2015 Annual Report

Wilno Waste Transfer Site (A413401)


March 2016 Page i

Executive Summary

This report has been prepared to document the results of the 2015 environmental monitoring program for

the Township of Madawaska Valley’s Wilno Waste Transfer Site, located on Part Lots 5 and 6,

Concession IV, in the geographic Township of Sherwood, in the amalgamated Township of Madawaska

Valley. The site is located approximately two kilometres west of the Hamlet of Wilno, accessed by

Provincial Highway 60.

The Wilno Waste Transfer Site operates in accordance with Environmental Compliance Approval A413401,

for the transfer of municipal solid waste generated within the entire Township of Madawaska Valley. The

site is approved for the use of a 2.0 hectare waste transfer station, within a 13.2 hectare total site area.

The groundwater configuration at the site indicated that the predominant direction of groundwater flow was

to the east and northeast, in the general direction of Byer’s Creek, downgradient of the site. Additionally,

based on groundwater elevations observed in 2015, a component of groundwater was interpreted to flow to

the south and southeast in the vicinity of monitoring wells BH5A, BH5B, and BH8. Average horizontal

gradients in the vicinity of the waste mound in June 2015, and to the northeast of the former disposal area,

were calculated to be approximately 0.009 to the east and northeast. Similarly, average horizontal

gradients in August 2015 in the vicinity of waste mound, and to the northeast of the former disposal area,

were calculated to be approximately 0.008 and 0.002 to the east and northeast, respectively. Groundwater

quality immediately downgradient of the waste mound was interpreted to be slightly impacted from landfill-

related factors; however, monitoring wells located further downgradient of the site were not interpreted to

be impacted from the landfill. Similar to 2014, the Reasonable Use Concept assessments conducted at

monitoring wells BH2 and BH9, located near the northern and eastern property boundaries, respectively,

indicated that the site was in conformance with Ontario Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change

Guideline B-7 in 2014. The surface water monitoring program was discontinued at the Wilno site in 2014.

Based on Township of Madawaska Valley records, approximately 2,169 vehicles visited the Wilno site and

5,658 bags of waste were received in 2015 and transferred to the Township of Madawaska Valley’s Bark

Lake site for disposal.

Blue Box recycling tonnage records provided by the Ottawa Valley Waste Recovery Centre and the

Township of Madawaska Valley indicate that a total of 37.38 tonnes of Blue Box recyclable material were

collected from the Wilno site in 2015. Blue Box recyclable quantities contributing to this total included

12.08 tonnes of commingled containers, 12.69 tonnes of mixed fibres, and 12.61 tonnes of old corrugated

cardboard. According to Township of Madawaska Valley records, approximately 24.15 tonnes of scrap

metal and white goods were collected from the Wilno site by local recycling contractors in 2015. In total,

2015 Annual Report



March 2016 Page ii

120.76 tonnes of scrap metal and white goods were collected from all sites in the Township of Madawaska

Valley in 2015. Additionally, 23.99 tonnes of waste electrical and electronics equipment and 269.23 tonnes

of household organics were diverted in the municipality in 2015. Per information provided by the Township

of Madawaska Valley, no tires were collected at the Wilno site in 2015.

The Township of Madawaska Valley completed final closure activities, including the application of final

cover over all areas of the former landfilling area, at the Wilno Waste Transfer Site in September 2011.

Following the completion of final closure activities, the transfer station at the Wilno Waste Transfer Site was

relocated to better facilitate the transfer of Blue Box and bulk recyclables off-site for processing and/or

market. The Township of Madawaska Valley completed the final closure activities in accordance with the

Closure Plan, the site’s Environmental Compliance Approval, and supporting documentation. The

Township of Madawaska Valley operated the transfer station at the Wilno Waste Transfer Site as part of

waste management operations for the municipality in 2015.

Reductions in the scope of the annual groundwater monitoring program for the Wilno Waste Disposal Site

are proposed as part of this 2015 Annual Report, including reducing the monitoring and reporting program

to a biannual schedule (every two years). Provided the results of the biannual environmental monitoring

and reporting program in 2016, 2018, and 2020 remain generally consistent with the 2015 environmental

monitoring program, then the environmental monitoring and reporting program to the Ontario Ministry of the

Environment and Climate Change is proposed to cease following the 2020 sampling season. The

reductions in scope proposed are required to be approved by the MOE, prior to implementation.

End.

