2016 Annual Report Irondale Waste Disposal Site The Corporation of the Township of Minden Hills Cambium Ref. No.: 4713-007 March 24, 2017
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Cambium Inc. was retained by the Corporation of the Township of Minden Hills to complete the 2016 annual monitoring program at the Irondale waste disposal site. The site is approved for the use and operation of an eight (8) hectare landfill within a total property area of 17.2 hectares for the disposal of domestic and wood waste generated in the Township of Minden Hills and the southwest portion of the geographic Township of Glamorgan (Municipality of Highlands East).
The shallow groundwater configuration indicated that the predominant groundwater flow direction is to the northwest to the down-gradient surface water systems. Leachate indicator parameters for the Site include: alkalinity, boron, calcium, chloride, hardness, magnesium, nitrate, potassium, sodium, sulphate, total dissolved solids, and manganese.
Minor groundwater quality impacts are present at the eastern and western property boundaries, as evidenced by the presence of leachate indicator parameters at monitoring wells 98-5, 98-6, 98-7 and 98-8 at concentrations greater than the natural background concentrations. Due to natural attenuation, the elevated concentrations observed at these monitors are less than those observed at the monitors directly down-gradient of the waste mound (i.e. OV3, 98-11, and 98-12).
There were some Reasonable Use Concept criteria exceedances observed along the east and west property boundaries in 2016; however, these were observed to be sporadic (total dissolved solids) or naturally elevated concentrations (manganese). In addition, as the down-gradient groundwater is interpret to discharge to surface water on-site, which is considered a reasonable use of the groundwater; the intent of the Reasonable Use Concept is considered to be met at all down-gradient property boundaries.
In 2016, the downstream surface water quality was comparable to background water quality. Additionally a Surface Water Trigger Mechanism was used to assess the potential for impact to the surface water systems on Site. Where Tier I of the trigger mechanism was observed to be activated in 2016, no impacts were observed to be related to the Site and Tier II monitoring was not initiated. Given the continued un-impacted nature of the downstream surface water locations, as well as the dry conditions observed intermittently during the summer sampling event, changes in the sampling program and sampling frequency are recommended. .
The volume of material placed in the landfill during the period between November 2015 and November 2016 was approximately 1,240 cubic metres. The remaining volume is approximately 27,180 cubic metres, however; due to the natural topography and surrounding environment, remaining site capacity is considerably less than the reported volume.
In 2016, 38.97 tonnes of blue box recyclables were diverted from the Irondale waste disposal site.

2.0 METHODOLOGY
All field work was completed by Cambium field personnel. Groundwater and surface water samples were collected using standard field sampling protocol at the locations and frequency shown in Table 1. The work program completed in 2016 was to maintain compliance with the Site ECA and the MOECC. As such, the environmental monitoring work program was completed in accordance with the reports entitled Guidance Manual for Landfill Sites Receiving Municipal Waste (Ministry of Environment, 1993) and document entitled Monitoring and Reporting for Waste Disposal Sites, Groundwater and Surface Water, Technical Guidance Document (Ministry of the Environment, 2010).
Field tasks were completed following Cambium’s Standard Operating Procedures developed from recognized standard procedures such as those listed above and the MOECC document Guidance on Sampling and Analytical Methods for use at Contaminated Sites in Ontario (Ministry of the Environment, 1996). A health and safety program was developed for Site specific conditions and all Cambium personnel working on the project were familiarized and required to follow the identified protocol. All collected surface water and groundwater samples were stored in coolers with freezer packs and maintained less than 10°C during transport to the SGS Environmental Analytical Laboratory in Lakefield, Ontario (SGS). SGS is accredited by the Canadian Association for Laboratory Accreditation Inc. (CALA), for specific environmental tests listed in the scope of accreditation approved by the CALA.
2.1 GROUNDWATER MONITORING PROGRAM
Cambium staff visited the Site on April 27 and October 11, 2016, to collect samples from the following monitoring wells outlined in the 2016 environmental monitoring program:
98-5 98-6 98-7 98-8 98-9
98-11 98-12 OV3 MW12-13
The following exceptions to the sampling program were noted in 2016:
October: OV3 (damaged) and 98-9 (dry)
The following tasks were completed as part of the monitoring program:
Prior to sampling, water levels were measured at each monitoring well using an electronic water level tape.
Each groundwater monitoring well to be sampled was purged of approximately three (3) well bore volumes. Where wells were observed to go dry, only one (1) well volume was purged. The volume of groundwater to be purged was calculated on-site during each monitoring event using the measured water level and the well diameter. Purged water was disposed of on-site, down-gradient of each respective monitor.
Cambium Inc. Page 3 2016 Annual Report Irondale Waste Disposal Site The Corporation of the Township of Minden Hills Cambium Ref. No.: 4713-007 March 24, 2017
Samples were collected using dedicated polyethylene tubing equipped with inertial-lift footvalves.
Where required (i.e. groundwater for metals analysis), samples were field filtered.
Field measurements were collected including: pH, conductivity, temperature, dissolved oxygen (DO), and oxygen reduction potential (ORP).
The monitoring well locations are shown on Figure 3. Groundwater elevation data is summarized in Table 2 and groundwater quality data is summarized in Table 3 and Table 4. A discussion of the water quality observed is included in Section 4.1.
The field data sheets completed during the 2016 monitoring program and weather data are included in Appendix C and laboratory Certificates of Analysis as received from the SGS laboratory are included as Appendix D. Historical groundwater quality data dates back to 1993 and is presented in Appendix E.
The following blind duplicate groundwater samples were collected as part of the Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) program. In addition to these samples, the laboratory completes internal QA/QC. The results of the QA/QC program are presented in Section 4.1.
April: MW12-13
October: MW98-11
2.2 SURFACE WATER MONITORING PROGRAM
Cambium staff conducted Site visits to collect surface water samples from existing surface water monitoring stations at the Site on April 27, July 5, and October 11, 2016.
SW1 SW2 SW3 SW4
The following exceptions to the sampling program were noted in 2016:
Surface water locations SW2 and SW4 were observed to be dry during the July sampling event.
The following tasks were completed as part of the monitoring program:
Surface water samples were collected by immersing the sample container into the water body.
Where sample bottles were prefilled with preservatives, a clean bottle was used to collect and decant the water directly into the sample bottle.
Field measurements were collected including: pH, conductivity, temperature, DO, and ORP.
Where possible, the following measurements were collected at each surface water location: depth, width, and flow velocity measurements.
Cambium Inc. Page 4 2016 Annual Report Irondale Waste Disposal Site The Corporation of the Township of Minden Hills Cambium Ref. No.: 4713-007 March 24, 2017
The surface water sampling locations are shown on Figure 2. A discussion of the surface water quality is included in Section 4.2 and analytical results are included in Table 5.
The surface water field sheets are provided in Appendix C, laboratory Certificate of Analysis as received from the SGS laboratory are included as Appendix D, and photographs of each surface water sampling station are included as Appendix F. Historical surface water quality data dates back to 1993 and is presented in Appendix E.
The following blind duplicate surface water samples were collected as part of the QA/QC program. In addition to these samples, the laboratory completes internal QA/QC. As this represents 10 percent of the samples taken, this program is considered sufficient. The results of the QA/QC program are presented in Section 4.2.
