of vapors, fumes, acids, alkatis, toxic chemicata, liquids, gases or any other material, irritant, contaminant or paliotant in or into the atmosphere or on. onto, upon,
in or into the surface or subsurface.
Sampling or Testing Location - Unless sbeclfically stated to the contrai¥, the unit fees included in this proposal do not include costa associated with professional land
surve~ng of the site or the accurate hodzontst and vertical locations of testa. Field testa or beedg locations described in our report or shown on our sketches are
based on specific information furnished to us by others or estimates made io the field by our technicians. Such dimensions, depths or elevations should be considered
as approximations unless otherwise stated in the report.
Sample Handling and Retsntlon - Generally test samples or specimens are consumed and/or substantialty altered dedng the conduct of tests and A&A, at its sota
discretion, will dispose (subject to the following) of any remaining residue immediately upon completion of test unless required in writing by the Client to store or
otherwise handle the samples. (a) NON HAZARDOUS SAMPLES: At Client's written request, A&A will maintain preservable test samptas and spacimans or the
residue therefrom for thirty (30) days after submission of A&A's report to Client free of storage charges. After the thitial 30 days and upon wdften request. A&A will
retain test specimens or samples for a mutually acceptable storage charge and peedd of time. (b) HAZARDOUS OR POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS SAMPLES: In
the event that samples contain substances or constituents hazardous or dstdmental to human health, safety or the environment as defined by federal, state or local
statues, regulations, or ordinances ("Hazardous Substances" and "Hazardous Constituents", respectively). A&A will, after completion of testing and at Client's expense:
(i) return such samples to Client; (ii) using a manifest signed by Client as generator, will have such samples transported to a location selected by Client for final
disposer. Cliest agrees to pay all costs associated with the storage, transport, and disposal of such samptes. Client recognizes and agrees that A&A is acting as
a bailee and at no time does A&A assume title of said waste.
Discovery of Unanticipated Hazardous Materials - Hazardous matedals or certain typas of hazardous materials may exist at a site where thero is no reason to believe
they coutd or should be present. A&A and Client agree that the discovery of unanticipated hazardous materials constitutes a changed condition mandating a
renegegedon of the scope of work or termination of services. A&A and Client also agree that the discovery of unanticipated hazardous matehebi may make it
necessary for A&A to take immediate rm~asures to protest health and safety. A&A agrees to notify Client as soon as practicable should unanticipated hazardous
materials or suspected hazardous materials be encountered. Client encourages A&A to take any and aJI measures that, in A&A*S professional opinion, are justified
to preserve and protect the haaith and safety of A&A's personnel and the pubtic, Client agrees to compensate A&A for the additional cost of working to protect
employees' and toe public's health and safety. In addition, Client waives any claim against A&A. and agrees to detendl indemnity and save A&A harmless from any

compensate A&A for any time spent and expanses incurred by A&A in defense of any such claim, with such compansation to be based upon A&A'S prevailing fee
schedule and expense reimbursement policy relative to recovery of direct project costa.
Joint and Several Lteblgty - The concept of joint and several liability is basically this: When two or more berries are considered responsible for causing injury or
damage, any one of the parties may be made to provide compensation for as much as 100% of the damages assessed. When applied to hazardous materials
projects, It is passible that the concept of joint and several liability could be construed to make A&A partly or wholly responsible for damages created directly or
indimcgy by the hazan:lous matehals. Client agrees that it would be unfatr for A&A to be exposed to such an action, because A&A had nothing whatsoever to do
with the creation of the hazardous condition. Accordingly, Client waives any claim against A&A, and agrees to defend, indemnify and save A&A harrnless from any
claim or liability for injury or loss adsing from application of a joint and several liability concept that would, in any manner, hold or seek to hold A&A responsible for
creating a hazardous condition or parmithng one to exist. Client also agrees to cempansate A&A for any time spent and expanses incurred by A&A in defense of
any such claim, with such compensation to be based upon A&A'S prevailing f~e schedule and expense reimbursement policy relative to recovery of direct project
costs
Legal Jurisdiction - The parties agree that any actions brought to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall only be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction
Iccatad in OMando, Orange County, Florida.
Force Majeure - A&A shall not he held responsible for any delay or failure in performance of any part of this Agreement to the extent such delay or failure is caused
by fire, flood, explosion, war, stdke, embargo, government requirement, civil or miliary authority, acts of God. act or omission of subcontractors, cardem, client or
other similar causes beyond its control.

