1 INTRODUCTION The Kingfisher Diversion and Disposal Facility (KDDF) is located within Electoral Area F in the Regional District of North Okanagan (RDNO) at 150 Beattie Road, approximately 35 km north of the City of Enderby.

The legal description of the property on which the KDDF is located is the south-west quarter, Section 23, Township 19, R.6, W.6, Kamloops Division of Yale Land District. The site, owned by the RDNO, is 0.65 hectares and serves the community of Kingfisher and surrounding Electoral Area (F). The location plan is presented as part of the 2019 Environmental Monitoring Report, Attachment A.

The facility was operated by Dan’s Bobcat Services under a contract with the RDNO during 2019.

The works authorized are a modified sanitary landfill and related appurtenances.

2 BACKGROUND

Since 2003 the KDDF has operated as a transfer station. The KDDF was open Sundays from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. throughout the year and on Wednesdays and Sundays from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. between April 1 and October 31.

The KDDF includes a lockable entrance gate and gate house. The facility is surrounded by a chain link fence. Customers entering the facility are required to check in with the Facility Attendant and pay the specified disposal fee based on the type and volume of material disposed.

The Regional District of North Okanagan Municipal Solid Waste Management Bylaw No. 2832, 2019 establishes fees and sets standards for the use of diversion and disposal facilities owned and operated by the regional district. The Bylaw was originally adopted in April 2010 and took effect July 5, 2010. The bylaw has been amended on a number of occasions since 2010. A copy of the version of the Bylaw that took effect in 2019 is provided as Attachment B.

Prior to 2012, the RDNO solid waste management program operated on a 100 percent user pay system, with no financial contribution from taxation. However, in 2012 the RDNO implemented a region wide tax levy in the amount of $420,000 to provide additional funding for solid waste management.

3 FACILITY OPERATIONS: 2019 This section describes on-site activities during 2019 including disposal methods and recycling initiatives.

3.1 DISPOSAL METHOD AND QUANTITIES Landfilling of Municipal Solid Waste at the KDDF ceased in April 2003. In December 2002 construction of a one bay lock block transfer station took place in an area away from the former filling area. The transfer station opened for use in April 2003. A 40 cubic yard lidded container is filled by facility customers and once full, the bin is hauled to the Armstrong/Spallumcheen Diversion and Disposal Facility (ASDDF) or the Greater Vernon Diversion and Disposal Facility (GVDDF) for disposal. A second lock block bay was constructed in 2008 to improve operational efficiency.

The quantity of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) transported from the KDDF to the ASDDF and GVDDF during 2019 was 150 tonnes. This was a slight decrease from 2018.

Based on an estimated average annual service population in the Kingfisher area of approximately 300, the per capita disposal rate was approximately 0.50 tonnes per capita per year in 2019. Waste generation in the Kingfisher area is significantly higher in the summer months when there are significant numbers of tourists in the area. It is difficult to accurately determine the service population of the facility.

When compared to the 1991 per capita filling rate of 0.61 tonnes per capita per year it appears waste reduction programs continue to need some work in the Kingfisher area to achieve the RDNO’s 50% reduction target.

The landfill at the KDDF was closed in April 2003 and capped in the summer of 2003 in accordance with a design by Bel MK Engineering (qualified professionals). The area has been seeded and graded to drain to the perimeter of the site. The cap continues to function well.

3.2 RECYCLING The following commodities are segregated at the KDDF and shipped off-site for recycling or used on-site:

• Tires: Recycled under the Provincial Tire Recycling Program. • Yard and Garden and Wood Waste: Stockpiled material was transferred to the

Armstrong/Spallumcheen Diversion and Disposal Facility in the summer of 2019 to mitigate the fire risk.

• Propane Tanks: Removed by a contractor to be refurbished or recycled. • White Goods and Other Metals: Refrigeration units were decommissioned and refrigerant

removed by a qualified contractor under contract. Metal sold to a recycling contractor. • Old corrugated cardboard (OCC) was collected in a 40 cubic yard lidded container and

transported to a processing facility. • Electronic Waste: Collected and transported to an Encorp E-waste collection depot as

required. • Waste Gypsum Drywall: This material is collected in a low rise bin at the transfer station

and when full is hauled to the Greater Vernon DDF.


5

3.3 OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE EXPENDITURES Total operation and maintenance expenditures at the KDDF during 2019 were $62,523.29.

4 OPERATIONAL MONITORING/INSPECTIONS RDNO staff monitored all aspects of KDDF operations and met with the facility operator on a number of occasions during 2019 to ensure that operations were carried out in compliance with all Ministry of Environment and Regional District of North Okanagan requirements. Any operational issues were noted and addressed as necessary.

5 ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING

5.1 2019 ANNUAL ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING REPORT The Kingfisher Diversion and Disposal Facility, 2019 Environmental Monitoring Report, February 2020, prepared by Regional District of North Okanagan Staff, is provided as Attachment A. The monitoring program is described and monitoring results are provided including the status of sampling points and recommendations for monitoring program improvements, where necessary.

5.2 GROUND AND SURFACE WATER MONITORING RECOMMENDATIONS

a) Continue with the currently established sampling program, and assess trends of exceedances.

b) Evaluate potential trends in Cadmium, Chloride, Copper, Dissolved Oxygen, Sulphate, and Zinc in 2020.

c) Conduct the annual post-closure inspection and continue to monitor the standing water on the west edge of the site.

5.3 LANDFILL GAS No odour complaints were received in 2019. The passive gas vent that is incorporated into the cap at the peak is inspected annually.


6

5.4 EROSION

No erosion was detected on-site in 2019.

5.5 LITTER, DUST AND VECTOR CONTROL Dust was not a significant issue at the KDDF in 2019, nor were bears or other vectors.

Litter was picked by the KDDF contractor when necessary especially after wind events. The operator is required to collect litter on a regular basis.

Bears have not been observed at the facility since 2002 and installation of the fence and transfer station. No bears were noticed at the facility during the 2019 bear season. The refuse and recycling containers, when not in use, are closed (lidded containers) and the site is enclosed with a chain link fence.

6 FINANCIAL Approximately $709 was spent on post closure environmental monitoring at the Kingfisher Diversion and Disposal Facility in 2019.