April: SW4
July: SW1
October: SW3
2.3 LANDFILL GAS MONITORING PROGRAM
Landfill gas is not actively managed at the Site. The large, open site area and isolated location from the public supports passive landfill gas management, which allows generated landfill gas to naturally disperse through the waste and naturally-permeable cover soil to the atmosphere.
2.4 TOPOGRAPHIC SURVEY
On November 24, 2016 Cambium staff conducted a topographic survey of the Site to determine the remaining capacity of the waste disposal site and estimate the remaining life of the Site. The topographic survey was completed using Top Con Total Station equipment and/or a Topcon Real Time Kinematic (RTK) enabled HiPer II system with an FC-25 field controller. The survey data were used to prepare updated plans of the site using AutoCAD software. The November 2016 Site survey was then compared with the November 2015 Site survey using Digital Terrain Modelling (DTM), to determine the change in volume of the waste mound. DTM is a computerized process that utilizes the prismoidal volumetric difference of two digital terrain models (topographical surveys). The results of the topographic survey are discussed in Section 5.8.
2.5 SITE INSPECTION AND OPERATIONS OVERVIEW
Site operations were observed during the visits conducted by Cambium staff in May, July and October 2016. During these visits the following items were inspected on accessed areas of the Site and observations noted in the field file:

3.0 GEOLOGICAL AND HYDROGEOLOGICAL CONTEXT
3.1 TOPOGRAPHY AND DRAINAGE
The Site is located in the centre of the Burnt River watershed (a sub-watershed of the Gull River watershed), adjacent the eastern drainage divide (Trent Conservation Coalition Source Protection Region, 2012). The Site is located within the physiographic region known as the Georgian Bay Fringe (Chapman and Putnam, 1984). The Irondale River, Drag River, and Union Creek watersheds all drain into the Burnt River watershed. The Burnt River watershed discharges into Cameron Lake, located just south of Coboconk. There are no provincially significant wetlands within 500 m of the Site.
Locally, the Site is situated in an area of rolling topography largely influenced by underlying bedrock. Bedrock outcrops are visible at surface near the Site and trend in an east-west orientation. On-site surface water drainage flows towards the north and west and is controlled by the underlying bedrock. An unnamed wetland is located immediately north of the Site and is drained by a small channel to flowing to the north. Surface water sampling stations SW2 and SW3 are stationed directly on the wetland drainage channel. Surface water sampling station SW1 is located east of the Site, up-gradient from surface water sampling stations SW2 and SW3. Surface water sampling station SW4 is located down-gradient of surface sampling stations SW2 and SW3 and monitors surface water flowing off-site, under Milburn Road. All of the surface water sampling locations are stationed on a watercourse that intercepts several uncategorized wetlands. The locations of the surface water sample stations are shown in Figure 2.
Discharge rates measured during the 2016 sampling events are summarized and surface water UTM coordinates are included in Embedded Table 2.

A review of the 2016 precipitation data (Environment Canada, 2016) in comparison to the average precipitation for Haliburton County (1981 to 2010; (Government of Canada, 2015)) indicated average precipitation was generally consistent with the averages; however, the month to month varied significantly in some cases. March, August, and December were observed to receive significantly more precipitation than historically observed (i.e. greater than 175 %) and May, September, and November were observed to receive significantly less precipitation
Cambium Inc. Page 7 2016 Annual Report Irondale Waste Disposal Site The Corporation of the Township of Minden Hills Cambium Ref. No.: 4713-007 March 24, 2017
(i.e. less than 50 %). The remaining months were observed to be similar to historical results. The total precipitation received during and in the three (3) days before each sampling event is summarized herein:
April: 4.0 mm
July: 0.0 mm
October: 1.6 mm
3.2 HYDROGEOLOGY
The stratigraphy of the site consists of Precambrian bedrock overlain by sandy glaciofluvial sediments. The underlying Precambrian bedrock is composed of granites and gneisses. Flow within the bedrock is assumed to be limited to fracture flow. The hydraulic conductivity of fractured flow in granitic type rock is typically low, around 10-8 to 10-11 centimetres per second (cm/s) (Freeze & Cherry, 1979). There is one (1) water well record identified within 500 m of the waste mound. This well is located approximately 200 m to the northwest of the Site, cross- gradient, and is installed in the deep bedrock aquifer, approximately 43 m below ground surface (mbs). Given the conceptual site model indicates leachate impacted waters will travel along the overburden/bedrock surface until discharging to surface north of the waste mound, impacts to this well are not expected. Refer to Appendix G. for a copy of the well record.
The overlying discontinuous glaciofluvial sand deposits have previously reported hydraulic conductivities ranging from 10-3 to 10-5 cm/s (Robinson Consultants Inc., March 2001). The significant difference in hydraulic conductivities between these two (2) geologic units effectively makes the granitic bedrock an impermeable barrier to groundwater flow. Bedrock is shallow on-site (generally found within 5 m of the surface) therefore groundwater flow in the overburden deposits is largely controlled by bedrock orientation. This is evidenced by the numerous wetlands and low-lying wet areas found in the region. Shallow groundwater in the overburden aquifer discharges to surface water systems down-gradient of the Site to the north of the waste mound.
Every monitoring well on-site has been installed in overburden sediments, the texture of which ranges from coarse sand to sand and some silt. The majority of monitoring wells were installed at auger refusal, which is the inferred bedrock contact. A hydrogeological cross section of the Site based on well log interpretations is provided with the borehole logs and water well details in Appendix G.
Groundwater monitors OV3, 98-11, and 98-12 are located directly down-gradient of the waste mound. Monitoring wells 98-5, 98-6, and 98-7 monitor groundwater quality along the eastern property boundary. Monitoring well 98-8 is located near the western property boundary, and monitoring well 98-9 is located up-gradient and south of the waste mound. Monitoring well MW12-13 was installed in October 2012 to replace monitor 98-10. It was noted in the 2015 Annual Report (Cambium Inc., 2016) that monitor OV2 was not sampled in October, and that the monitoring well may be buried or destroyed. Efforts were undertaken in 2016 to discern the location and status of
Cambium Inc. Page 8 2016 Annual Report Irondale Waste Disposal Site The Corporation of the Township of Minden Hills Cambium Ref. No.: 4713-007 March 24, 2017 monitor OV2, but to no avail. Given that monitors 98-5 and 98-6 are located northeast and down-gradient it is not recommended that monitor OV2 be replaced.
3.2.1 GROUNDWATER FLOW DIRECTION
The groundwater elevation, the water table gradient, and the groundwater flow direction were determined by utilizing groundwater level data acquired by Site visits in 2016. The groundwater configuration is presented in Figure 4. The groundwater elevation data recorded from 2005 to 2016 are presented in Table 2 and are presented in Figure 5. Water levels have remained relatively stable since 2005.
The local water table at the Site is observed at depths ranging from ground surface at the northeast edge of the waste mound (98-8) to nearly 3.0 m below ground surface (bgs) at the south of the waste mound (MW12-13).