1.0 Introduction

1.1 Site Information

The Wilno Waste Transfer Site operates under Environmental Compliance Approval (ECA) A413401 issued

July 6, 1998, including the most recent amendment on February 24, 2009 (Appendix A). The Wilno site is

located on Part Lots 5 and 6, Concession IV, in the geographic Township of Sherwood, in the amalgamated

Township of Madawaska Valley (Township), in Renfrew County (Figure 1). The Universal Transverse

Mercator (UTM) coordinates at the site entrance gate relative to the North American Datum (NAD83) are

298366.0 metres (m) East, 5042032.0 m North, in Zone 18T (Google Earth, 2013). The Wilno site is

approximately two (2) kilometres (km) west of the Hamlet of Wilno, and is situated on Township-owned

lands which extend to the northeast, up to and including portions of Byer’s Creek east of the site (Figure 2).

The Wilno site currently operates as a municipal solid waste and recycling transfer station only, with

received municipal waste transported to the Township’s Bark Lake Waste Disposal Site (A413404) for final

disposal. The Wilno site is approved for the use of a 2.0 hectare (ha) waste transfer station, within a 13.2 ha

total site area (Appendix A, Figures 3 and 4). Blue Box recyclables and household organics are transported

directly from the site to the Ottawa Valley Waste Recovery Centre (OVWRC), as necessary.

1.2 Background

The Wilno site has been closed to waste disposal operations since 1997, and currently receives (for transfer

only) solid, non-hazardous municipal waste and recyclables generated within the Township.

As documented in the 2006 Annual Report, Wilno Waste Disposal Site (Greenview Environmental

Management Limited [Greenview], 2007a), the Township submitted an application to amend the ECA

A413401 in 2004, to recognize the interim-closure of the Wilno Waste Disposal Site in accordance with

applicable Ontario Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change (MOE) guidelines.

Subsequently, the Township submitted an application to amend the ECA on June 27, 2007 recognizing final

closure concepts at the site, with supporting technical documentation entitled Closure Plan, Wilno Waste

Disposal Site (Closure Plan, Greenview, 2007b). An amendment to the ECA, recognizing the Closure Plan,

was provided by the MOE dated October 9, 2007 (Appendix A). Additionally, Condition 15 of the amended

ECA was modified to increase the maximum allowable volumes of non-hazardous municipal waste, Blue

Box recyclables, organics (SSO), old corrugated cardboard (OCC), waste tires, and scrap metal stored on-

site.

On October 1, 2008, an additional amendment to the ECA was issued by the MOE, further to a formal

request from the Township, which extended the closure construction completion date at the Wilno site to

2015 Annual Report



March 2016 Page 2

December 31, 2009 (Appendix A). Further, in electronic correspondence with the MOE dated

February 25, 2009, Greenview, on behalf of the Township, presented an amended approach to closure

concepts and existing waste transfer operations for the Township’s Wilno site (Greenview, 2009). A

response from the MOE dated March 3, 2009 accepted the proposed amended approach for closure

activities at the site and extended the date for closure construction completion to December 31, 2011

(Greenview, 2009).

Final closure activities, including the application of final cover material, were completed at the Wilno site in

September 2011. The transfer station at the site was re-located following completion of closure activities in

order to better facilitate the transfer of Blue Box and bulk recyclables off-site (Greenview, 2012).

The Township received surface water review comments for the 2010 Annual Report (Greenview, 2011) from

the MOE Technical Support Section (TSS), dated January 27, 2012 (Greenview, 2012). A response to the

review comments was provided in the 2012 Annual Report (Greenview, 2013). An update to the response

to the MOE TSS review comments was included in the 2013 Annual Report (Greenview, 2014). Based on

the MOE TSS comments, and since no landfill-related impacts to Byer’s Creek were noted in 2012 and

2013, the surface water monitoring program for the Wilno site was discontinued in 2014.

The Township received groundwater review comments for the 2012 Annual Report (Greenview, 2013) from

the MOE TSS, dated October 4, 2013 (Greenview, 2014). The MOE TSS review confirmed that the Wilno

site is in conformance with MOE Guideline B-7. Furthermore, the MOE TSS confirmed that impacts to the

surface water receptor (Byer’s Creek) were not apparent.

Greenview was retained by the Township to complete the 2015 environmental monitoring and reporting

program at the Wilno site.

