Addenda QuestionsQuestion ID Question Answer
1 Has there been any hydrogeological study and/or annual groundwater or surface water monitoring at the landfill site? If so, can we see a copy of any reports or results.
The Town takes 2 sets of well samples per year. Copies of the Certificates of Analysis for 2018 and 2019 are included with the addenda. Also included is a survey of the well locations.
2 Has any additional site survey been conducted since 2012 and if so can we see the survey? No additional site surveys have been conducted since 2012.
3 What is the anticipated award date? This information will assist in preparing the work schedule and allocating resources.
Expect formal award (via Town Council) to be within one month of RFP opening.
4 Is there an upset budget amount set for this project? There is no upset budget amount set.
5 The EA Terms of Reference (TOR) will provide an approved roadmap for completion of the subsequent Environmental Assessment. Since the TOR has yet to be completed or approved, the investigation /study and consultation requirements for the subsequent EA are unknown at this time. Would the Town consider carrying an allowance budget for completion of the Environmental Assessment at the proposal stage?
If you want to provide the Town with an estimated cost and timeline for that work to happen, we would entertain that. If we can start that process concurrently, it is probably worthwhile. It can be included as an option is an RFP we can consider it, no obligation to proceed.
6 Will the Town of Fort Frances accept proposals by firms working in partnership to complete the proposed scope?
Yes. Partnerships are acceptable.
7 Will the Town provide scoring values for the Evaluation Criteria provided in Section 3 – Project Description, Subsection 3)?
No, the evaluation criteria will not be shared. The Town reserves the right to establish weighting factors as we see fit.
8 Will the Town provide a proponents a copy of the latest landfill monitoring report for review?
Last MECP inspection was completed in Oct 2016. Report is attached as part of the addenda.
9 Has the Town conducted an audit of the waste received at the site? If so, can that be provided for proponent review?
There has not been an audit completed of the waste received at site. We do some separation …. Metals are seperated; yard wastes, wood, etc are separated and burned annually in the fall, the town has a residential recycling program to divert waste from the landfill. We also host an annual Household Hazardous Waste day to divert HHW from the landfill.
10 How is the Town addressing its workflow and can you tell me if it is your intent to defer this RFP or if you prefer we continue progressing at our normal pace (as best as possible)?
We do not intend to defer this RFP as the project is understood to be a significant step in terms of long term planning with respect to the Town of Fort Frances Landfill. The project will continue at its regular pace and we will adapt the project as the COVID‐19 pandemic continues to unfold and (hopefully) subside.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
This inspection was conducted under section 156(1) of the Environmental Protection Act (EPA). The purpose of this inspection was to assess compliance with applicable Environmental Compliance Approval (ECA), Regulation 347, the EPA and other applicable legislation and guidelines.
Records indicate that in 1973, the Town of Fort Frances applied for an Certificate of Approval/Environmental Compliance approval and on October 14, 1975, the original provisional ECA was issued. The ECA application states that a proposed disposal of 70% domestic and 30% commercial wastes and was expected over an estimated 50 year life span with an estimated deposition of 50 tons/day. The ECA does not contain any specifics regarding operation or monitoring/reporting of the site.
The landfill is located outside of the municipal boundaries of the Town of Fort Frances on private land owned by the neighbouring Township of Alberton. Operation of the landfill is currently contracted out to Tom Veert Contracting Ltd. Curbside waste and recycling pick up is contracted to Asselin Transportation and Storage Ltd.
The landfill's hours are 9-5 Monday-Friday and 10-5 on Saturdays. The Town of Fort Frances also operates a once a
Solid Non-Hazardous Waste Disposal Site Inspection Repo