Attention: Mr. Robert G. Herman, Assistant Director
Subject:
Proposal for 2003 Groundwater and Gas Monitoring Services In Accordance with
Florida Department of Environmental Protection Permit for Art Lane Landfill,
Sanford, Florida
Gentlemen:
As requested, Ardaman & Associates, Inc. (Ardaman) appreciates the opportunity to present this
proposal for performing the 2003 groundwater monitoring program as stated in the Flodda
Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) Permit Conditions for the subject landfill. This
proposal provides the following services from a network of 8 monitoring wells, 4 gas monitoring
probes and one surface water site:
Biennial monitoring report
Two semiannual FDEP format monitoring reports
Two water table elevation maps
Computer disk for FDEP with each semiannual monitoring report
Four quarterly gas probe monitoring events reports
The existing monitoring network includes 8 wells (MW-3 through MW-10) and one surface water
site (SW-1). Figure 1 shows the approximate monitoring network locations. We recommend that
the City install three bollards around each well and gas monitoring probe similar to what the City
has installed at MW-3. Several of the monitoring wells and/or gas monitoring probes do not have
these protective bollards.
Biennial Monitoring Report
The biennial report should be completed before the two 2003 semi-annual water quality and water
level data are all available. The last biennial report was prepared in December 1999 using historic
data through 1999. This document was prepared as part of the closure application documents.
Closure construction was completed in 2001. This biennial report will summarize and interpret the
water quality data and water level measurements collected during the past four years (1999
through 2002); and will contain:

Tabular and graphical displays of any data which shows that a monitoring
parameter has been detected, including hydrographs, for all monitoring wells.
A comparison of water quality results between the shallow, middle and deep zone
wells.
· A comparison of water quality results between upgradient and downgradient wells.
· Trend analyses of any monitoring parameters detected.
Correlations between related parameters such as total dissolved solids and specific
conductance.
· Discussion of erratic and/or poorly correlated data.
An interpretation of the ground water contour maps, including an evaluation of
ground water flow rates.
An evaluation of the adequacy of the water quality monitoring frequency and
sampling locations based upon site conditions.
For each well, a comparison of 2003 measured total depth with that in well
completion records.
Semiannual Monitoring Reporting
Two semiannual ground water sampling events will be performed, subcontracting with an analytical
chemistry laboratory to perform the required chemical analyses for the two events. In addition, two
semiannual reports will be prepared with these field and laboratory data for the City to submit to
FDEP. The semiannual reporting includes tabular groundwater quality results using FDEP format,
water levels in all wells in a table, a groundwater contour map and a computer disk with water
quality reporting tables.
In accordance with the monitoring plan implementation schedule, semiannual samples from the
ground water monitoring wells will be collected and analyzed as follows: pH (field), specific
conductance (field), turbidity (field), dissolved oxygen (field), temperature (field), total ammonia as
N, chlorides, nitrate, total dissolved solids and the EPA 40 CFR, Part 258, Appendix I parameters
including iron, memury and sodium. These Appendix I parameters include 18 metals and 47
organic constituents.
In accordance with the permit monitoring plan implementation schedule, the semiannual surface
water samples will be collected and analyzed as follows: pH (field), specific conductance (field),
turbidity (field), dissolved oxygen (field), temperature (field), unionized ammonia as N, total
hardness as CaCO3, total organic carbon, total dissolved solids, total suspended solids,
biochemical oxygen demand (5 day), chemical oxygen demand, total nitrogen as N, total
phosphates as P, chlorophyll A, iron, mercury and the EPA 40 CFR, Part 258, Appendix I
parameters.

In addition, ground water levels in all wells and at the surface water site will be measured to the
nearest 0.01 foot and reported in a table as well as on the water quality analyses form. A ground
water contour map for the monitored aquifer zone will also be provided semiannually.
Gas Monitoring Program
Four gas monitoring probes are installed in accordance with the closure specification plans. These
flush mounted probes are located near MW-5, MW-6, MW-8 and MW-9. Four quarterly gas probe
monitoring and reporting events are proposed this year.
The cost estimate for the 2003 monitoring work is provided in Table 1. The monthly invoices will
be based on work expended and units performed in accordance with the contract fee schedule.
The maximum amount not to be exceeded without further written authorization is $26,989.00.
If the proposal meets with your approval, please have the appropriate person sign the enclosed
proposal acceptance forms and return one for our records. The work will be in accordance with
existing contract 98-99-27. Please do not hesitate to contact us should you have questions or need
additional information. We appreciate the opportunity to submit this proposal for these ground
water related services.
Very truly yours,
