For years, the City of San Jose had been monitoring groundwater conditions at Singleton Landfill, for which they are the reponsible party. When the regulating body, the SF Bay RWQCB asked for a more detailed analysis of some recent and historical data, the request was beyond the Citys resources. Based on its previous working relationship with RRM on the Story Road Landfill, the City hired RRM to help comply with the RWQCBs request.
Towards
this end, RRM has begun an in-depth statistical analysis of historical
groundwater data. In addition, RRM has taken over groundwater sampling
and monitoring duties at the landfill. RRM is now working to cut operating
costs by achieving modifications to the sampling, monitoring, and reporting
requirements currently mandated by the regulatory oversight agency.
