
shall be collected and analyzed in accordance with the methods listed in Table N