1.3 Purpose and Scope

The purpose of this report is to satisfy Condition 20 of the ECA (A413401), and to provide an overview of the

annual environmental monitoring, environmental compliance, and operations at the Wilno site, including the

following:

Groundwater quality assessment and Reasonable Use Concept (RUC, MOE Guideline B-7) compliance

(Section 4.1).

Site operational overview (Section 4.2).

Conclusions and recommendations (Section 5.0).

2015 Annual Report



March 2016 Page 3

2.0 Site Description

The following sections present a summary of the physical characteristics for the Wilno site. Locations of

features described in this report are referenced to grid north.

2.1 Topography and Drainage

The Wilno site is located in a former aggregate extraction area, with periodic extraction operations

conducted by the Township in the eastern portion of the property. Local topography in the vicinity of the site

slopes towards the northeast, in the direction of Byer’s Creek located approximately 240 m east of the

existing limit of waste at the site, while the relief in the immediate vicinity of the waste mound is relatively

flat. East and downgradient of the site, Byer’s Creek is observed to flow from northwest to southeast and

parallel to the site, following passage through a large concrete culvert under Provincial Highway 60

(Highway 60, Figure 2). Byer’s Creek is a permanent surface water system.

As part of final closure construction activities at the site, and in accordance with the concepts and final

closure design outlined in the Closure Plan (Greenview, 2007b) and in the amended approach presented to

the MOE (Greenview, 2009), overland flow and stormwater drainage are managed to flow west to east

towards the active aggregate extraction area.

2.2 Hydrogeological Conditions

Overburden geology at the Wilno site is characterized by quaternary glaciofluvial ice contact deposits,

including sand and gravel materials (Ontario Ministry of Northern Development and Mines [OMNDM],

1991a), and mezoproterozoic felsic igneous bedrock underlying the site (OMNDM, 1991b). Similar to

historic results, the direction of groundwater flow noted within the shallow overburden unit at the Wilno site

in 2015 was generally to the east and northeast, in the general direction of Byer’s Creek, east of the site

(Figures 3 and 4). Additionally, based on groundwater elevations noted in 2015, a component of

groundwater was interpreted to flow to the south in the vicinity of monitoring wells BH5A, BH5B, and BH8

(Figure 3).

Further to correspondence from the MOE Technical Support Section (TSS, March 18, 2008), hydraulic

conductivity values for the Wilno site were estimated by Golder Associates Ltd. (Golder) in March 1992

using rising head tests and grain size correlations (Golder, 1992). Based on rising head tests, the bulk

horizontal hydraulic conductivity of the native fine to medium sand in the vicinity of monitoring well BH2 was

estimated to be 1.8 x 10-3 centimetres per second (cm/s), and the bulk hydraulic conductivity of the glacial till

encountered at monitoring wells BH5A and BH5B was estimated to be 1.1 x 10-3 cm/s (Golder, 1992).

Estimates of horizontal hydraulic conductivity using grain size correlations were found to be in the range of

2015 Annual Report



March 2016 Page 4

5.9 x 10-3 cm/s to 7.8 x10-2 cm/s for native sand and sand and gravel deposits at the site, whereas the

hydraulic conductivity of the glacial till was estimated to be 1.0 x 10-4 cm/s (Golder, 1992).

Further to the MOE TSS review of the 2006 Annual Report (Greenview, 2007), the hydraulic conductivity of

the sandy overburden at the site was estimated to be 5 x 10-4 metres per second (m/s).

All available borehole logs for the Wilno site are included in Appendix B of this report. The available

borehole logs include details regarding well construction for the corresponding monitoring wells.

2.3 Operational Setting

The Wilno site currently consists of an approved waste disposal area of 2.0 ha within a total property area of

13.2 ha. The site is situated on Township-owned lands extending to the northeast towards Byer’s Creek

located downgradient of the site (Figure 2). The eastern and northeastern portions of the site are used by

the Township for periodic aggregate (sand and gravel) extraction, while the portion of the property

downgradient and east of monitoring well BH9 is forested (Figure 2). The Township registered the

Certificate of Requirement for the site on title on December 14, 2010 (Appendix A).

The site currently operates as a municipal waste and recycling transfer station, and has been closed to

landfilling operations since 1997. As part of waste transfer operations at the site, the Township maintains a

site attendant’s office, privy, Blue Box recycling depot, organic waste containers (Molok), and designated

areas for stockpiled bulky recyclable materials including tires, scrap metal, and white goods (Figure 2).