A Statutory Closure Reserve was established in 2010 for closure and post closure costs at all RDNO Diversion and Disposal Facilities. The balance in the Statutory Closure Reserve at the end of 2019 was approximately $10,413,000. The annual contribution to the Statutory Closure Reserve for 2019 will be $18/tonne of material disposed at all RDNO Diversion and Disposal Facilities in 2019. It is estimated that this amount will be approximately $827,000 which will bring the reserve balance to approximately $11,124,000.

It is estimated that the annual contribution to the Statutory Closure Reserve for 2020 will be close to $870,000 based on current and projected disposed tonnages.


7

7 DESIGN, OPERATIONS AND CLOSURE PLAN

The KDDF Operating and Closure Plan is still in draft as it has not been formally approved after it was submitted to the Ministry of Environment in 2000. The landfill was closed as per the approved closure design. The Plan will be reviewed and updated if necessary, to better reflect the post-closure activities on-site for the next 20 years.

1 INTRODUCTION

The Regional District of North Okanagan (RDNO) has conducted the Environmental Monitoring Program (the “Program”) at the Kingfisher Diversion and Disposal Facility (KDDF) since 2012. This report summarizes the results of the 2019 Program. Summit Environmental Consultants Inc. (Summit) previously reported on the Program from 2008 to 2012 (Summit 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013). From 2012 to 2017, water quality samples were analyzed by AGAT Laboratories (AGAT). From 2018 to 2019, water quality samples were analyzed by ALS Laboratories (ALS).

1.1 SITE LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION The KDDF is located 1.5 km north of the community of Kingfisher along Beattie Road, about 2 km west of Mabel Lake, 150 meters (m) east of Kingfisher Creek, and 1 km north of the Shuswap River (Figure 1-1). The site ranges in elevation from approximately 456 meters above sea level (masl) to 462 masl. The KDDF is approximately 0.7 hectares, and the latitude and longitude at the centre of the site are 50º37’13.27 N and 118º44’08.75” W. The legal description of the site is SW 1/4, Section 23, Township 19, R.6, W.6, Kamloops Division of Yale Land District.

Figure 1-1 shows all sample sites for the KDDF. Five drinking water wells located within 1 km down-gradient or cross-gradient of the KDDF are shown on the BC Water Resources Atlas (ENV 2019). The cross-gradient well, Well Tag # 35497, appears to be screened in a deeper aquifer.

1.2 BACKGROUND The KDDF began operating in 1974, and until 1996 it ran as an open landfill (very little to no controls such as fencing, compaction and daily cover). In 1994, solid waste from the Ashton Creek area was transported to the KDDF upon closure of the Ashton Creek Landfill. In 2003, the RDNO capped and closed the landfill and the site is now used as a transfer station under Operational Certificate (OC) PR 15281, issued January 21, 1998 (MoE 1998a). The KDDF is fenced, has a lockable gate, and is open one or two days per week depending on the time of year.

Currently, environmental monitoring is conducted at the site once annually, and consists of sampling and analysis from three domestic wells and a post closure inspection.

1.3 OBJECTIVES AND SCOPE The objective of conducting the Program for the KDDF is to provide consistent and accurate long-term monitoring of potential environmental impacts from prior landfill operations at the site. These monitoring and reporting activities were planned in accordance with OC PR 15281 (MoE 1998a). In meeting these objectives, the RDNO’s scope of work included the following activities:

• Water sampling performed by RDNO’s Engineering Technician, as scheduled for the year • Tabulating the 2019 water quality data (prepared with the assistance of Wireless WaterTM

data management services) • Summarizing water quality guideline exceedances from the 2019 results • Analyzing temporal and spatial data trends • Preparing an annual Environmental Monitoring Report.

1.4 CLIMATE Climate data is available for Salmon Arm, Shuswap Regional Airport (Climate STN ID 1166R45) and this data is used as an approximation to the site as the station is located in the same geographic area (approximately 37 km to the northwest) with an elevation of 527.30 m. The average annual temperature and total precipitation is 7.4ºC and 653 mm/year respectively (Environment Canada 2019). Mean monthly temperatures range from -3.7ºC in December to 19.1ºC in July. The mean monthly total precipitation rates range from 33.9 mm in February to 82.4 mm in November. Values are based off data from 1981 to 2010 and are shown in Table 1-1.

1.5 GEOLOGIC AND HYDROGEOLOGIC SETTING The bedrock geology underlying the site is metamorphic rock of the Shuswap Assemblage formed between the Proterozoic and Paleozoic eras. The rock is comprised of undivided quartzofeldspathic gneiss, biotite-quartz schist (commonly with sillimanite, kyanite, garnet or staurolite), amphibolite, quartzite, marble, calc-silicate rock and skarn with abundant and locally dominant pegmatite, muscovite granite, and granite (ENV 2019). The log for Well Tag No. 62533, located 206 m east of the KDDF, indicates that bedrock is present at 15 m below ground surface.

Surficial geology at the site is comprised of glaciofluvial sediments. Soils exposed at the landfill during operation were comprised of well-graded sand to sand and gravel (Piteau 1999).

Based on topography, water table elevations from well logs (Table 2-1), and the elevation of Kingfisher Creek, groundwater is likely to flow southwest towards Kingfisher Creek. Groundwater flow through fractured bedrock is unpredictable and there is not enough information to make inferences of groundwater flow direction in bedrock at this time.

1.6 REGULATORY FRAMEWORK As per the requirements of the OC PR 15281 (MoE 1998a):

“landfills must be operated in a manner such that ground or surface water quality does not decrease beyond that allowed by the Approved and Working Criteria for Water Quality dated 1996 (updated August 2006) prepared by the Water Quality Branch of the Ministry of Environment, Lands and Parks at or beyond the landfill property boundary…if excursions result to the specified water quality criteria, the Regional Waste Manager may require that leachate management control measures or works be undertaken.”