year household hazardous waste day off site in conjunction with other local municipalities.
The landfill consists of a weigh scale which vehicles must go over and declare their types of wastes to the gate attendant for direction on the disposal location.
The inspection consisted of a site tour and discussion with Mr. Doug Herr and a file review. A copy of this inspection will also be provided to Tom Veert Contracting Ltd as the operator of the facility.
2.0 INSPECTION OBSERVATIONS
Certificate of Approval Number(s):A610301, was originally issued on October 14, 1975 and renewed on April 1, 1980 to the current version.
2.1 FINANCIAL ASSURANCE:
Specifics:As the landfill is municipally owned, financial assurance is not required.
2.2 APPROVED AREA OF THE SITE:
Specifics:The ECA authorizes the use and operation of a 6.0 ha landfilling site.
2.3 APPROVED CAPACITY:
Specifics:The ECA does not identify an approved capacity for this site.
According to a 2002 report prepared by KGS for the Town of Fort Frances, the estimated capacity of the site is 474,000 m3, with a remaining capacity of 249,000 m3. The most conservative estimated annual waste disposal rate in the report was 13,900 m3/year, with a life expectancy until the year 2020.
During the inspection, it was noted that the Town has undertook an updated capacity study approx. five years ago. 2.4 ACCESS CONTROL:
Specifics:The main entrance to the site is signed and fenced with a locked gate, as well as a secondary gate is located near the scale/attendant shack. An attendant is on-site at all times when the landfill is open to the general public.
2.5 COVER MATERIAL:
Specifics:Daily cover and compaction is occluding at this site. At the time of inspection, the main compactor was down for repairs, but the contractor was utilizing a small dozer to continue cover and compaction efforts.
Cover material is stockpiled on site. Most of the cover material is from water/sewer line replacements within the Town of Fort Frances.
2.6 WASTE BURNING:
Specifics:There was no evidence of waste burning at the site during the inspection. The wood waste pile is typically burned in late fall/early winter on a yearly basis.
The wood waste pile at the time of the inspection was quite large and was pushed up to the surrounding bush line. The woodwaste pile also contained a significant amount of wastes that are prohibited from burning in accordance with the EPA and Reg. 347 as they do not meet the requirements to be deemed woodwaste, such as boats, treated dock structures with plastic floats, creosote treated timbers and household wastes.
The current condition of the wood waste pile makes it unacceptable to burn at this time.
2.7 GROUNDWATER/SURFACEWATER IMPACT:
Solid Non-Hazardous Waste Disposal Site Inspection Repo
Page 3
Specifics:The Town undertakes a voluntary annual groundwater monitoring program at six monitoring wells at the site.
There were no obvious signs of surface water impact during the inspection. There is a large bog between this landfill and the adjacent industrial landfill owned/operated by Resolute Forest Product's.
2.8 LEACHATE CONTROL SYSTEM:
Specifics:There is no leachate control system required at this time.
2.9 METHANE GAS CONTROL SYSTEM:
Specifics:There is no methane gas control system required at this time.
2.10 OTHER WASTES:
Specifics:There is a very large metal pile at the landfill. Numerous tagged (ozone depleting materials removed) were 1.observed in the pile. The landfill operators have established a separate area close to the scale shack for un-tagged refrigerants. When approx. a dozen units have been deposited, a local contractor attends the site to remove the ozone depleting substances as required by Ontario Regulation 463/10. This procedure is outlined in the tender agreement between the owner and operator.Provincial Officer's Order No. 7011-9QDQKC (the Order) was issued to the Town of Fort Frances on November 7, 2.2014. The Order was issued as an emergency measure to address a change in sewage biosolids management at the municipal sewage plant. This Order allowed for the temporary disposal of processed organic wastes from the municipal sewage plant to the landfill until the plant could be upgraded to process biosolids on site. The Order is currently still in effect while the final stages of the project are pending completion.

Ion Balance Calculation
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.
Inorganic anions are analyzed by Ion Chromatography with conductivity and/or UV detection.
True Colour in aqueous matrices is analyzed using colourimetric detection. This is determined by filtering a sample through a 0.45 micron membrane filter followed by analysis of the filtrate using a platinum-cobalt standard.
Water samples are determined by filtering the sample through a 0.45 micron membrane filter prior to analysis. Analyzed by converting all carbonaceous material to carbon dioxide (CO2) by catalytic combustion at 850?C. The CO2 generated is measured by an infrared detector and is directly proportional to concentration of carbonaceous material in the sample
This analysis is carried out using procedures adapted from APHA Method 2510 "Conductivity". Conductivity is determined using a conductivity electrode.
Inorganic anions are analyzed by Ion Chromatography with conductivity and/or UV detection.
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 CVAFS.
Cation Sum, Anion Sum, and Ion Balance (as % difference) are calculated based on guidance from APHA Standard Methods (1030E Checking Correctness of Analysis). Because all aqueous solutions are electrically neutral, the calculated ion balance (% difference of cations minus anions)

Ion Balance Calculation
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.
Inorganic anions are analyzed by Ion Chromatography with conductivity and/or UV detection.
True Colour in aqueous matrices is analyzed using colourimetric detection. This is determined by filtering a sample through a 0.45 micron membrane filter followed by analysis of the filtrate using a platinum-cobalt standard.
Water samples are determined by filtering the sample through a 0.45 micron membrane filter prior to analysis. Analyzed by converting all carbonaceous material to carbon dioxide (CO2) by catalytic combustion at 850?C. The CO2 generated is measured by an infrared detector and is directly proportional to concentration of carbonaceous material in the sample
This analysis is carried out using procedures adapted from APHA Method 2510 "Conductivity". Conductivity is determined using a conductivity electrode.
Inorganic anions are analyzed by Ion Chromatography with conductivity and/or UV detection.
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 CVAFS.