Municipal waste received at the site is deposited in eight yard tipper bins for transfer and disposal at the

Township’s Bark Lake Waste Disposal Site.

The Township completed final closure activities, including the application of final cover over all areas of the

former landfilling area, at the Wilno site in September 2011 (Greenview, 2012). Following the completion of

final closure activities, the transfer station at the Wilno site was relocated in order to better facilitate the

transfer of Blue Box and bulk recyclables off-site for processing and/or market (Figure 2).

3.0 2015 Environmental Monitoring Program

The following sections present the methodology of the environmental monitoring program conducted at the

Wilno site in 2015. Historical groundwater data are included in Table 4.

3.1 Groundwater Monitoring

Groundwater monitoring and sampling activities were conducted by Greenview on August 20, 2015 from the

network of groundwater monitoring wells on-site as part of the 2015 environmental monitoring program

(Table 1). The UTM coordinates of the groundwater monitoring wells were confirmed or measured by

Greenview personnel during site visits in 2015 using a handheld geographic positioning system (GPS)

instrument with an anticipated accuracy of within +/- 5 m (Table 2). Groundwater elevations were also

measured at the site during the spring groundwater elevation monitoring event on June 2, 2015.

Groundwater elevations were measured at each monitoring well using an electronic water level tape prior to

sampling. Based on the groundwater elevation, a well purge volume equivalent to approximately three (3)

borehole volumes was calculated in-situ using a standard conversion factor relevant to the respective well

diameter.

Groundwater samples were collected from each monitoring well using dedicated polyethylene tubing and

inertial lift foot-valves. Samples were collected into appropriate sample bottles as provided by an accredited

laboratory and the designated sample for metal parameters was field-filtered using a dedicated High

Capacity 45 micron filter to reduce the potential for turbidity-induced bias in the analytical results for the

metal parameters.

A blind duplicate groundwater sample for Quality Assurance and Quality Control (QA/QC) purposes was

obtained from monitoring well BH9 as part of the August 20, 2015 sampling event.

All samples were submitted to an accredited analytical laboratory to be analyzed for the parameter suite

listed in Table 1.

Field measurements of pH, conductivity, dissolved oxygen (DO), and temperature were recorded at each

respective groundwater well immediately following the collection of the groundwater samples. Field

sampling records completed during the 2015 environmental monitoring program are included in Appendix C.

The groundwater samples were recorded on a laboratory Chain of Custody Form, and the samples were

placed in coolers packed with contained ice for preservation during transport to the analytical laboratory.

The results of the 2015 groundwater monitoring program are presented in Section 4.1 of this report.

2015 Annual Report



March 2016 Page 6

3.2 Surface Water Monitoring

Per MOE TSS surface water review comments, and the results of surface water monitoring in 2012 and

2013, no impacts were interpreted to be related to former landfilling activities at the Wilno site

(Greenview, 2014). Therefore, surface water monitoring at the Wilno site was discontinued effective 2014.

Historical surface water quality data are included in Table 5 of this report.

3.3 Analytical Laboratory Accreditation

Collected groundwater and surface water samples were submitted for analysis to the SGS Environmental

Laboratory (SGS), located in Lakefield, Ontario. SGS is accredited by the Canadian Association for

Laboratory Accreditation (CALA), for specific environmental testing procedures listed in the scope of

accreditation and is assessed biannually by CALA to the ISO/IEC 17025 standard. ISO/IEC 17025 is an

international standard for both quality management and technical aspects of operating a testing laboratory.

SGS is licensed by the MOE to perform analysis on drinking water in Ontario in accordance with the Safe

Drinking Water Act.

3.4 Landfill Gas Monitoring

Landfill gas monitoring is not part of the environmental monitoring program for the site. The porous cover

materials allow for natural gas flux to the atmosphere. Overburden geology at and adjacent to the site is

characterized by quaternary glaciofluvial ice contact deposits, including sand and gravel materials

(OMNDM, 1991a), overlying a dense mezoproterozoic felsic igneous bedrock unit at the site

(OMNDM, 1991b). These overburden and bedrock characteristics, in conjunction with the extended

distance to the nearest residence, provide a minimal risk of landfill gases impinging off-site receivers.

3.5 Operational Monitoring

Operational monitoring at the Wilno site is minimal given that the site operates as a municipal solid waste

and recycling transfer station only, with received municipal waste transferred to the Township’s Bark Lake

site for final disposal.

