Mr. Himanshu H. Mehta, P.E. 20 December 2024 Page 3 Pursuant to this request the SWDD installed one groundwater monitoring well (MW -49S) in July 2017. These and other wells (MW -21S, MW -335, MW -35S, MW -40S, MW -49S, MW -50S, MW -51 S, and MW -52S) and seven surface water (SW) Lateral Canal (LC) sample sites (SW - LCI, SW-LC2, SW-LC3, LC-SW4, LC-SW5, LC-SW6, and LC-SW8) have been sampled quarterly from July 2017 to October 2020 under an evaluation monitoring program with the FDEP. However, in correspondence dated 14 October 2019 from the FDEP to the SWDD, the FDEP approved the SWDD's request to replace the evaluation monitoring of the eight groundwater wells and surface water sample sites with quarterly assessment monitoring and with the addition of other parameters (arsenic, benzene, naphthalene, and other semi -volatile organic compounds [VOCs]) to the suite of parameters to be analyzed for at these wells. The FDEP also requested sampling of additional surface water sites in the Lateral C Canal for the purpose of establishing background water -quality conditions. Therefore, in 2020 Geosyntec working on behalf of the SWDD sampled all seven surface water sites except for April 2020 where the FDEP agreed to a reduction to three locations. The reduction to three surface water sampling locations was approved for sampling events and the total number of surface water sampling locations is assumed to be seven for the 2025 sampling events. In 2021, Geosyntec working on behalf of the SWDD eliminated six surface water sampling locations (SW-LC2, LC-SW5, LC-SW7, LC-SW8, LC-SW9 and LC -SWI 0) and discontinued the sampling of MW -33S and MW -35S. Additionally, Geosyntec working on behalf of the SWDD in 2021 reduced the collection frequency of arsenic, benzene, naphthalene, 1 -methylnaphthalene, 2 -methylnaphthalene, acenaphthene, and anthracene at MW -21S and MW -49S from quarterly to semi-annual. Geosyntec will continue working with the FDEP to further reduced the surface and groundwater quarterly sampling scope at the C&D debris disposal facility in 2025 in order to provide overall cost savings to the County. Therefore, in addition to the semi-annual sampling of the C&D debris disposal facility monitoring wells in January and July 2025, six wells and four surface water sample sites will also be sampled in April and October 2025 as part of the 2025 compliance monitoring and reporting program. Quarterly Assessment Monitoring for the Class I Landfill A comment letter from the FDEP dated 6 May 2020 provided comments regarding the results of the January 2020 Semi -Annual Water Quality Monitoring Report for the Class I landfill. The FDEP provided notification to the SWDD to initiate evaluation monitoring at all monitoring wells with detected exceedances above applicable (GCTLs for pH, ammonia, chloride, sodium, total dissolved solids (TDS) and arsenic. Geosyntec provided a response to comments (RTC) letter to the FDEP comment letter on 28 May 2020 which focused on the long-term trends with the dataset available from the FDEP Water Assurance Compliance System (WACS) database and requested a reduction of evaluation monitoring locations from 25 locations (as originally NCP2323548/JL23073_2025 Compliance Monitoring Proposal engineers I scientists I innovators