Cation Sum, Anion Sum, and Ion Balance (as % difference) are calculated based on guidance from APHA Standard Methods (1030E Checking Correctness of Analysis). Because all aqueous solutions are electrically neutral, the calculated ion balance (% difference of cations minus anions) should be near-zero. Cation and Anion Sums are the total meq/L concentration of major cations and anions. Dissolved species are used where available. Minor ions are included where data is present. Ion Balance is calculated as: Ion Balance (%) = [Cation Sum-Anion Sum] / [Cation Sum+Anion Sum]
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 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 5310 "Total Organic Carbon (TOC)". Dissolved carbon (DOC) fractions are determined by filtering the sample through a 0.45 micron membrane filter prior to analysis.
Inorganic anions are analyzed by Ion Chromatography with conductivity and/or UV detection.
True Colour in aqueous matrices is analyzed using colourimetric detection. This is determined by filtering a sample through a 0.45 micron membrane filter followed by analysis of the filtrate using a platinum-cobalt standard.
This analysis is carried out using procedures adapted from APHA Method 2510 "Conductivity". Conductivity is determined using a conductivity electrode.
Inorganic anions are analyzed by Ion Chromatography with conductivity and/or UV detection.
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.

Analysis conducted in accordance with the Protocol for Analytical Methods Used in the Assessment of Properties under Part XV.1 of the Environmental Protection Act (July 1, 2011).
Cation Sum, Anion Sum, and Ion Balance (as % difference) are calculated based on guidance from APHA Standard Methods (1030E Checking Correctness of Analysis). Because all aqueous solutions are electrically neutral, the calculated ion balance (% difference of cations minus anions) should be near-zero. Cation and Anion Sums are the total meq/L concentration of major cations and anions. Dissolved species are used where available. Minor ions are included where data is present. Ion Balance is calculated as: Ion Balance (%) = [Cation Sum-Anion Sum] / [Cation Sum+Anion Sum]
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.
Ammonia in aqueous matrices is analyzed using discrete analyzer with colourimetric detection.
Inorganic anions are analyzed by Ion Chromatography with conductivity and/or UV detection.
Inorganic anions are analyzed by Ion Chromatography with conductivity and/or UV detection.
Phosphorus in aqueous matrices is analyzed using discrete Analyzer with colourimetric detection.
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
Phosphorus in aqueous matrices is analyzed using discrete Analyzer with colourimetric detection.
Inorganic anions are analyzed by Ion Chromatography with conductivity and/or UV detection.
Aqueous matrices are analyzed using gravimetry and evaporation
Aqueous matrices are analyzed using nephelometry with the light scatter measured at a 90” angle.

Ion Balance Calculation
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.
Inorganic anions are analyzed by Ion Chromatography with conductivity and/or UV detection.
True Colour in aqueous matrices is analyzed using colourimetric detection. This is determined by filtering a sample through a 0.45 micron membrane filter followed by analysis of the filtrate using a platinum-cobalt standard.
Water samples are determined by filtering the sample through a 0.45 micron membrane filter prior to analysis. Analyzed by converting all carbonaceous material to carbon dioxide (CO2) by catalytic combustion at 850?C. The CO2 generated is measured by an infrared detector and is directly proportional to concentration of carbonaceous material in the sample
This analysis is carried out using procedures adapted from APHA Method 2510 "Conductivity". Conductivity is determined using a conductivity electrode.
Inorganic anions are analyzed by Ion Chromatography with conductivity and/or UV detection.
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.
Cation Sum, Anion Sum, and Ion Balance (as % difference) are calculated based on guidance from APHA Standard Methods (1030E Checking Correctness of Analysis). Because all aqueous solutions are electrically neutral, the calculated ion balance (% difference of cations minus anions) should be near-zero. Cation and Anion Sums are the total meq/L concentration of major cations and anions. Dissolved species are used where available. Minor ions are included where data is present. Ion Balance is calculated as:
