of CLF. Flare was down at 1:15pm due to power outage. Monitored the restart of the Flare at 1:30pm. Checked area Northwest of CLF for levels of CH4. Readings remain the same even with pulling form the North header. Greased blowers and exercised valves at Flare. Took monthly readings of flow meter. Sounded CLF EW-1 through EW-24 gas wells on the North header for water, to see if that was obstructing gas flow. Cornerstone instructed us to dig test pits at the points of high levels of CH4. The test pits reviled little to no garbage but had higher amounts of CH4 the deeper we dug. Greased blowers and exercised valves at Flare. Took monthly readings of flow meter. Pumped water out of previously sounded wells. CLF EW-12 and EW-14 both had less than a gallon each. 2015 Work and Activity Performed October 19, 2015 • • October 20, 2015 • October 21-23, 2015 October 28, 2015 • • • • November 10, 2015 November 16-17, 2015 • • • November 18, 2015 • November 18-21 2015 • • • December 1, 2015 • • • • • December 3, 2015 CLF crew used robotic camera to evaluate sewer line next to area of gas migration. During which time nothing was discovered to look out of the ordinary. CLF crew also plotted the points of an old leachate pond that was in the same area of the gas migration. Thoughts were that garbage could have been at the bottom of the pond when it was filled in after the closure of the landfill. CLF crew took more samples at gas migration site to locate any other points. They concluded that there were 3 points of concern at this time. Collected data on CLF and RR1. CLF crew installed drain on CLF EW-73 so they could remove water from header. November 3, 2015 Closed RR1 valve at 8:00am so work could be performed in well field. CLF crew and Cornerstone worked on RR1 EW-4 to EW-10. The header connecting the two wells was excavated, so that the header could be lifted allowing water to drain properly. Greased blowers and exercised valves at Flare. Took monthly readings of flow meter. CLF crew excavated the North header at EW-13 so that they could install a 10" tee. The work was done in preparation for an upcoming project with Cornerstone to remediate the migrating gas. CLF crew and cornerstone continued on the work done the days before. They installed a horizontal gas well into the area of migrating gas with hopes to collect it and send it to the Flare. The horizontal well was completed and will now be referred to as EW-13A. Collected data on CLF and RR1. Removed water from vaults on RR1. Sampled new gas well EW-13A. CLF crew would only keep the well open until it would crash. Due to this it was monitored daily. Greased blowers and exercised valves at Flare. Took monthly readings of flow meter. Tightened all valves and fittings at the Flare. Drained water from header at EW-73. CLF crew sounded wells on CLF. No water was found but wells in area known as ballfield seemed to be sucking back into the center of landfill. 2015 Work and Activity Performed December 14, 2015 • • December 15-19, 2015 • • • CLF crew plotted a grid in the area of EW-13A. They then began to take bar samples in the area to evaluate if the horizontal well was helping. At this time there were still high levels of CH4. CLF crew had meeting with the Parks department to discuss remapping of bio-diversity zones. We were only there to aide Parks with information of CLF and RR1. Collected data on CLF and RR1. Removed water from vaults on RR1. Removed water form header at EW-73. 2016 Work and Activity Performed January 4, 2016 • • • January 5-7, 2016 January 19, 2016 • • • January 20, 2016 • • February 12, 2016 February 19-23, 2016 February 23-24, 2016 • • • • March 1, 2016 • • • March 7, 2016 • March 14-17, 2016 • • • • March 23-24, 2016 • March 25, 2016 • Flare shut down at 6:00am due to power outage. We monitored the restart of the flare at 7:15am. Greased blowers and exercised valves at Flare. Took monthly readings of flow meter. We then replaced flow meter with a calibrated one and had this on sent out for calibration. Collected EW-13A data, then sampled gas in migration area. Collected data for CLF and RR1. CLF crew used a TVA-1000 to test the air about the gas migration area. High levels of CH4 were found and the area was coned off to prevent the public from entering. CLF crew had meeting
