SUBJECT: 2011 -2012 Groundwater Monitoring and Related Services
J. C. Elliott Landfill
Corpus Christi, Texas
Dear Mr. Mikolajczyk:
We are pleased to submit the following proposal for professional environmental
services. This proposal presents the scope of work for expanded groundwater
monitoring, and was developed on the basis of our discussions and review of our scope
of work/cost during the last two years of groundwater monitoring at the J. C. Elliott
Landfill.
If a portion of this proposal does not meet your project needs, or if those needs have
changed, Kleinfelder is prepared to consider appropriate modifications, subject to the
standards of care to which we adhere as professionals. Modifications, such as changes
in scope, methodology, scheduling, and contract terms may result in changes to the
quality of the assessments, as well as adjustment to our fees.
SCOPE OF BASIC SERVICES
Performance Period
The services proposed herein will be performed from August 1, 2011 to. July 31, 2012.

Project Summary
Kleinfelder will conduct two sampling events for landfill monitor wells on semi - annual
intervals. These events will include detection monitoring for currently approved
constituents required by TCEQ. The scope of work includes annual reporting and
related groundwater consulting services. A statistical analysis will be performed to
update the background upper prediction limits. Six obsolete monitoring wells will be
decommissioned and reported in accordance with TCEQ requirements.
Defection Monitoring
Detection monitoring during the performance period will
planned for January 2012 and July 2012. Kleinfelde
monitoring wells for the dissolved hazardous metals
organic compounds specified in the Groundwater
(GWSAP) dated December 26, 2007.
The planned sampling schedule is presented in Table 1.
include two monitoring events
r will sample the 23 detection
(Appendix 1 list) and volatile
Sampling and Analysis Plan
Following each semi - annual detection monitoring event, Kleinfelder will compare the
results with background values, and if exceedances occur, Kleinfelder will prepare
notification reports to send to TCEQ.
The estimated cost of this activity is $42,000.

Kleinfelder will submit data semi - annually to the TCEQ, and will prepare the 2012
annual groundwater monitoring report the in accordance with TCEQ requirements in the
regulations and the Groundwater Sampling and Analysis Plan. This report is due 90
days after the last sampling event and is presently estimated for submittal in October,
2011.
Kleinfelder will transmit one paper copy and one electronic copy of the report to the City
of Corpus Christi and 3 paper copies to the TCEQ.
The estimated cost of this activity is $18,500.

Verification Re-sampling
After each detection monitoring event, Kleinfelder will evaluate data to determine if
statistically significant changes (SSC) have occurred_ In the event that such changes
have occurred, Kleinfelder will notify the TCEQ in accordance with the requirements as
described above. Kleinfelder will conduct verification sampling of the well(s) in which
SSCs occurred.
The proposed verification re- sampling budget allows for up to 1 day of sampling per re-
sampling event (up to two annually) and an analytical budget of up to $500 per event.
The estimated cost for this activity is $10,000.
Statistical U date of Background Data
Upon completion of the background monitoring in July, 2011, groundwater data will be
statistically evaluated to include results from the previous monitoring events. Updating
will proceed in accordance with the statistical analysis plan used by the landfill to
determine the values initially. This includes determining the number of results above
detection for each analytelwell combination, examining data for trends, examining
distributional assumptions, estimating results for censored data by appropriate means,
and calculating the upper prediction limit.. The results of the analysis will be presented
to the TCEQ with a request for approval.
The estimated cost for these services is $ 9,000.
MonitOnq_Well Decommissioning
Six monitoring wells (MW -6, MW -9, MW -11, MW -13, MW -14 and MW -15) not required
for future monitoring will be decommissioned. Services will include demolition /disposal
of the concrete pads, steel well covers and protective bollards, pulling removable 4 -inch
PVC casing, pressure cementing the hole or remaining casing to ground surface,
restore well site to surface grade with clean soil, and filing State of Texas well plugging
reports.
The estimated cost for these services is $ 8,500.
Consulting Services
Consulting Services includes activities not specifically related to the collection, analysis,
and reporting of data, such as permit modifications, alternate source demonstrations,
and responding to TCEQ inquiries, notices of deficiency, or notices of violation. In
addition, Kleinfelder may lend its expertise in others matters related to groundwater, as
requested by the City of Corpus Christi.
The estimated cost for these services is $ 5,000.

Assumptions and Exclusions
1. TCEQ is expected to release new guidelines for Practical Quantitation Limits of
laboratory analyses. The new requirements and their potential impact to the
sampling program is not known at this time, and have not been factored into cost
estimates.
2. Sampling labor estimates are based on sampling 4 wells per day. During the
performance period, we anticipate changes in methods in addition to the initial
sampling of new wells whose yield and stabilization characteristics are unknown.
The assumed sampling rate may or may not be realized.
3. The extent of Consulting Services required during the project year cannot be fully
anticipated. The budget should be understood to mean that Kleinfelder will provide
these services up to the budget amount at our rates existing at the time of the
service.
ADDITIONAL SERVICES
The following services are not included in the Basic Services and will be considered as
Additional Services, if required or requested:
• Meetings /interviews other than those described in the Basic Services.

than those described in Basic Services.
• Any other services not specifically included in Basic Services.
DELIVERABLES
One signed, bound copy and one electronic copy of the annual report will be prepared
and transmitted to the City of Corpus Christi. In addition, we will submit three hard
copies of the annual report to the TCEQ.