The water levels measured during the 2016 groundwater monitoring program indicated that the flow was to the northwest within the waste mound area of the Site, consistent with historical observations. The shallow groundwater flow within the waste mound was observed to flow to the northwest at an average gradient of 0.058 in April and 0.028 in October.
There are no multi-level monitoring wells on-site; therefore, vertical gradients could not be determined. Given the discontinuity in hydraulic conductivities between the overburden and bedrock aquifer, the downward vertical migration of leachate is expected to be minimal. As such, the primary pathway for leachate impacted groundwater is within the shallow overburden aquifer, migrating towards the north along the overburden/bedrock contact to the surface water systems down-gradient of the mound.
3.3 CONCEPTUAL MODEL
By reviewing past studies related to Site operations (Robinson Consultants Inc., March 2001), citing known characteristics of granite fracture flow (Freeze & Cherry, 1979), and monitoring groundwater elevations reported in the overburden aquifer, the following conceptual model of the Site has been created.
Groundwater percolates downward through glaciofluvial sediments and waste until it contacts shallow bedrock. Leachate impacted groundwater migrates laterally from the waste mound and discharges to surface waters in the nearby surface water system.

4.0 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Water quality data generated from current and historical monitoring programs are analyzed to determine the existence, extent, and severity of impacts (if any) to groundwater and surface water environments derived from waste disposal activities. To ensure that appropriate procedures are in place to respond to any potential degradation beyond an acceptable limit in groundwater or surface water quality, Site specific trigger levels and contingency plans are required. Regular updates and comparisons of the Site specific triggers will aid in the assessment of any impacts from leachate contamination and to help prevent adverse impacts to the environments surrounding the waste disposal site.
This section presents the results of the 2016 monitoring program completed at the Site as compared to available historical data and discusses observed trends in the groundwater and surface water quality.
4.1 GROUNDWATER QUALITY
Groundwater quality data reported from on-site monitoring wells dating from 2005 to 2016 are presented in Table 3 and Table 4; historical groundwater quality is included in Appendix E, as originally included in the report entitled 2004 Annual Report, Irondale Waste Disposal Site (SGS Lakefield Research Limited, March 2005). The concentrations of select leachate indicator parameters, as was present in 2016, are shown on Figure 6.
The groundwater quality data for samples collected in 2016 have been compared historic results, background water quality data, and the MOECC Guideline B-7 Reasonable Use Concept (RUC) (Ministry of the Environment, April 1994). As the hydrogeological conceptual model for the Site indicates groundwater discharges to surface to the north, the water quality at the shallow monitors located in the low lying wet area (i.e. 98-11, OV3, 98-5) are compared to the Provincial Water Quality Objectives (PWQO; (Ministry of the Environment, July 1994)). Comparison to PWQO criteria aids in predicting any potential adverse impacts to the surface water down-gradient of the Site resulting from leachate impacted groundwater discharging to surface, and was recommended by the groundwater reviewer in comments dated February 9, 2017 (Appendix B). Refer to Table 6 for this assessment.
Duplicate samples were collected from monitoring wells MW12-13 in April and 98-11 in October as part of the QA/QC program. The duplicate samples showed excellent correlation with their corresponding sample; however, slight variances were noted in select parameters. Embedded Table 3 outlines the variances in the groundwater QA/QC program in 2016:
Cambium Inc. Page 10 2016 Annual Report Irondale Waste Disposal Site The Corporation of the Township of Minden Hills Cambium Ref. No.: 4713-007 March 24, 2017
Embedded Table 3 Groundwater QA/QC Evaluation Monitoring Well Sampling Event Parameter Relative Percent Difference (RPD) Phenols At least 67% greater Lead 169% lower MW12-13 April Molybdenum 37% lower Titanium 42% lower Total phosphorus At least 67% lower 98-11 October Lead 176% greater Zinc 40% greater Note: Concentrations are reported as compared to the original sample, i.e. lower than or higher than what was reported in the original sample.
The noted variances in the parameter concentrations between the duplicate sample and the original sample did not affect the interpretation of the groundwater quality at these locations or the overall observations regarding groundwater quality at the Site. The groundwater quality reported in 2016 can therefore be interpreted with confidence.
4.1.1 BACKGROUND WATER QUALITY
Background water quality is reported from monitoring well 98-9. Groundwater quality reported at this monitoring well has been assumed to be representative of background groundwater since it is located directly up-gradient of the waste mound. Groundwater quality reported at monitoring well 98-9 generally exhibits low concentrations of alkalinity, chloride, and total dissolved solids (TDS) with a consistently low or acidic pH. Concentrations of most metals have been observed to be low with the exception of aluminum, iron, and manganese. It is noted that parameter concentrations at this monitor fluctuate annually, which is likely due to the fluctuating water table reported at the Site. The water quality reported at this monitor in 2016 was generally consistent with historical results. During 2016 monitoring well 98-9 is considered representative of background conditions at the Site.
4.1.2 LEACHATE CHARACTERISTICS
A leachate well has not been constructed at the Irondale Site. Water quality reported from groundwater monitoring wells OV3 are considered representative of leachate quality at the Site since several commonly observed leachate indicator parameters (LIPs) are regularly reported at concentrations greater than those reported in the background water quality. In addition, monitoring well OV3 are located immediately down-gradient of the waste mound. Historic well OV2 was also used to determine the LIPs for the Site; however, has not been found since the spring of 2015 and is assumed destroyed. Leachate indicator parameters (LIPs) for the Site are summarized in Embedded Table 4.
Cambium Inc. Page 11 2016 Annual Report Irondale Waste Disposal Site The Corporation of the Township of Minden Hills Cambium Ref. No.: 4713-007 March 24, 2017
Embedded Table 4 Leachate Indicator Parameter alkalinity boron calcium chloride hardness magnesium manganese nitrate potassium sodium sulphate total dissolved solids (TDS)
It was noted previously that iron and manganese have been elevated at the background monitoring well in the past, likely due to the nature of the soils surrounding the Site. Many parameters (i.e. dissolved organic carbon (DOC), calcium, magnesium, manganese, iron, and an acidic pH) have been observed to naturally occur in wetland/peat environments and in areas exhibiting a water table (Bendell-Young, 2003). When reviewing down- gradient water quality, impact from landfill leachate will be delineated by examining those parameters not typically observed in background water quality and/or wetland environments. It is noted, analysis of biological oxygen demand (BOD) and total suspended solids (TSS) required to be completed at monitor OV2 as a leachate well, will not be completed at monitor OV3.
Monitoring well OV3 was noted as damaged in the spring of 2016, and in such a condition in the autumn that a sample was not able to be collected. Efforts should be taken in 2017 to repair this monitor; if the well cannot be repaired, it should be decommissioned and replaced.
Groundwater sampled from monitoring well OV3 and OV2 was submitted for analysis of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) during the April 2012 sampling event. Every parameter was reported less than the method detection limit (MDL) at monitoring well OV2 with the exception of chloro-benzene and 1,1-dichloro-ethane, which were both reported at relatively low concentrations. Every parameter was reported less than the MDL at monitoring well OV3 (Table 4). The next VOC analysis of these wells is scheduled for 2017.