Given the site’s closed status for landfilling and current use as a waste transfer station only, a topographic

survey of the waste mound for the determination of site capacity was not conducted in 2015.

The Township submits annual waste diversion reports in accordance with the Municipal Datacall, inclusive

of the Wilno site, to Waste Diversion Ontario (WDO).

The results of the 2015 operational monitoring are presented in Section 4.2.

2015 Annual Report



March 2016 Page 7

4.0 Environmental Monitoring Results

The following sections present a summary of the results of the 2015 environmental monitoring program for

the Wilno site.

4.1 Groundwater Quality Assessment

The results of the 2015 groundwater monitoring program conducted at the site are presented as follows.

4.1.1 Groundwater Configuration

Historically, the groundwater configuration at the site has been interpreted to flow locally towards the east

and northeast, in the general direction of the creek downgradient of the site (Figures 3 and 4,

Greenview, 2015). Based on groundwater elevations in June and August of 2015, the predominant direction

of groundwater flow within the shallow overburden unit at the Wilno site was consistent with historical

interpretations (Greenview, 2015), as groundwater was interpreted to flow to the east and northeast, in the

general direction of Byer’s Creek east of the site, with a component of groundwater interpreted to flow to the

south in the vicinity of monitoring wells BH5A, BH5B, and BH8 (Table 3, Figure 3). Similarly in the summer

of 2015, the direction of groundwater flow within the shallow overburden unit at the site was consistent with

historical interpretations (Greenview, 2015), as groundwater was interpreted to flow to the east and

northeast, in the general direction of Byer’s Creek (Table 3, Figure 4).

Average horizontal gradients calculated in 2015 for the Wilno site were consistent with historical results

(Greenview, 2015) and were as follows:

(Spring 2015) Direction

Horizontal Gradient

(Summer 2015) Direction

Vicinity of Closed Waste Mound

0.009 East and Northeast


Northeast of Closed Waste

Mound 0.009

Consistent with historical environmental monitoring programs (Greenview, 2015), and using groundwater

elevations measured in 2015 (Table 3), vertical hydraulic gradients were calculated at monitoring wells

BH5A and BH5B for the spring and summer groundwater elevation monitoring events. The vertical

gradients calculated in 2015 were as follows:

2015 Annual Report



March 2016 Page 8

Monitoring Wells Vertical Gradient

(Spring 2015) Vertical Gradient (Summer 2015)

BH5A & BH5B - 0.007 - 0.030

During the site inspections conducted by Greenview on June 2, 2015 and August 20, 2015, as part of the

2015 environmental monitoring program, all monitoring wells were observed to be in good condition in

accordance with Ontario Regulation 903 (O.Reg. 903), as amended.

4.1.2 Groundwater Quality

The results of the 2015 groundwater monitoring program are presented in Table 4 and the accredited

laboratory Certificates of Analysis (SGS) are attached in Appendix D. Analytical data for respective

groundwater wells were compared to the Ontario Drinking Water Standards (ODWS, MOE, 2006), median

historical background water quality at the site, and MOE Guideline B-7 and the RUC (MOE, 1994a). RUC

values were calculated using the median background concentration from a minimum of ten (10) previous

sampling events (Table 4). Trend analysis was completed using results from the previous five (5) years and

only significant trends are discussed in this report.

Consistent with historical interpretations, in 2015 background water quality at the Wilno site was interpreted

from samples collected from monitoring well BH1, located approximately 30 m upgradient of the closed

waste mound (Figures 3 and 4). In August 2015, a few parameter concentrations were noted to exceed the

median historical background concentration at the Wilno site (Table 4). Non-conformances of ODWS and

significant groundwater trends at background groundwater monitoring location BH1 were as follows

(Table 4):

Monitoring Well

ODWS Non-Conformance Five (5) Year Trend Analysis

Summer 2015 Increasing Decreasing

BH1 (background)

None No significant

trends No significant

trends

Generally, the background groundwater quality results at BH1 appear to be stable over time.

Groundwater quality immediately downgradient of the waste mound is characterized by groundwater from

monitoring wells BH3A, BH3B, BH4A, BH5A, BH5B, BH7A, and BH8. Groundwater quality results cross-

gradient/upgradient to the former landfill are obtained from monitoring well BH2, and groundwater quality

results furthest downgradient from the site and closest to the property boundary are obtained from

2015 Annual Report



March 2016 Page 9

monitoring well BH9 (Figures 3 and 4).

