Analysis
Federal and state landfill regulations require that all permitted Subtitle D landfills monitor groundwater at the landfill boundaries to ensure that no contaminants are discharged or that landfill operations do not adversely affect human health or the environment. The City of Grand Prairie is required to conduct semi-annual monitoring of groundwater monitoring wells at the landfill for detection monitoring. Routine detection monitoring on a semiannual basis is a requirement for all active landfills and all landfills in post-closure for at least 30 years after the landfill closes.
This two-year engineering consultant contract with Weaver Boos Consultants LLC Southwest will provide for purging, sampling, analysis, statistical comparisons and state reporting requirements.

Funding for the costs for purging, sampling, analysis, statistical comparisons and state reporting requirements for groundwater monitoring for $54,644.is available in the FY 2012/2013 Solid Waste Operating Fund (303510-61405).