The water quality data has been compared to the following BC drinking water and aquatic life guidelines, due to the proximity of both domestic wells and surface waters to the KDDF:

• British Columbia Approved Water Quality Guidelines for freshwater aquatic life short-term acute (BCAWQG AL (ST))

• British Columbia Approved Water Quality Guidelines for freshwater aquatic life long-term chronic (BCAWQG AL (LT))

• British Columbia Working Water Quality Guidelines for freshwater aquatic life (BCWWQG AL)

• British Columbia Source Drinking Water Quality Guidelines Maximum Acceptable Concentrations (BC SDWQG MAC)

• British Columbia Source Drinking Water Quality Guidelines Aesthetic Objectives (BC SDWQG AO)

The BC Approved Water Quality Guideline for freshwater aquatic life (BCAWQG AL) was revised to include both a short-term acute guideline (BCAWQG AL (ST)) and a long-term chronic guideline (BCAWQG AL (LT)). These revised guidelines have been applied to the data contained in this report.

2 FIELD INVESTIGATION METHODS

2.1 MONITORING NETWORK The 2019 Program consisted of sampling three domestic groundwater wells (DMW-1, DMW-2, and DMW-4). Figure 1-1 shows the well locations. Groundwater samples were collected by RDNO’s Engineering Technician and Environmental Technician Assistant.

Since 2003, three domestic groundwater wells have been sampled annually. From 2003 until 2009, the domestic groundwater wells included DMW-1, DMW-2, and DMW-3. In 2010, DMW-3 was replaced by DMW-4 as it is closer to the landfill and represents the closest down-gradient receptor. From 2003 until 2015, surface water locations were also sampled annually. SW-1 and SW-2 were sampled from 2003 until 2010 when they were replaced by SW-3 and SW-4, which are also closer to the landfill. SW-3 and SW-4 were discontinued from the program in 2015 as it was determined that there were too many other factors that could be affecting the creek water quality and the data was not useful for the purposes of this Program.

A list of wells that are currently being used for the Program and sampling locations that have been removed from the Program over time is provided in Appendix A. Sampling locations that are not to be sampled have a strikethrough.

Table 2-1 summarizes the details of the domestic groundwater wells currently involved in the monitoring program, including the well depth, the location relative to the KDDF, and the geological formation in which the wells are screened.

2.2 MONITORING DATES In 2019, samples were collected on June 12. Documented sampling has occurred once a year at the KDDF since 2003. Sampling has typically occurred in the spring, when water levels are generally high. When water levels are at their maximum, there is less unsaturated zone and, therefore, less time for natural attenuation.

2.3 SAMPLING METHODS On June 12, 2019 sampling was completed by Jamie Jaffary, RDNO Engineering Technician and Emily Knudson-Goerner, RDNO Environmental Technician Assistant. The same sampling protocols have been completed by the RDNO technicians since 2012. The sampling protocols followed provincial standards (MoE 2013) and meet the intent of the OC.

RDNO sampling techniques utilize running outside tap water from a domestic well due to the well heads not being accessible.

The 2019 sampling procedure used to sample groundwater from domestic wells involved running an outside tap until consistent (stabilized) water chemistry (monitored and recorded field parameters; Electrical Conductivity (EC), Dissolved Oxygen, pH, and Temperature) was obtained.

Domestic well samples were collected once the equilibrium of the field parameters stabilized. Samples were collected in laboratory-supplied sampling bottles, and preserved as required. Samples were stored in ice-filled coolers to maintain the temperature below an average of 10°C, and submitted to ALS Laboratories in Burnaby, B.C for analysis within the required holding times. Samples collected for dissolved metals analysis were field-filtered using single-use Henke Sass Wolf Syringes and 0.45 micrometre (µm) Sartorius filters at the time of sampling.

Quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) field measures used during sampling included using site-specific field forms, wearing nitrile gloves, and using either sampling supplies that are dedicated to the well, or cleaning the equipment with Liquinox and rinsing with de-ionized water thereafter, between wells. Properly completed chain-of-custody forms accompanied each sample sent to the lab. In addition to field QA/QC, an internal laboratory QA/QC program was followed which included analysis of reference samples, blanks, matrix spikes and laboratory duplicates. ALS Laboratories performed analysis for the groundwater samples submitted for testing and they have achieved certification by the Canadian Association for Laboratory Accreditation Inc. (CALA) for the analyses conducted.


7

2.4 SAMPLING PARAMETERS The 2019 analytical program included the following parameters:

• Field parameters (pH, EC, Dissolved Oxygen, Temperature) • Routine parameters (pH, EC, Hardness, Turbidity) • Dissolved anions (Alkalinity, Chloride, Sulphate) • True Colour • Nutrients (Ammonia, Nitrate, Nitrite, Total Phosphorus) • Dissolved metals • Chemical Oxygen Demand.

This is the same suite of parameters analyzed during previous monitoring programs.

The BCAWQG AL (ST) and (LT) for Copper was also revised and requires specialized software to calculate the chemistry-specific guideline. As the revision occurred after sampling in 2019, the data contained in this report has been compared to the previous version of the guideline. Copper concentrations are also compared to the BC SDWQG AO in this report.

2.5 FIELD OBSERVATIONS During field visits, vegetation around the KDDF is observed for signs of stress and/or mortality. Examples of such signs include discolouration and plant mortality. The area is also observed for signs of liquid flowing from or along the surface which could indicate leachate breakout. A post closure inspection was completed of the KDDF site on June 12, 2019. This inspection involved a grid walk of the closed site, in order to observe any signs of erosion or other landfill closure issues. These field observations are available in the 2019 Post Closure Inspection Report in Appendix D.

3 MONITORING RESULTS

3.1 POST CLOSURE INSPECTION The landfill site has a variety of vegetation, including trees, tall grass, weeds, and thistle. The site is growing many young pine trees. There was very little standing water in the ditch along the west edge of the site compared to 2018. No indications of erosion or a compromised cover system were observed on the landfill footprint during 2019 site visits. Field observations and pictures from the post closure inspection are available in the Post Closure Inspection Report in Appendix D.

3.2 VEGETATION

No indications of stressed vegetation or erosion on the landfill footprint were observed during the 2019 site visit.

3.3 MONITORING WELL STATUS All of the monitoring stations were accessible in 2019 and are considered adequate to meet the objectives of the program.

3.4 QUALITY ASSURANCE/QUALITY CONTROL To assess the quality of the sampling and analytical results, field duplicates were analyzed for the Program at a rate of approximately 10% of the total number of samples collected. A duplicate sample is where a field sample of water is collected and split into two equal samples. One of these samples is the duplicate sample and is submitted to the analytical laboratory under a separate label, so the laboratory has no knowledge of the site the sample came from. The collection and analysis of the duplicate samples provides information on the combined (field and analytical) precision of the sampling and analytical program. The individual analytical results of each of the samples of the duplicate pair were compared and the relative percent difference (RPD) was calculated for each analyte pair. RPDs were calculated using the following formula,

Where a and b are duplicate pair values in identical units.