4.1.3 DOWN-GRADIENT GROUNDWATER QUALITY
North of the Waste Area Monitoring wells 98-11 and 98-12 are located directly down-gradient the waste mound. Monitoring well 98-11 is located less than 10 m down-gradient and is centered north of the mound; monitoring well 98-12 is located to the northwest of the mound, immediately adjacent the active filling area.
Monitoring well 98-11 typically exhibits poorer groundwater quality than monitoring well 98-12, which is not unexpected given their respective locations. Groundwater sampled from monitoring well 98-11 routinely reports parameters at a concentration greater than background concentrations. Monitoring well 98-11 is considered to be moderately impacted by landfill leachate. Most parameter concentrations in 2016 were observed within historical concentrations.
Groundwater sampled from monitoring well 98-11 was submitted for analysis of VOCs during the April 2012 sampling event. Every parameter was reported less than the MDL. The next scheduled VOC analysis for this location is 2017.
Cambium Inc. Page 12 2016 Annual Report Irondale Waste Disposal Site The Corporation of the Township of Minden Hills Cambium Ref. No.: 4713-007 March 24, 2017
Groundwater quality reported from monitoring well 98-12 generally exhibits several parameters at concentrations greater than background water quality. Concentrations of most parameters were reported within historically observed ranges during the 2016 monitoring program. Concentrations of boron have continued to increase steadily over time, despite the concentrations reported for April and October as less than those reported in the previous monitoring year, which was noted as the highest yet recorded. Some parameters exhibit fluctuating and variable concentration profiles at this location, but all are within the historic range. The remainder are either stable or decreasing at this location.
East of Waste Area Groundwater monitoring wells 98-5, 98-6, and 98-7 are located 25 metres northeast and east of the waste mound at the eastern property boundary. These wells generally report LIPs at concentrations greater than background. These locations are interpreted to be slightly impacted by landfill leachate, however, trends of decreasing concentration have been noted at these monitoring wells since the fill beyond approved limits was relocated in 2007 and 2008 (Cambium Environmental Inc., March 2010).
Groundwater sampled from monitoring well 98-6 is to be submitted for analysis of VOCs in 2017. The previous sampling event was during April 2012 where all parameter concentrations were observed to be less than the MDL.
West of Waste Area Groundwater monitoring well 98-8 is located approximately 45 m down-gradient and northwest of monitoring well 98-12, in close proximity to the western property boundary. Groundwater sampled from monitoring well 98-8 is generally of better quality than water sampled from monitoring well 98-12, with the exception of those parameters associated with wetland and peat environments (i.e. iron, manganese, and an acidic pH). It is noted, this monitor is installed only 1.5 mbgs and the attached borehole log indicates that the overburden observed at this location was entirely peat and mulch (Appendix G). In 2016, the water quality at this location was observed to be consistent with historical results.
The MOECC groundwater reviewer in correspondence dated February 9, 2017 recommended that a study on the highly elevated iron and manganese concentrations at this location be completed (Appendix B). Given that iron and manganese concentrations are observed to be decreasing or stable, this well is generally observed to have low concentrations of all other LIPs, and iron and manganese are well documented to be elevated in wetland type environments such as those observed at monitor 98-8 (Bendell-Young, 2003), Cambium does not believe additional study is warranted at this time. Should concentrations be observed to increase and/or if additional LIP concentrations are observed to increase, a study should be completed.
Cambium Inc. Page 13 2016 Annual Report Irondale Waste Disposal Site The Corporation of the Township of Minden Hills Cambium Ref. No.: 4713-007 March 24, 2017
Cross-gradient of Waste Area Monitoring well MW12-13 is located approximately 20 m south of former monitoring well 98-10. Groundwater quality reported from monitoring well MW12-13 typically reports LIP concentrations, as well as several other parameters at concentrations greater than those reported from 98-10 historically and currently at monitoring well 98-9. Groundwater quality reported up-gradient and down-gradient of monitoring well MW12-13 is of better quality; therefore, the poor water quality reported at this location may be naturally occurring or derived from an off- site source. Given the close proximity to a roadway, elevated concentrations of sodium and chloride are indicative of road salting operations. Additionally, elevated metals and base cation concentrations may be related to salt use on the adjacent road. Salt influences the chemistry of the soil in which it infiltrates and can release metals (e.g., aluminum, zinc, copper, cobalt, mercury, cadmium) and base cations (calcium, magnesium, potassium) (Health Canada, 2001). Regardless of the source, the concentrations observed are generally observed to meet compliance criteria, as discussed in Section 4.1.4 and are not interpreted to be a potential adverse impact to off-site receptors.
4.1.4 REASONABLE USE CONCEPT
Where groundwater is observed to discharge to surface, this is considered a reasonable use of the groundwater; therefore, MOECC Guideline B-7, Reasonable Use Concept (RUC) (Ministry of the Environment, April 1994) is considered to be met if groundwater discharges to surface on-site. Previously, it was interpreted that Guideline B- 7 was there met at the Site given that groundwater was interpreted to be discharged to surface north and down- gradient of the waste mound. Recent correspondence from the MOECC indicated that this is not the case for the eastern and western property boundaries. As such, a RUC assessment is completed herein at monitors 98-5, 98- 6, and 98-7 to assess compliance on the east boundary and at monitor 98-8 to assess compliance along the west boundary of the Site.
The MOECC Reasonable Use Policy states that, in accordance with the appropriate criteria for particular uses, a change in quality of the groundwater on an adjacent property will be accepted only as follows:
The quality cannot be degraded by an amount in excess of 50% of the difference between background and the Ontario Drinking Water Standards (ODWQS) for non-health related parameters and in excess of 25% of the difference between background and the Ontario Drinking Water Standards for health related parameters. Background is considered to be the quality of the groundwater prior to any man made contamination.
MOECC Procedure B-7-1.
The maximum concentration of a particular contaminant that is considered acceptable in the groundwater beneath an adjacent property is calculated in accordance with the following relationship:
Cambium Inc. Page 14 2016 Annual Report Irondale Waste Disposal Site The Corporation of the Township of Minden Hills Cambium Ref. No.: 4713-007 March 24, 2017
Cm = Cb + x (Cr - Cb)
Where: Cm = maximum concentration accepted
Cb = background concentration
Cr = Maximum concentration permitted in accordance with the Ontario Drinking Water Standards x = a constant that reduces the contamination to a level that is considered by the MOECC to have a negligible effect on water use. i.e. 0.5 for non-health related parameters 0.25 for health related parameters.
In 2016, the RUC values were calculated using the median value of the background concentration (Cb) from a minimum of the previous five (5) sampling events, as required by MOECC Eastern Region Technical Support
Section. The maximum allowable concentration (Cm) of any particular parameter may be calculated using the background concentration of that parameter from a monitor up-gradient of the Site, the designated ODWQS for that parameter, and a constant that reflects whether the parameter is health or aesthetic-related as defined by the ODWQS. Where background concentrations were less than the laboratory method detection limit, the method detection limit was used as the background concentration. The calculated Cm for the Site was set as the RUC.
Where the background concentration exceeded ODWQS, the Cb was set as the RUC value.
In 2016, the RUC concentrations were calculated for the Site using background water quality from monitoring well 98-9 (Figure 3). The RUC values were calculated for all of the LIPs for the Site, as defined in Embedded Table 4.