Monitoring well BH2 is located approximately 90 m north of the northern extent of the waste mound, and

adjacent to the site entrance, the northern property boundary, and Highway 60 (Figures 3 and 4).

Monitoring well BH2 is the northern-most monitoring well in the network of groundwater wells at the Wilno

site, and based on the groundwater flow direction, is interpreted to be cross-gradient/upgradient to the

closed waste mound (Figures 3 and 4). In 2015, some parameter concentrations exceeded median

historical background conditions at the site (Table 4). Non-conformances of ODWS and significant

groundwater trends at groundwater monitoring location BH2 were as follows (Table 4):

Monitoring Well



BH2 None No significant


trends

Similar to historical results, elevated parameter concentrations of chloride, sodium, and total dissolved solids

(TDS) are interpreted to be related to winter road maintenance activities in the vicinity of monitoring well

BH2 along Highway 60 and the site entrance. Monitoring well BH2 is not interpreted to be impacted by

landfill-related factors.

Monitoring well BH7A is located at the northeastern limit of the waste mound (Figures 3 and 4), and has

historically exhibited groundwater quality interpreted to be most impacted by landfill-related factors at the

Wilno site (Greenview, 2015). In 2015, most parameter concentrations were above median historical

background groundwater quality (Table 4). Non-conformances of ODWS and significant groundwater trends

at groundwater monitoring location BH7A were as follows (Table 4):

Monitoring Well



BH7A Manganese

TDS

No significant trends


Impacts resultant of landfill-related factors at groundwater monitoring well BH7A are interpreted to be minor,

with the inclusion of 2015 groundwater data at the Wilno site.

Monitoring wells BH3A and BH3B are located approximately 50 m east and downgradient of the

northeastern limit of the waste (Figures 3 and 4). Groundwater samples collected from both monitoring

2015 Annual Report



March 2016 Page 10

wells BH3A and BH3B were noted to exhibit concentrations exceeding median historical background

groundwater quality for some parameters in 2015; however, the shallow monitor BH3B was noted to have

generally lower concentrations in comparison to the deep monitor BH3A (Table 4). Non-conformances of

ODWS and significant groundwater trends at groundwater monitoring locations BH3A and BH3B were as

follows (Table 4):

Monitoring Well



BH3A None No significant

trends Manganese

BH3B None No significant


trends

Overall, groundwater quality at monitoring wells BH3A and BH3B appears to be relatively stable and/or

displays decreasing trends over time. Impacts resultant of landfill-related factors were interpreted to be

minor in 2015.

Monitoring wells BH5A and BH5B are located approximately 50 m north of the northeastern extent of the

limit of waste, on the crest of a small topographical high, and historically have been interpreted to be

partially cross-gradient/upgradient to the direction of groundwater flow at the site (Figures 3 and 4,

Greenview, 2015). Based on groundwater elevations noted in 2015, groundwater flow in the vicinity of

monitoring wells BH5A and BH5B is from the north, west and south, and therefore groundwater quality at

both wells is interpreted to be influenced by the lands upgradient and to the north and west along

Highway 60 in addition to the former landfill located to the southwest (Figures 3 and 4). Concentrations at

both monitoring wells exceeded median historical background groundwater quality for some parameters in

2015, and the shallow monitoring well, BH5B, appears to exhibit generally lower concentrations than the

deep monitoring well BH5A (Table 4). Non-conformances of ODWS and significant groundwater trends at

groundwater monitoring locations BH5A and BH5B were as follows (Table 4):

With the exception of the previously mentioned trends, most parameter concentrations at monitoring wells

BH5A and BH5B appear to be relatively stable over time. Groundwater at monitoring wells BH5A and BH5B

was not interpreted to be significantly impacted by landfill-related factors, and the elevated concentrations

noted were interpreted to be resultant of winter road maintenance activities on Highway 60 and the access

road to the Wilno Waste Transfer Site.

Monitoring well BH8 is located approximately 70 m northeast and downgradient of the northeastern limit of

waste at the Wilno site, and adjacent to the Township’s active aggregate resource area (Figures 3 and 4).