9

An RPD of 25% or less is generally considered acceptable while an RPD of greater than the 25% limit may indicate a problem in either sampling or analysis (MoE 1998b). This limit may vary somewhat depending on the analysis involved and the concentration of the analyte. The RPD also tends to increase as the result approaches the detection limit. Therefore, use of this threshold is restricted to values that are over five times their detection limit.

Caro Analytical Laboratories completed analysis on samples from 2008 to 2011. AGAT Laboratories completed analysis on samples from 2012 to 2017. ALS Laboratories completed analysis on samples from 2018 to 2019.

A duplicate sample collected from the KDDF was used to assess the quality of the sampling and analytical results. For the KDDF, a total of one sample was submitted for duplicate analysis from DMW-1 on June 12, 2019. This sample had two parameters with a calculated RPD greater than the 25% threshold, Copper (27.6%) and Lead (57.0%). Although Copper exceeds guidelines in this well, the normal and duplicate samples for both Copper and Lead are within an order of magnitude of each other, and therefore, the RPD’s are not a concern. Sample heterogeneity is considered a possible cause of high RPD.

3.5 EXCEEDANCE SUMMARY The water quality results from 2017 to 2019 were compared with the guidelines and are presented in Appendix B. All historical data is available if needed. The original laboratory reports are included in Appendix C.

Table 3-1 summarizes exceedances of the water quality guidelines in 2019. An explanation of each 2019 analyte exceedance is noted after Table 3-1. For guideline values, result values and trend plots please see Section 3.6 Trend Analysis.

Copper concentrations in DMW-4 have consistently exceeded this guideline in previous years. Copper concentration in DMW-1 exceeded the BCAWQG AL for the first time in 2019. The exceeded guideline is designed for surface water bodies and not groundwater intended for domestic supply uses and does not present a hazard for the domestic water users.

Zinc (Dissolved). The concentration of Zinc in DMW-4 and in DMW-2 exceeded the BCAWQG AL (ST) and (LT) in 2019. Zinc concentrations in DMW-4 have exceeded this guideline in the past. The exceeded guideline is designed for surface water bodies, not groundwater intended for domestic supply use and does not present a hazard for the domestic water user. Zinc concentrations in these wells are over 80 times lower than drinking water guidelines.

3.6 TREND ANALYSIS The potential for landfill leachate to affect groundwater is typically assessed by comparing the concentrations of landfill leachate indicators relative to background groundwater concentrations. Typical leachate indicators may include but are not limited to: Ammonia, Chloride, Alkalinity, Sulphate, Manganese, Iron, Calcium, Magnesium and heavy metals including Cadmium, Chromium, Copper, Nickel and Zinc (Christensen et al. 2001).

Graphs of selected leachate-associated parameters showing change in concentration over time were plotted to illustrate temporal and spatial trends (Figures 3-1 to 3-5). On these plots, results that were below detection are circled and plotted as half the detection limit. The order of the plots is not significant.

The BCAWQG AL (ST) or (LT) for Cadmium cannot be depicted on the figure as they are individually calculated for each well based on the water hardness (CaCO3). None of the sample sites exceeded these guidelines, or any of the applicable guidelines for Cadmium, in 2019.

In 2019, concentrations of Cadmium remained below detection limit in DMW-2. Concentrations in DMW-1 and DMW-4 decreased slightly in 2019, and remain at very low concentration. Concentrations in DMW-2 remain consistent since 2015. A decreasing trend is noted in all wells since the elevated 2012 concentrations. The concentration of Cadmium in all three wells significantly decreased from 2012 to 2013, and again from 2014 to 2015. One more year of monitoring is required to establish if this trend continues.

Figure 3-2


No well has exceeded Chloride guidelines. Chloride concentrations in DMW-4 continue to cycle around 2.0 mg/L. Concentrations in DMW-1 increased slightly in 2019, but remain lower than previous years. DMW-2 has remained at low concentrations historically, aside from two years of elevated concentrations in 2010 and 2015. Further monitoring is required to determine if these increases and decreases in concentrations are trends. Concentrations are two orders of magnitude less than the guidelines.

The BCAWQG AL for Copper cannot be depicted on the figure as it is individually calculated for each well based on water hardness (CaCO3). DMW-4 and DMW-1 exceeded this guideline in 2019. The following table shows the measured Copper concentration for DMW-4 and DMW-1, and the corresponding guideline concentration that has been calculated for that well.

An increasing trend in DMW-1 since 2008 has been noted. DMW-1 is a background well, therefore, it is possible that Copper may be a naturally occurring metal in the groundwater in this area. Copper concentrations in DMW-2 had a small spike in 2017, but returned to below detection limit in 2018. In 2019, Copper concentrations increased slightly in this well. Copper concentrations in DMW-4 were increasing in the last three years, but decreased in 2019. Continued monitoring is required to establish if these increases and decreases are a trend, in particular the increase in DMW-2 and the elevated presence of Copper in DMW-4.

The BCAWQG AL (ST) or (LT) for Sulphate cannot be depicted on the figure as they are individually calculated for each well based on water hardness (CaCO3). None of the sample sites have ever exceeded these guidelines, or any of the applicable guidelines for Sulphate.

Sulphate concentrations have shown a decreasing trend in DMW-4 since sampling began in 2010. DMW-1 and DMW-2 have remained relatively stable in concentration for the last several years. Sulphate is not a concern at this time but will continue to be monitored in the future.

The BCAWQG AL (ST) or (LT) for Zinc cannot be depicted on the figure as they are individually calculated for each well based on water hardness (CaCO3).

DMW-2 0.0614 0.033 0.0075

DMW-4 0.0394 0.033 0.0075

DMW-1 shows a slight increasing trend since 2011. In 2019, the Zinc concentration decreased significantly in DMW-4, following the sharp increase noted in 2017/18. DMW-2 showed a significant increase in 2019, but not as large as the increase in 2017. Several more years of data are needed to determine if these changes in concentration are trends.