In 2016, the RUC assessment included monitoring wells 98-5, 98-6, and 98-7 to assess compliance on the east boundary and at monitor 98-8 to assess compliance for the western property boundary. Given its proximity to the property boundary, albeit cross-gradient of the waste mound, monitor MW12-13 was also considered in this assessment. The analytical results of the water quality data indicated that the RUC concentrations have been met with the exception of the following parameters in 2016:
98-6: TDS and manganese in October only
98-8: manganese in April and October
MW12-13: manganese in April and October
The elevated concentrations of manganese observed at the down-gradient wells were observed to within concentration ranges observed in the background water quality at monitor 98-9 and are considered to be naturally occurring in the area. The elevated concentrations for TDS at monitor 98-6 are sporadic and not observed to persistently exceed the RUC criteria. As such, the intent of the Reasonable Use Concept is interpreted to be met along the east and west property boundaries. Further, the Reasonable Use Concept is met along the north boundary give that groundwater discharges to surface north of the waste mound; therefore, the Site is interpreted to be in compliance with Guideline B-7.

4.1.5 GROUNDWATER / SURFACE WATER INTERACTION
Since the 2012 monitoring program, monitoring wells located on the edge of the wetland have been compared against PWQO criteria because the groundwater sampled by these wells is discharged to nearby surface water systems (Cambium Environmental Inc., 2013). As recommended by the MOECC, current and historical groundwater quality data reported from monitoring wells 98-5, 98-11, OV2, and OV3 were compared to PWQO criteria, the results of which are presented in Table 6. Note that OV2 was not able to be found in 2016 and well OV3 was observed to be damaged in October and could not be sampled. Although it is not recommended that monitor OV2 be replaced, as discussed in Section 3.2, it is recommended that monitor OV3 be repaired in 2017 such that leachate concentrations can continue to be monitored at the Site.
Several LIP concentrations exceeded the PWQO criteria at monitoring wells 98-5, 98-11, and OV3 in 2016. Those wells located closest to the waste mound (monitoring well 98-11 and OV3) exhibited notably poorer groundwater quality than monitoring well 98-5. Monitoring well 98-5 is located the farthest down-gradient out of the three (3) wells, indicating that natural attenuation is occurring on-site. It is therefore anticipated that leachate impacted groundwater will reach an acceptable level of attenuation before discharging to the surface water systems located north and northeast of the Site. Additionally, the down-gradient surface water sampling stations reported exceedances of parameters dissimilar to those associated with landfill leachate, indicating that landfill leachate is not significantly impacting down-gradient surface water systems. Refer to Section 4.2 for this assessment.
4.1.6 SUMMARY
Overall, groundwater sampled from those monitoring wells directly down-gradient of the waste mound was reported as being slightly to moderately impacted by landfill leachate, depending on the location. Due to the natural attenuation observed between the furthest down-gradient wells and those wells located adjacent the waste mound, the leachate plume is not expected to extend much beyond the current monitoring well network. Several of the LIP concentrations have developed trends of decreasing/stable concentrations at those wells impacted by landfill leachate.
4.2 SURFACE WATER QUALITY
All surface water samples were submitted for the parameters listed in Table 1 and the water quality data from 2005 to 2016 are summarized in Table 5. Historical surface water quality is included as Appendix E, as originally included in the report entitled 2004 Annual Report, Irondale Waste Disposal Site (SGS Lakefield Research Limited, March 2005).
Cambium Inc. Page 16 2016 Annual Report Irondale Waste Disposal Site The Corporation of the Township of Minden Hills Cambium Ref. No.: 4713-007 March 24, 2017
In order to assess the potential impact of the Site on the local surface water regime, water quality data for the upstream and downstream surface water monitoring stations were compared. This assessment assists in determining the magnitude of any landfill impact(s) on local surface water quality.
The 2016 surface water quality results for each monitoring location were compared with historical data from each sampling location, background surface water quality, the PWQO (Ministry of the Environment, July 1994), the CCME CWQG for PAL (Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment, 2014), the British Columbia Water Quality Guidelines (British Columbia Ministry of the Environment, 2016), and the parameters identified in the surface water trigger mechanism (Section 4.2.3).
Duplicate samples were collected at surface water sampling stations SW4 in April, SW1 in July, and SW3 in October. Results from the duplicate analyses indicate good correlation with the original sample; however, some variances between the samples as noted in Embedded Table 5.
Embedded Table 5 Surface Water QA/QC Evaluation
Sampling Location Sampling Event Parameter Relative Percent Difference
Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) 100% greater SW4 April phenols 120% greater cadmium 35% greater TDS 33% greater SW1 July Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen (TKN) 33% greater boron 50% lesser cadmium 72% greater SW3 October total phosphorus 56% greater selenium 33% greater Note: Concentrations are reported as compared to the original sample, i.e. lesser than or greater than what was reported in the original sample.
The noted variances in the parameter concentrations between the duplicate sample and the original sample did not affect the interpretation of the surface water quality at these locations or the overall observations regarding groundwater quality at the Site. In many cases the RPD high RPD observed was due to the low concentration of the parameters observed and did not ultimately represent a significant difference. The surface water quality reported in 2016 can therefore be interpreted with confidence.
4.2.1 BACKGROUND
Surface water monitoring station SW1 is located upstream of the waste disposal area and is considered representative of background surface water quality on-site. Surface water sampled at station SW1 is characterized by fluctuating concentrations of most parameters, several of which regularly exceed PWQO criteria,
Cambium Inc. Page 17 2016 Annual Report Irondale Waste Disposal Site The Corporation of the Township of Minden Hills Cambium Ref. No.: 4713-007 March 24, 2017 including the following: pH, phenols, aluminum, copper, iron, lead, phosphorous, silver, and dissolved oxygen (DO).
In 2016, the following parameter concentrations did not meet the PWQO criteria:
April: field pH (low), and iron
July: field pH (low), aluminum, iron, total phosphorus
October: phenols, aluminum, and iron
All parameter concentrations were reported within historical ranges at this location in 2016.
4.2.2 DOWNSTREAM SURFACE WATER QUALITY
Surface water monitoring station SW2 is located approximately 50 m north of the waste mound on a drainage channel within the wet area interpreted to be the primary receiver of leachate impacted groundwater. In the past, it has been anticipated that this surface water sampling location would report impact from landfill leachate; however, no significant impact from landfill leachate has yet been reported.
The water quality reported at surface water station SW2 is generally of similar to or, in some instances, better quality than background water quality. The PWQO exceedances at surface water station SW2 in 2016 were similar to those reported in background water quality and included the following:
April: phenols, aluminum, and iron
October: phenols, aluminum, and iron
In 2016, the concentrations of most parameters were reported within historically observed ranges. Where concentrations were observed to be slightly elevated in 2016, this was attributed to climatological impact; continued monitoring in 2017 will confirm.
Surface water monitoring station SW3 is located east of the eastern property boundary, approximately 180 m north of the waste disposal area. The surface water quality reported at surface water station SW3 has been similar to the surface water quality reported at station SW2 and the background water quality. This is evidenced by similar PWQO exceedances and similar fluctuations in parameter concentration. In 2016, PWQO exceedances included the following:
April: aluminum, and iron
July: pH (lab, low), aluminum, iron, and total phosphorus
October: pH (lab, low), phenols, aluminum, iron, and total phosphorus
The concentration of all parameters and PWQO exceedances were reported within historical ranges.
Cambium Inc. Page 18 2016 Annual Report Irondale Waste Disposal Site The Corporation of the Township of Minden Hills Cambium Ref. No.: 4713-007 March 24, 2017
Surface water station SW4 is the farthest downstream surface water sampling station from the waste mound and the background surface water station. Surface water quality reported at this surface water station is generally of similar quality to background water quality, including regular PWQO exceedances and fluctuations in parameter concentration. In 2016, the following parameters did not meet the PWQO criteria: -
April: aluminum, and iron
October: phenols, aluminum, iron, and total phosphorus
The concentrations of all parameters were reported within historical ranges. Parameters exceeding the PWQO criteria report similar concentrations to background, and other upstream monitoring stations.
In correspondence dated October 15, 2014, the MOECC reviewer noted that lead reported in surface water should be compared against the CCME CWQG for lead instead of the PWQO (Cambium Inc., 2016). The CWQG states that the guideline for lead is dependent on the hardness of the surface water. When hardness is present at less than 60 mg/L, the corresponding guideline for lead is 0.001 mg/L (Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment, 2014). The PWQO guideline for lead is also dependant on hardness. When hardness is present at concentrations less than 30 mg/L the guideline for lead is 0.001 mg/L. In 2016, the concentration of hardness was reported to be less than 30 mg/L at every surface water station during each sampling event (this has been the trend historically as well); therefore, the current PWQO guideline used by Cambium is valid.
Further, the parameters chloride and nitrate were compared against the CCME CWQG (Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment, 2014) as no PWQO criteria exist for these parameters. Sulphate was compared against the BC WQG (British Columbia Ministry of the Environment, 2016), as this parameter is also not represented in the PWQO. All parameter concentrations reported at all surface water monitoring stations reported concentrations well below the applicable criteria. Surface water quality will continue to be compared to these guidelines and criteria, as these parameters at elevated concentrations can pose a health risk to aquatic life (Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment, 2014). Additionally, Cambium will continue to compare lead concentrations in the surface water to a criterion of 0.001 mg/L, provided that the hardness remains below 30 mg/L.
4.2.3 SURFACE WATER TRIGGER MECHANISM
A surface water trigger mechanism for the Site is detailed in the report entitled Site Development and Operations, 2000 Monitoring Report (Robinson Consultants Inc., March 2001). The surface water trigger mechanism is a prescribed process that alerts landfill operators to impacts from landfill leachate and the appropriate responses to the findings. The objective of the surface water trigger mechanism is to confirm that the surface water quality downstream of the Site is suitable for beneficial uses and determine the degree to which the landfill and Site
Cambium Inc. Page 19 2016 Annual Report Irondale Waste Disposal Site The Corporation of the Township of Minden Hills Cambium Ref. No.: 4713-007 March 24, 2017 operations are affecting the quality of surface waters at some defined point. Surface water use downstream of the Irondale waste disposal site is assumed to be primarily for aquatic habitat.
The surface water trigger mechanism requires the review of the potential impact to the surface water regime on an annual basis. The list of recommended trigger parameters was expanded in 2007 to include the leachate indicator parameters alkalinity, boron, chloride, hardness, nitrate, sodium, sulphate, TDS, and un-ionized ammonia (Cambium Environmental Inc., March 2008). The trigger parameter concentrations are defined for the Site as 75 percent of the RUC values (Ministry of the Environment, July 1994) calculated for background groundwater water quality. For those parameters regulated under the PWQO, the PWQO criteria are used as the trigger value concentrations. Lastly, aside from the designated trigger parameters, any parameters which are observed to exceed the PWQO with the exception of selected metals (i.e. cobalt, strontium, silver, iron, aluminum, and manganese) are also required to be assessed.
The water quality at surface water monitoring stations SW2 and SW3 are the primary trigger locations given their close proximity to the Site. Table 7 presents a comparison of the trigger values against the parameter concentrations at these locations for 2007 to 2016.
The trigger mechanism is defined as a three (3) tier system and is as follows:
Tier I Trigger Level
Any two (2) consecutive surface water samples from the routine annual monitoring program that exceed the defined trigger values or other parameters exceeding the PWQO with the exception of selected metals (i.e. cobalt, strontium, silver, iron, aluminum, and manganese) at surface water stations SW2 and SW3 may trigger the Tier I monitoring as indicated herein. Subsequent to the exceedance of one (1) or more parameters, an assessment will be provided to determine the necessity of Tier II monitoring. Metals are common in the natural environment and may be a result of weathering of nearby igneous and/or sedimentary rocks.
Tier II Trigger Level
Tier II monitoring will consist of consecutive monthly surface water sampling for the four (4) locations (i.e. SW1, SW2, SW3, and SW4). The list of parameters will be as in the routine sampling. The Tier II monitoring results shall be provided to the MOECC District Manger as soon as they are available. Any two (2) consecutive surface water samples from the Tier II monitoring program that exceed values as indicated above, will trigger the implementation of the appropriate contingency plan(s) and Tier III monitoring as outlined below.
Tier III Trigger Level
Within 60 days of the triggering of Tier III (i.e. two (2) consecutive monthly exceedances), the municipality will provide to the MOECC District Manager a detailed work plan and implementation schedule for an appropriate contingency to control leachate and Tier III monitoring program to verify the effectiveness of the contingency.
Cambium Inc. Page 20 2016 Annual Report Irondale Waste Disposal Site The Corporation of the Township of Minden Hills Cambium Ref. No.: 4713-007 March 24, 2017
Following approval from MOECC, these will be immediately implemented. Contingency Options may include the following:
enhancement of the wetland facility. This would entail increasing the retention time in the wetland to further treat chemical concentrations;
provide an attenuation zone to control any off-site impact;
collection and treatment of contaminated groundwater or surface water north of the active filling area; and/or,
pumping and treatment of contaminated groundwater from purge wells.
4.2.3.1 COMPLIANCE ASSESSMENT
The activation of the Tier I trigger mechanism requires one (1) or more of the following to occur:
two (2) consecutive surface water samples from the routine annual monitoring program that exceed the defined trigger values; that is the exceedances of 75 percent of the RUC values for the following parameters: alkalinity, boron, chloride, hardness, nitrate, sodium, sulphate, TDS, and unionized ammonia (shown in Table 7).
two (2) consecutive surface water samples from the routine annual monitoring program that exceed the PWQO with the exception of selected metals (i.e. aluminum, cobalt, iron, strontium, silver, and manganese) at surface water stations SW2 and SW3 (Table 5).
Exceedances of the Trigger values in 2016 are listed below:
SW2: none
SW3: none
Exceedances of the PWQO criteria, for two (2) or more consecutive occasions in 2016 (omitting those parameters stated above) are listed below:
SW2: phenols
SW3: pH (lab; low) and total phosphorus
In 2016, there were no reported exceedances of the trigger values from station SW2 and SW3. Regardless, given that concentrations of phenols at surface water location SW2 and pH (lab; low) and total phosphorus at station SW3 exceeded the PWQO on two (2) consecutive occasions, the Tier I trigger was activated. Tier I specifies: Subsequent to the exceedance of one (1) or more parameters, an assessment will be provided to determine the necessity of Tier II monitoring.
Cambium Inc. Page 21 2016 Annual Report Irondale Waste Disposal Site The Corporation of the Township of Minden Hills Cambium Ref. No.: 4713-007 March 24, 2017
In reviewing the concentrations of phenols, lab pH, and total phosphorus at background station SW1 in 2016, concentrations in the downstream water quality were observed to be similar to those observed in the upstream water quality. As such, no impacts were observed to occurring at the downstream locations from the Site and Tier II monitoring is not required.
4.2.4 SUMMARY
Surface water quality reported in 2016 was consistent to that reported in previous years. In general the surface water quality reported at the three (3) downstream surface water sampling locations were similar to the background water quality reported in 2016. Where Tier I of the trigger mechanism was observed to be activated in 2016, no impacts were observed to be related to the Site and Tier II monitoring was not initiated.
Given the continued un-impacted nature of the downstream surface water locations, as well as the dry conditions observed intermittently during the summer sampling event, it is recommended to reduce the frequency of the surface water sampling to twice annually, to be completed in the spring (high flow) and autumn (low flow). In addition, the parameter list should be reduced to those listed in Column 4 of Schedule 5 of the Landfill Standards (Ministry of the Environment, January 2012), as well as the following designated LIPs for the Site: boron, hardness, magnesium, manganese, potassium, and sodium. Lastly, as stations SW1, SW2, and SW3 adequately monitor potential impacts from the Site, station SW4 should be removed from the monitoring program.

5.0 SITE OPERATIONS
5.1 SITE ACCESS AND SECURITY
The Site is accessed from the north side of Milburn Road. Natural topography, a man-made berm, natural vegetation, and trees help to partially obscure the Site from view. A chain link gate approximately 2.5 m high is located at the entrance to the Site to control unauthorized Site access. A sign at the entrance to Site indicates the ECA number, hours of operation, service area, accepted waste, and emergency telephone numbers. Additionally, the Township has budgeted for new directional and recycling signage, which they plan to install in 2017.
Site access is only permitted during operational hours, within the presence of the Site attendant. The hours of operation are:
Summer (May 1 - September 30) Winter (October 1 – April 30) Wednesday, Saturday: 8 AM to 12 PM Wednesday, Saturday: 8 AM to 12 PM Sunday, Holiday Monday: 2 PM to 6 PM Sunday, Holiday Monday:12 PM to 4 PM
All Township waste disposal sites are closed on December 25th and January 1st.
In 2016, all waste disposal and transfer operations were conducted under the supervision and direction of the Site attendant, employed by the Township. The Site attendant was responsible for ensuring that the safe and orderly operation and maintenance of the Site complied with the requirements of the ECA and the Environmental Protection Act (EPA) and its Regulations as administered by the MOECC. The Site attendant’s responsibilities included, but were not limited to the following:
controlling admission of authorized vehicles with acceptable wastes;
ensuring proper daily litter control;
controlling collection and haulage of materials by a licensed hauler; and,
maintaining a daily record of all operations which are available for inspection by the MOECC.
5.2 TRAINING
In 2016, all Site attendants attended the Waste Diversion Ontario (WDO) conference. Additional training was provided through webinars provided by Association of Municipalities Ontario (AMO) and WDO.
Cambium Inc. Page 23 2016 Annual Report Irondale Waste Disposal Site The Corporation of the Township of Minden Hills Cambium Ref. No.: 4713-007 March 24, 2017
5.3 DRAINAGE
On-site drainage is controlled by the surface topography. Typically, surface drainage is observed to flow from the waste mound to the west, north, and east. The ponded surface water in these areas is sampled by surface water monitoring stations to monitor any potential impacts from the Site.
5.4 ROADS
The Site access road has sufficient width at the entrance and within the Site to allow unimpeded travel and access for Site users and emergency equipment. During the Site visits conducted by Cambium in 2016, the Site access road was in good condition. The Site access road was maintained as necessary to permit safe and efficient waste disposal and recycling operations.
5.5 AESTHETICS
As reported by the Township, litter clean-up is performed by the landfill attendant one (1) hour before the Site opens and one (1) hour after the Site closes. As reported by the Township, an annual spring and autumn cleanup was completed in 2016. During the 2016 monitoring events, Cambium staff observed notable amounts of litter around the perimeter of the Site. This was also noted in the MOECC Inspection report, dated August 5, 2015 (Appendix B). The annual cleanup should continue in 2017 and litter collection should be completed on a regular basis to ensure good housekeeping.
5.6 COMPLAINTS
In 2016, the Township received complaints regarding tipping fees and conditions of the road ways. According to the Township, the issues were addressed directly with the complainants.
5.7 MONITORING WELL SECURITY
As part of the 2016 groundwater monitoring program, each monitoring well was inspected for compliance with Ontario Regulation 903 (Wells) (O. Reg. 903). It was noted during the 2016 monitoring program that there were no monitoring wells requiring maintenance, with the exception of monitoring well OV3, which was noted as damaged to such a degree that a sample could not be collected in October. Repairs should be completed on this monitoring well in 2017. If this well cannot be repaired, it should be decommissioned and/or replaced.
As previously discussed, Cambium technicians could not locate monitoring well OV2 during any of the 2016 monitoring events and is presumed to be buried or destroyed; this well does not require replacement assuming monitor OV3 can be repaired and/or is replaced.

5.8.3 WASTE PLACEMENT, CELL DEVELOPMENT AND COVER MATERIAL
The Irondale waste disposal site accepts domestic waste and wood waste for on-site disposal from the permanent and seasonal population of the Township of Minden Hills and the southwest portion of the geographic Township of Glamorgan within the Municipality of Highlands East in accordance with the ECA. Based on observations by Cambium and information provided by the Township, to date, waste had only been deposited in the southern portion of the approved Site (Figure 3). In 2016, waste placement returned to the southwest corner of the existing limit of waste.
An area of fill beyond approved limits (FBAL) was identified in the northwest corner of the active waste area in 2015 (Cambium Inc., 2016). The volume of FBAL was estimated to be approximately 250 m3. According to the Township, the FBAL material was removed and the rea was regraded and revegetated. The Township confirmed on February 18, 2016 that the required grading, contouring, and application of adequate cover to the northwest slope were completed as required. Refer to Appendix F for photographs of the work completed.
On November 24, 2016 Cambium conducted a topographic survey of the active landfilling area of the Site. The generated contours are presented on Figure 3. Digital Terrain Modeling (DTM) was used to determine the volume generated over the year. DTM is a computerized process that uses the prismoidal volumetric difference of two (2) digital terrain models (topographical surfaces). This survey was compared to the previous surface completed in November 2015. The volume of material placed in the period between November 2015 and November 2016 was approximately 1,240 cubic metres. Embedded Figure 1 shows a summary of the annual waste and cover deposition at the Site.

