Third Party Consultant review of historical groundwater monitoring data and recommendations. Review included an in depth review of:
Physical and Geological setting Topography Surficial Geology and Hydrogeology (includes bedrock geology, hydrochemistry) Preliminary Investigations Analysis of Historical to Present Groundwater Monitoring Data Summary of Finding and Recommendations
Two types of groundwater chemistry on site SNP0053-5b is a viable background well High SO4 and Cl- are naturally occurring in SNP0053-5b The addition of a new background monitoring well to capture the
Addition of 2 new groundwater wells to monitoring network Fill in the existing gap to capture any potential contaminant plume

Continue monitoring for Chloride at 0053-7x series wells Fluoride and Sulphates are likely naturally occurring in the groundwater due to the natural history of the area and geological origins of the surficial tills in the area and therefore it is unnecessary to monitor at the 0053-7x series wells
Move from Total Metals to Dissolved Metals sampling to better align with guidelines Dissolved metals are based on most common contaminants found in landfill leachate
*new parameters removed parameters: Boron; Molybdenum; Selenium Proposed Dissolved Metals Aluminum Cobalt Manganese Strontium Arsenic Copper Mercury Tin* Barium* Iron Nickel Vanadium Beryllium Lead Phosphorous Zinc Cadmium Lithium* Potassium Chromium Magnesium Silver
Common practice is biannual (spring and fall) sampling More frequent sampling (i.e. quarterly) is difficult due frozen wells More frequent sampling as part of Corrective Actions
Determine new Action Levels which: Use the FIGQG as a starting point and use the FIGQG method (Section 5) to determine site specific Action Levels Incorporate the new and existing background wells Based on Dissolved Metals analysis
Provide reporting and trending based on Dissolved Metals Tables to be provided as part of Annual Reporting.
Tables to include criteria that they are being compared against (i.e. FIGQG or Action Level) Exceedances to be highlighted in Tables
Trend graphs to be provided by parameter and move to graphing Dissolved Metals as data is gathered