4 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

4.1 CONCLUSIONS The following conclusions have been drawn from the results of the 2019 Environmental Monitoring Program at the KDDF:

1. Copper concentrations exceeded the BCAWQG AL in DMW-1 and in DMW-4 in 2019.

Additionally, Zinc concentrations exceeded the BCAWQG AL (ST) and (LT) in DMW-2 and DMW-4 in 2019.

2. Overall, the concentrations of leachate impact indicators are generally low in all monitoring locations. Variations in concentrations of the measured parameters are likely naturally occurring, or a result of local anthropogenic activities. Continued monitoring is required to further assess the concentration variances noted in Copper and Zinc in 2019.

4.2 RECOMMENDATIONS 1. Continue with the currently established sampling program, and assess trends of

exceedances.

2. Evaluate potential trends in Cadmium, Chloride, Copper, Dissolved Oxygen, Sulphate, and Zinc in 2020.

3. Conduct the annual post closure inspection and continue to monitor the standing water on the west edge of the site.

Guideline Notes for Reports for RDNO Recycling and Disposal Facilities Water Quality Results

1. Notes for BC Approved Water Quality Guidelines for freshwater aquatic life (Short-term acute) (BCAWQG AL (ST))General Notes:The Water Quality Guidelines (Criteria) Reports by BC Ministry of Environment were used as references for the guidelines. (Internet address: http://www.env.gov.bc.ca/wat/wq/wq_guidelines.html ). Overview Reports (BC MOE) were used as the references for the guidelines unless the note for specific analyte indicates that the Technical Appendix (BC MOE) was used. / For some parameters, there are two water quality guidelines: the short-term acute guideline (i.e. maximum), and the long-term chronic guideline (i.e. average). The short-term acute guideline was used in this criteria set for parameters that have both guideline values.Note 1.1 for Dissolved oxygen:The instantaneous minimum guideline for dissolved oxygen is 5 mg/L for all life stages other than buried embryo/alevin. The instantaneous minimum guideline for dissolved oxygen in the water column is 9 mg/L for buried embryo/alevin. The instantaneous minimum guideline for dissolved oxygen in interstitial water is 6 mg/L for buried embryo/alevin.The 30-day mean guideline (minimum) for dissolved oxygen is 8 mg/L for all life stages other than buried embryo/alevin. The 30-day mean guideline (minimum) for dissolved oxygen in the water column is 11 mg/L for buried embryo/alevin. The 30-day mean guideline (minimum) for dissolved oxygen in interstitial water is 8 mg/L for buried embryo/alevin.Note 1.2 for pH:pH less than 6.5: No statistically significant decrease in pH from background.pH from 6.5 to 9.0: Unrestricted change permitted within this range.pH over 9.0: No statistically significant increase in pH from background.See BC MOE Overview Report for additional details.Note 1.3 for Temperature:The maximum daily temperature of 19 degrees Celsius is for streams with unknown fish distribution. See BC MOE Overview Report for additional details for streams with unknown fish distribution, and specific guidelines for streams with known fish distribution, and guideline for lakes and impoundments.Note 1.4 for Chloride:To protect freshwater aquatic life from acute and lethal effects, the maximum concentration of chloride (mg/L as NaCl) at any time should not exceed 600 mg/L.To protect freshwater aquatic life from chronic effects, the average (arithmetic mean computed from five weekly samples collected over a 30-day period) concentration of chloride (mg/L as NaCl) should not exceed 150 mg/L.Note 1.5 for Colour:30-day average true colour of filtered water samples shall not exceed background levels by more than 5 colour units in clearwater systems or 20% in coloured systems. See BC MOE Overview Report for additional details.Note 1.6 for pH:pH less than 6.5: No statistically significant decrease in pH from background.pH from 6.5 to 9.0: Unrestricted change permitted within this range.pH over 9.0: No statistically significant increase in pH from background.See BC MOE Overview Report for additional details.Note 1.7 for Sulphate:



The approved 30-day average (minimum of 5 evenly-spaced samples collected in 30 days) water quality guidelines to protect aquatic life in BC for sulphate are: 128 mg/L at hardness of 0 to 30 mg/L as CaCO3 218 mg/L at hardness of 31 to 75 mg/L as CaCO3 309 mg/L at hardness of 76 to 180mg/L as CaCO3 429 mg/L at hardness 181 to 250 mg/L as CaCO3Need to determine guideline based on site water for hardness greater than 250 mg/L as CaCO3.For screening purposes in this report, exceedance were flagged for sulphate greater than 429 mg/L at hardness greater than 250 mg/L as CaCO3.Note 1.8 for Turbidity:When background is less than or equal to 8 NTU:- Maximum Induced Turbidity of 8 NTU in 24 hours.- For sediment inputs that last between 24 hours and 30 days (daily sampling preferred) the mean turbidity should not exceed background by more than 2 NTU.Maximum Induced Turbidity of 5 NTU when background is between 8 and 50 NTU.Maximum Induced Turbidity of 10% when background is greater than 50 NTU. / There are no Recycling and Disposal Facilities where up-gradient and down-gradient samples have been collected in one water body; therefore this guideline does not apply to any of RDNO's Recycling and Disposal Facility sites.Note 1.9 for Aluminum (dissolved):The maximum concentration of dissolved aluminum at any time should not exceed:1. 0.10 mg/L when the pH is greater than or equal to 6.52. The value (in mg/L) determined by the following relationship if pH less than 6.5 Dissolved Aluminum = e (1.209-2.426 (pH) + 0.286 (pH)²)The 30-day average concentration of dissolved aluminum (based on a minimum of 5 approximately weekly samples) should not exceed:1. 0.05 mg/L when the median pH over 30 days is greater than or equal to 6.52. the value determined by the following relationship at median pH less than 6.5 Dissolved Aluminum = e (1.6-3.327 (median pH) + 0.402 (median pH)²)Note 1.10 for Arsenic (dissolved):The recommended guideline is for total arsenic.Note 1.11 for Boron (dissolved):The recommended guideline is for total boron.Note 1.12 for Cadmium (dissolved):The guideline for cadmium is determined on a site-specific basis according to the local water hardness. The guideline for cadmium (dissolved) in μg/L is determined by the following equations for short term exposure:1. If hardness (as CaCO3) is less than 7 mg/L then maximum is 0.0380 μg/L2. If hardness (as CaCO3) is from 7 to 45 mg/L then maximum is based on equation:e to the power of {1.03[ln(hardness)] - 5.274} 3. If hardness (as CaCO3) is greater than 455 mg/L then maximum is 2.8 μg/L. When water hardness is greater than the upper bound (i.e., highest water hardness tested), a site-specific assessment may be required.Note 1.13 for Cobalt (dissolved):The interim maximum concentration for total cobalt is 110 µg/L to protect aquatic life in the freshwater environment from acute effects of cobalt.The interim 30-day average concentration for total cobalt (based on five weekly samples) is 4 µg/L to protect aquatic life from chronic effects of cobalt.Note 1.14 for Copper (dissolved):