Embedded Figure 1 Annual Landfill Volume It should be noted that topographic surveys of waste disposal sites can be subject to a large margin of error due to the rough terrain and thin layers of waste involved. During the 2016 survey, there was an approximate error of 360 (+/-) cubic metres, which equates to a survey error of approximately 29%, based on an assumed error of only 50 mm over the active portion of this site. Deposition rates measured over longer periods of time tend to be more accurate than onetime measurements.
5.8.4 COVER MATERIAL
Cover material is stockpiled at the Site. Condition 19 (c) of the ECA requires that wastes be covered by the 15th day and the last day of each month during the summer months (between April 1st and November 1st) and by the last day of each month during the remainder of the year. Observations from the April 2016 Site visit indicated that the wastes had been recently covered and graded. All other Site visits indicated that the stockpile was present on-Site. As reported by the Township, approximately 80 tonnes of fill was trucked in for use as cover material in 2016.
5.9 REMAINING SITE CAPACITY
Digital Terrain Modelling (DTM) was used to determine the volume increase generated in 2016. The survey completed on November 24, 2016 was compared to the previous survey completed on November 10, 2015. To determine the remaining capacity of the Site, the existing volume was subtracted from the maximum approved
Cambium Inc. Page 27 2016 Annual Report Irondale Waste Disposal Site The Corporation of the Township of Minden Hills Cambium Ref. No.: 4713-007 March 24, 2017 capacity including daily and intermediate cover and excluding final cover. Embedded Table 7 provides a summary of the current capacity of the Site.
Embedded Table 7 Capacity Calculations Item 2016 Value Site Area 17.2 ha Approved Waste Placement Area 8.0 ha Existing Area of Refuse Placement 0.72 ha Total Site Capacity 33,425 m³ Volume Added, 2016 1,240 m³ Existing Waste and Cover Placement, Total 16,740 m³ Remaining Capacity 27,180 m³ Average Annual Volume, five (5) year 560 m³ Notes: 1. Changes in Site usage, compaction and cover practices, and recyclable diversion rates will affect future annual fill volumes and consequently Site life. Annual topographic surveys should be completed to track changes in Site usage.
The ECA dated January 9, 2008 (Appendix A) prescribes a maximum additional volume for disposal of 33,425 m3 from September 2006 (Condition 38). In addition, the ECA also requires the Township to complete either a Design and Operations Plan or a Closure Plan (Condition 39), and determine the total amount of waste landfilled at the Site (Condition 40).
Although the Site has an approved waste disposal area of 8.0 hectares within a total Site area of 17.2 hectares, the landfilling of waste beyond the current existing waste disposal area of 0.72 hectares is very limited by the surrounding natural features which included bedrock outcrops, wetlands, streams, and ponds. The ECA requires a Design and Operations Plan detailing how the approved contours will be met, or a Closure Plan (Condition 39), and determination of the total amount of waste landfilled at the Site (Condition 40). Given this scenario, the remaining capacity is considerably less than 27,180 m3 and should be confirmed.
The Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change required this to be completed in 2013.
5.10 COMPLIANCE WITH ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE APPROVAL
The Township is generally operating the Site in compliance with the ECA, with the exception of meeting Condition 39 of the ECA as noted above.

6.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The following conclusions were drawn from the results of the 2016 monitoring program completed at the Irondale waste disposal site.
The shallow groundwater configuration beneath the Site indicated that the predominant groundwater flow direction is to the northwest within the shallow groundwater discharging to the down-gradient surface water systems.
Minor groundwater quality impacts were reported at the western and eastern property boundary, as evidenced by concentrations of leachate indicator parameters at monitoring wells 98-5, 98-6, 98-7, and 98-8 at levels slightly greater than the background concentrations. Due to natural attenuation, the elevated concentrations observed at these monitors are less than those observed at the monitors directly down- gradient of the waste mound (i.e. OV3, 98-11, and 98-12).
There were some RUC exceedances observed along the east and west property boundaries; however, these were observed to be sporadic (TDS) or naturally elevated concentrations (manganese). In addition, as the down-gradient groundwater use to the north is related to surface water use; the intent of the Reasonable Use Concept is considered to be met at all down-gradient property boundaries.
In general the surface water quality reported at the three (3) downstream surface water sampling locations were similar to the background water quality reported in 2016. Where Tier I of the trigger mechanism was observed to be activated in 2016, no impacts were observed to be related to the Site and Tier II monitoring was not initiated.
Based on the results of the 2015 annual survey and the delineation of the approved area of waste, it was noted that the a small amount of material (waste and cover) had been placed outside of the approved limit, commonly referred to as Fill Beyond Approved Limits (FBAL). The volume of FBAL was estimated to be approximately 250 m³. The Township confirmed that the required grading, contouring, and application of adequate cover to the northwest slope were completed as required.
In 2016, the site diverted 38.97 tonnes of blue box recyclables materials.
The volume of material placed in the landfill during the period between November 2015 and November 2016 was approximately 1,240 m³. The remaining volume is approximately 27,180 m³; however, due to the natural topography and surrounding environment remaining site capacity is considerably less than the reported volume.
Based on the results of the 2016 monitoring program, Cambium recommends the following:
Cambium Inc. Page 29 2016 Annual Report Irondale Waste Disposal Site The Corporation of the Township of Minden Hills Cambium Ref. No.: 4713-007 March 24, 2017
Given the continued lack of impact at downstream surface water locations, as well as the dry conditions observed intermittently during the summer sampling event, it is recommended that surface water sampling frequency be reduced to twice annually (spring, autumn). In addition, the parameter list should be reduced to those listed in Column 4 of Schedule 5 of the Landfill Standards (Ministry of the Environment, January 2012), as well as the following designated LIPs for the Site: boron, hardness, magnesium, manganese, potassium, and sodium. Lastly, as stations SW1, SW2, and SW3 adequately monitor potential impacts from the Site, station SW4 should be removed from the monitoring program. Until approval is received from the MOECC, the groundwater sampling should occur semi-annually in the spring and autumn for the same parameter suite used in 2016 (Table 1).
Sampling and analysis for volatile organic compounds should be completed at monitoring wells OV3, 98-6, and 98-11 every five (5) years, with the next event occurring in 2017.
Note that OV2 was not able to be found in 2016 and well OV3 was observed to be damaged in October and could not be sampled. Although it is not recommended that monitor OV2 be replaced, efforts should be taken in 2017 to repair OV3; if the well cannot be repaired, it should be decommissioned and/or replaced.
It is recommended that the blown litter around the Site be removed and that the Site attendant conducts regular inspections for litter around the Site. Additionally, adequate daily cover must be applied in the active landfilling area, to ensure that the waste is covered, and to limit the amount of wind-blown litter at the Site.
Although the Site has an approved waste disposal area of 8.0 hectares within a total Site area of 17.2 hectares, the landfilling of waste beyond the current existing waste disposal area of 0.56 hectares is very limited by the surrounding natural features which included bedrock outcrops, wetlands, streams, and ponds. The amended ECA requires a Design and Operations Plan detailing how the approved contours will be met, or a Closure Plan (Condition 39) and determination of the total amount of waste landfilled at the Site (Condition 40). The Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change required this to be completed in 2013.
