C.1.1 BACKGROUND APG occupies over 72,000 acres used for a variety of purposes, including research & development, training activities, and residential use by over 22,000 people. The APG Solid Waste (SW) Program requires solid waste services to meet the requirements of the state of Maryland and Army Regulation 200-1, Environmental Protection and Enhancement. The Solid Waste Program includes sampling of various SW streams and monitoring of groundwater and methane gas at two closed rubble landfills. The Phillips Army Airfield (PAAF) and Westwood Rubble Landfills are located in the Aberdeen area and Edgewood Area of Aberdeen Proving Ground respectively.

Waste accepted at these landfills included concrete, brick, stone, metal, asphalt, plastic, and other construction and land clearing debris. Final closure of PAAF and Westwood landfills began in March 2001 and July 2002 respectively and ended on June 7, 2002 and September 23, 2003 respectively, both with the final walkthrough and approval by MDE representatives. C.1.2 OBJECTIVE The APG Solid Waste Program, which includes the Groundwater Monitoring Program at PAAF and Westwood Rubble Landfills conducts sampling and monitoring in accordance with (IAW) the groundwater discharges permits issued by the MDE. The objective of this task order is to meet those requirements. C.2.0 APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS.