The guideline is for dissolved copper and is dependent on the specific chemistry of the water body and can only be calculated using the British Columbia Biotic Ligand Model (BC BLM) software. (Update August 2019)Note 1.15 for Lead (dissolved):The maximum guideline for total lead in water, at a water hardness less than or equal to 8 mg/L as CaCO3 is set at 3.0 µg/L. When water hardness exceeds 8.0 mg/L CaCO3 the maximum guideline for lead at any time is given by the following equation:Maximum Criteria (µg/L) = exp (1.273 ln(hardness) - 1.460).The 30-day average guideline for total lead in water, when water hardness exceeds 8 mg/L as CaCO3, is as follows:30-Day Average (µg/L) is less than or equal to 3.31 + exp (1.273 ln (mean hardness) - 4.704). For hardness less than or equal to 8.0 mg/L there is no 30-day average guideline; hence the maximum concentration of 3.0 µg/L is used.Note 1.16 for Manganese (dissolved):The maximum concentration of total manganese in mg/L at any time should not exceed the value as determined by the following relationship:0.01102 hardness + 0.54where water hardness is reported as mg/L of CaCO3.The 30-day mean concentration of total manganese in mg/L should be less than or equal to the value as determined by the following relationship:0.0044 hardness + 0.605where water hardness is reported as mg/L of CaCO3.Note 1.17 for Mercury (dissolved):The average concentration of total mercury in water as measured over a 30-day period (based on five weekly samples) should not exceed 0.02 µg/L when the methyl mercury (MeHg) constitutes less than or equal to 0.5% of the total mercury concentration. When the proportion of MeHg is greater than 0.5%, the guideline should be adjusted as indicated in the Table 1 and Table 4 of the BC MOE Overview Report - First Update, February 2001.There is no guideline maximum for total mercury in water, for freshwater aquatic life.Note 1.18 for Molybdenum (dissolved):The maximum concentration for total molybdenum is 2 mg/L.The 30-day average concentration for total molybdenum (based on at least five weekly samples in a period of 30 days) is less than or equal to 1 mg/L.Note 1.19 for Selenium (dissolved):The 30-day average water quality guideline for protection of aquatic life is 2 µg/L determined as the mean concentration of 5 evenly spaced samples collected over 30 days, and measured as total selenium.The 30-day average alert concentration for the protection of aquatic life in sensitive ecosystems is 1 µg/L determined as the mean concentration of 5 evenly spaced samples collected over 30 days, and measured as total selenium.Note 1.20 for Silver (dissolved):The guideline maximum for total silver is:0.1 μg/L maximum if hardness less than or equal to 100 mg/L3.0 μg/L maximum if hardness greater than 100 mg/L.The guideline 30-day average for total silver is:0.05 μg/L as 30-day mean if hardness less than or equal to 100 mg/L1.5 μg/L as 30-day mean if hardness greater than 100 mg/L.Note 1.21 for Zinc (dissolved):



The Short-term Maximum concentration of total zinc (µg/L) at any time should not exceed 33 µg/L when water hardness is less than or equal to 90 mg/L as CaCO3.When water hardness exceeds 90 mg/L CaCO3, the Short-term Maximum guideline in μg/L for total zinc is the value determined by the following relationship:33 + 0.75 * (hardness - 90)where water hardness is reported as mg/L of CaCO3.Short-term maximum WQG formula applies to water hardness between 90 – 500 mg/L CaCO3.The Long-term Average concentration of total zinc (µg/L) at any time should not exceed 7.5 µg/L when water hardness is less than or equal to 90 mg/L as CaCO3.When water hardness exceeds 90 mg/L CaCO3, the Long-term Average guideline in μg/L for total zinc is the value determined by the following relationship:7.5 + 0.75 * (hardness - 90)where water hardness is reported as mg/L of CaCO3.Long-term average WQG formula applies to water hardness between 90 – 330 mg/L CaCO3.Note 1.22 for Ammonia (total, as N):The maximum guideline for ammonia varies as a function of pH and temperature. See Table 3 in Overview Report Update September 2009. The 30-day average guideline for ammonia varies as a function of pH and temperature. See Table 4 in Overview Report Update September 2009. / The lab pH and field temperature results were used for determining the maximum ammonia for this report. If a lab pH result was not available then the field pH result was used.Note 1.23 for Nitrate (as N):The guideline maximum for nitrate (as N) is 32.8 mg/l.The 30-day average guideline for nitrate (as N) is 3.0 mg /L. The 30-day average (chronic) concentration is based on 5 weekly samples collected within a 30-day period.Where nitrate and nitrite are present, the total nitrate+nitrite nitrogen should not exceed these values.Note 1.24 for Nitrate + Nitrite (as N) (calculated):The guideline maximum for nitrate (as N) is 32.8 mg/l.The 30-day average guideline for nitrate (as N) is 3.0 mg /L. The 30-day average (chronic) concentration is based on 5 weekly samples collected within a 30-day period.Where nitrate and nitrite are present, the total nitrate+nitrite nitrogen should not exceed these values.Note 1.25 for Nitrite (as N):The guideline maximum for nitrite as N is:0.06 mg/L if chloride less than 2 mg/L 0.12 mg/L if chloride is 2 to 4 mg/L 0.18 mg/L if chloride is 4 to 6 mg/L 0.24 mg/L if chloride is 6 to 8 mg/L 0.30 mg/L if chloride is 8 to 10 mg/L 0.60 mg/L if chloride is greater than 10 mg/L.The guideline 30-day average for nitrite as N is:0.02 mg/L if chloride less than 2 mg/L 0.04 mg/L if chloride is 2 to 4 mg/L 0.06 mg/L if chloride is 4 to 6 mg/L 0.08 mg/L if chloride is 6 to 8 mg/L 0.10 mg/L if chloride is 8 to 10 mg/L 0.20 mg/L if chloride is greater than 10 mg/L.Note 1.26 for Phosphorus (dissolved, by ICPMS/ICPOES):



Streams: None proposed for streams.Lakes: It is not possible to specify a single phosphorous concentration to achieve protection of aquatic life in lakes. A range of total phosphorous concentrations (5-15 µg/L) is suggested as the criterion which can be used as the basis for site specific water quality objectives.Note 1.27 for Phosphorus (total, APHA 4500-P):Streams: None proposed for streams.Lakes: It is not possible to specify a single phosphorous concentration to achieve protection of aquatic life in lakes. A range of total phosphorous concentrations (5-15 µg/L) is suggested as the criterion which can be used as the basis for site specific water quality objectives.2.

WWQG values are long-term (i.e. average) concentrations unless identified as a short-term maximum in the “Notes” for a specific analyte. Long-term WWQGs represent average substance concentrations calculated from 5 samples in 30 days. WWQG are given for total substance concentrations unless otherwise noted.Note 2.1 for Alkalinity (total, as CaCO3):The guideline for alkalinity (total as CaCO3) is as follows:- Less than 10 mg/L, highly sensitive to acid inputs- 10 to 20 mg/L, moderately sensitive to acid inputs- Greater than 20 mg/L, low sensitivity to acid inputs.Note 2.2 for Antimony (dissolved):The guideline is for antimony (III).Note 2.3 for Calcium (dissolved):The guideline for dissolved calcium in mg/L is as follows:- Less than 4, highly sensitive to acid inputs- 4 to 8, moderately sensitive- Greater than 8, low sensitivity.Note 2.4 for Chromium (dissolved):The guideline for Cr(VI) is 1 µg/L (total). The guideline for Cr(III) is 8.9 µg/L (total).

When water hardness exceeds 8.0 mg/L CaCO3 the maximum guideline for lead at any time is given by the following equation:Maximum Criteria (µg/L) = exp (1.273 ln(hardness) - 1.460).The 30-day average guideline for total lead in water, when water hardness exceeds 8 mg/L as CaCO3, is as follows:30-Day Average (µg/L) is less than or equal to 3.31 + exp (1.273 ln (mean hardness) - 4.704). For hardness less than or equal to 8.0 mg/L there is no 30-day average guideline; hence the maximum concentration of 3.0 µg/L is used.Note 3.16 for Manganese (dissolved):The maximum concentration of total manganese in mg/L at any time should not exceed the value as determined by the following relationship:0.01102 hardness + 0.54where water hardness is reported as mg/L of CaCO3.The 30-day mean concentration of total manganese in mg/L should be less than or equal to the value as determined by the following relationship:0.0044 hardness + 0.605where water hardness is reported as mg/L of CaCO3.Note 3.17 for Mercury (dissolved):The average concentration of total mercury in water as measured over a 30-day period (based on five weekly samples) should not exceed 0.02 µg/L when the methyl mercury (MeHg) constitutes less than or equal to 0.5% of the total mercury concentration. When the proportion of MeHg is greater than 0.5%, the guideline should be adjusted as indicated in the Table 1 and Table 4 of the BC MOE Overview Report - First Update, February 2001.There is no guideline maximum for total mercury in water, for freshwater aquatic life.Note 3.18 for Molybdenum (dissolved):The maximum concentration for total molybdenum is 2 mg/L.The 30-day average concentration for total molybdenum (based on at least five weekly samples in a period of 30 days) is less than or equal to 1 mg/L.Note 3.19 for Selenium (dissolved):The 30-day average water quality guideline for protection of aquatic life is 2 µg/L determined as the mean concentration of 5 evenly spaced samples collected over 30 days, and measured as total selenium.The 30-day average alert concentration for the protection of aquatic life in sensitive ecosystems is 1 µg/L determined as the mean concentration of 5 evenly spaced samples collected over 30 days, and measured as total selenium.Note 3.20 for Silver (dissolved):The guideline maximum for total silver is:0.1 μg/L maximum if hardness less than or equal to 100 mg/L3.0 μg/L maximum if hardness greater than 100 mg/L.The guideline 30-day average for total silver is:0.05 μg/L as 30-day mean if hardness less than or equal to 100 mg/L1.5 μg/L as 30-day mean if hardness greater than 100 mg/L.Note 3.21 for Zinc (dissolved):



The Short-term Maximum concentration of total zinc (µg/L) at any time should not exceed 33 µg/L when water hardness is less than or equal to 90 mg/L as CaCO3.When water hardness exceeds 90 mg/L CaCO3, the Short-term Maximum guideline in μg/L for total zinc is the value determined by the following relationship:33 + 0.75 * (hardness - 90)where water hardness is reported as mg/L of CaCO3.Short-term maximum WQG formula applies to water hardness between 90 – 500 mg/L CaCO3.The Long-term Average concentration of total zinc (µg/L) at any time should not exceed 7.5 µg/L when water hardness is less than or equal to 90 mg/L as CaCO3.When water hardness exceeds 90 mg/L CaCO3, the Long-term Average guideline in μg/L for total zinc is the value determined by the following relationship:7.5 + 0.75 * (hardness - 90)where water hardness is reported as mg/L of CaCO3.Long-term average WQG formula applies to water hardness between 90 – 330 mg/L CaCO3.Note 3.22 for Ammonia (total, as N):The maximum guideline for ammonia varies as a function of pH and temperature. See Table 3 in Overview Report Update September 2009. The 30-day average guideline for ammonia varies as a function of pH and temperature. See Table 4 in Overview Report Update September 2009. / The lab pH and field temperature results were used for determining the maximum ammonia concentration for this report. If a lab pH result was not available then the field pH result was used.Note 3.23 for Nitrate (as N):The guideline maximum for nitrate (as N) is 32.8 mg/l.The 30-day average guideline for nitrate (as N) is 3.0 mg /L. The 30-day average (chronic) concentration is based on 5 weekly samples collected within a 30-day period.Where nitrate and nitrite are present, the total nitrate+nitrite nitrogen should not exceed these values.Note 3.24 for Nitrate + Nitrite (as N) (calculated):The guideline maximum for nitrate (as N) is 32.8 mg/l.The 30-day average guideline for nitrate (as N) is 3.0 mg /L. The 30-day average (chronic) concentration is based on 5 weekly samples collected within a 30-day period.Where nitrate and nitrite are present, the total nitrate+nitrite nitrogen should not exceed these values.Note 3.25 for Nitrite (as N):The guideline maximum for nitrite as N is:0.06 mg/L if chloride less than 2 mg/L 0.12 mg/L if chloride is 2 to 4 mg/L 0.18 mg/L if chloride is 4 to 6 mg/L 0.24 mg/L if chloride is 6 to 8 mg/L 0.30 mg/L if chloride is 8 to 10 mg/L 0.60 mg/L if chloride is greater than 10 mg/L.The guideline 30-day average for nitrite as N is:0.02 mg/L if chloride less than 2 mg/L 0.04 mg/L if chloride is 2 to 4 mg/L 0.06 mg/L if chloride is 4 to 6 mg/L 0.08 mg/L if chloride is 6 to 8 mg/L 0.10 mg/L if chloride is 8 to 10 mg/L 0.20 mg/L if chloride is greater than 10 mg/L.Note 3.26 for Phosphorus (dissolved, by ICPMS/ICPOES):



Streams: None proposed for streams.Lakes: It is not possible to specify a single phosphorous concentration to achieve protection of aquatic life in lakes. A range of total phosphorous concentrations (5-15 µg/L) is suggested as the criterion which can be used as the basis for site specific water quality objectives.Note 3.27 for Phosphorus (total, APHA 4500-P):Streams: None proposed for streams.Lakes: It is not possible to specify a single phosphorous concentration to achieve protection of aquatic life in lakes. A range of total phosphorous concentrations (5-15 µg/L) is suggested as the criterion which can be used as the basis for site specific water quality objectives.4. Notes for BC Source Drinking Water Quality Guidelines - Maximum Acceptable Concentrations (2017 and updates) (BC SDWQG MAC)General Notes:The source drinking water quality guidelines presented in this document apply to the ambient water before it is treated and distributed for domestic use. The guidelines apply to drinking water sources from surface water and groundwater.Metal guidelines are based on total concentrations.Note 4.1 for Turbidity:For raw drinking water with treatment for particulates, the guideline is: Change from background of 5 NTU at any time when background is ≤ 50 NTU; and change from background of 10% when background is > 50 NTU.For raw drinking water without treatment for particulates, the guideline is: Change from background of 1 NTU at any time when background is ≤ 5 NTU; and change from background of 5 NTU at any time.If natural background turbidity is > 50 NTU, the guideline is: Induced turbidity should not exceed 10% of the background turbidity.5.

This analysis is carried out using procedures adapted from APHA Method 2320 "Alkalinity". Total alkalinity is determined by potentiometric titration to apH 4.5 endpoint. Bicarbonate, carbonate and hydroxide alkalinity are calculated from phenolphthalein alkalinity and total alkalinity values.

Inorganic anions are analyzed by Ion Chromatography with conductivity and/or UV detection.

This analysis is carried out using procedures adapted from APHA Method 5220 "Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD)". Chemical oxygen demand is determined using the closed reflux colourimetric method.

This analysis is carried out using procedures adapted from British Columbia Environmental Manual "Colour- Single Wavelength." Colour (True Colour) is determined by filtering a sample through a 0.45 micron membrane filter followed by analysis of the filtrate using the platinum-cobalt colourimetric method.Colour measurements can be highly pH dependent, and apply to the pH of the sample as received (at time of testing), without pH adjustment. Concurrent measurement of sample pH is recommended.

This analysis is carried out using procedures adapted from APHA Method 2510 "Conductivity". Conductivity is determined using a conductivity electrode.

Qualitative analysis of conductivity where required during preparation of other tests - e.g. TDS, metals, etc.

Hardness (also known as Total Hardness) is calculated from the sum of Calcium and Magnesium concentrations, expressed in CaCO3 equivalents. Dissolved Calcium and Magnesium concentrations are preferentially used for the hardness calculation.

Water samples are filtered (0.45 um), preserved with hydrochloric acid, then undergo a cold-oxidation using bromine monochloride prior to reduction with stannous chloride, and analyzed by CVAAS or CVAFS.

Water samples are filtered (0.45 um), preserved with nitric acid, and analyzed by CRC ICPMS.

Method Limitation (re: Sulfur): Sulfide and volatile sulfur species may not be recovered by this method.

This analysis is carried out, on sulfuric acid preserved samples, using procedures modified from J. Environ. Monit., 2005, 7, 37 - 42, The Royal Societyof Chemistry, "Flow-injection analysis with fluorescence detection for the determination of trace levels of ammonium in seawater", Roslyn J. Waston et al.

This analysis is carried out using procedures adapted from APHA Method 4500-P "Phosphorus". Total Phosphorus is determined colourimetrically after persulphate digestion of the sample.Samples with very high dissolved solids (i.e. seawaters, brackish waters) may produce a negative bias by this method. Alternate methods are available for these types of samples.

Arsenic (5+), at elevated levels, is a positive interference on colourimetric phosphate analysis.

This analysis is carried out using procedures adapted from APHA Method 4500-H "pH Value". The pH is determined in the laboratory using a pH electrode

It is recommended that this analysis be conducted in the field.

APPENDIX D - 2019 Post Closure Inspection Report

Kingfisher Diversion and Disposal Facility 2019 Post Closure Inspection Report

Date: June 12, 2019 Completed by: Jamie Jaffary Weather: Sunny

Objective: To observe and report vegetation growth, any signs of erosion (cracks, swale breakouts, soil movement, landfill gas smell etc.), and general maintenance concerns.

Site Description: The closed portion of the site is fenced on the east and south edge, and open to the west. The center of the site is raised and slopes at the edges towards a ditch along the majority of the west, south and east boundaries. The north-east section of the site is where the active transfer station is and where refrigeration units, wood, yard waste, and metal is collected. The active transfer station is surrounded by a chain link fence.

Method: Walk 6 passes traversing the closed site in the north-west to south-east direction approximately 20 meters apart, labelled 1 through 6 (Figure 1). Take field notes and pictures of observations. Use the same grid consistently in following years in order to monitor any changes.