Based on the groundwater flow directions interpreted in 2015, a component of groundwater flow in the

vicinity of BH8 originates from the north and the upgradient areas surrounding Highway 60 (Figures 3

and 4). In 2015, groundwater quality results at BH8 exceeded median historical background concentrations

for some of the parameters in the groundwater monitoring program (Table 4). Non-conformances of ODWS

and significant groundwater trends at groundwater monitoring location BH8 were as follows (Table 4):

Parameter concentrations at monitoring well BH8 were interpreted to be relatively stable over time and were

not interpreted to be impacted by landfill-related factors.

Monitoring well BH4A is located approximately 100 m east-northeast and downgradient of the limit of waste

at the Wilno site, within the Township’s active aggregate resource area (Figures 3 and 4). In 2015, many of

the parameter concentrations exceeded median historical background concentrations at the site (Table 4).

Monitoring well BH4A was not interpreted to be impacted by landfill-related factors in 2015.

Monitoring well BH9 is located approximately 140 m east-northeast and downgradient of the northeastern

extent of the limit of waste, within the Township’s active aggregate resource area, and is the furthest

downgradient monitoring well in the monitoring well network at the Wilno site (Figures 3 and 4). In 2015,

parameter concentrations at monitoring well BH9 exceeded median historical background conditions for

many of the parameters in the groundwater monitoring program. Non-conformances of ODWS and

significant groundwater trends at groundwater monitoring location BH9 were as follows (Table 4):

Monitoring well BH9 is not interpreted to be impacted by landfill-related factors in 2015.

The blind duplicate sample collected at BH9 as part of the August 20, 2015 sampling event was similar to

the identified sample, indicating that the results of the 2015 groundwater monitoring program can be

interpreted with confidence.

4.1.3 Reasonable Use Concept Assessment

In an effort to assess potential landfill-related impacts migrating beyond the site boundary, the MOE’s RUC

was used as an assessment tool to monitor downgradient impacts from the Wilno site. Downgradient

impacts are typically assessed using the MOE RUC at monitoring wells located at, or in close proximity to,

the downgradient property boundary. The downgradient monitoring wells located near the property

boundary were compared to trigger concentrations for specific parameters as determined by groundwater

quality at the site using the MOE’s RUC for groundwater (MOE Procedure B-7-1, 1994a).

2015 Annual Report



March 2016 Page 13

The MOE Procedure B-7-1: Determination of Contaminant Limits and Attenuation Zones iterates that in

accordance with the appropriate criteria for particular uses, a change in groundwater quality on an adjacent

property as a result of landfilling activities, will only be accepted by the MOE 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 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.

MOE Procedure B-7-1

The RUC assessment was conducted using the concepts and procedures outlined in MOE Procedure B-7-1

(MOE, 1994a), specifically using the median value of individual historical background parameter

concentrations from monitoring well BH1, to characterize natural groundwater quality at the site.

Groundwater monitoring wells BH2 and BH9 were used for monitoring downgradient impacts at, or

upgradient from, the current property boundary for assessing site conformance with the MOE RUC.

Similar to historical assessments, all parameters tested as part of the established annual monitoring

program were used as groundwater triggers at BH2 and BH9, and a respective RUC criteria value was

calculated for each parameter at the Wilno site. The trigger concentrations used to assess RUC

conformance for the groundwater regime at the site are based on the MOE RUC for each of the respective

parameters (Table 4).

The RUC values for individual parameters should be generated each year based on analytical results

obtained from the groundwater monitoring program. If RUC exceedances are noted, then action will be

undertaken as appropriate and necessary in accordance with a defined groundwater contingency plan for

the site. In cases where a groundwater contingency plan is not defined, a meeting with representatives of

the district MOE office should be held to develop an appropriate contingency plan, as necessary and

appropriate for the particular site. The following RUC non-conformances were noted at cross-

gradient/upgradient monitoring well BH2 at the northern property boundary in the vicinity of Highway 60 and

at downgradient monitoring well BH9, located furthest downgradient at the site and approximately 100 m

upgradient of the nearest point of the downgradient property boundary (Figures 3 and 4) . RUC non-

conformances for background monitoring well BH1 have been included for comparison purposes.

Monitoring well BH2 is used to assess site compliance with RUC and conformance with MOE Guideline B-7

at the northern property boundary at the Wilno site (Figures 3 and 4). Exceedances of RUC criteria were

noted at monitoring well BH2 for chloride, sodium, and TDS in August 2015 (Table 4). Similar to historical

results (Table 4, Greenview, 2015), the exceedances of RUC for chloride, sodium and TDS at monitoring

well BH2 were attributed to winter road maintenance activities in the vicinity of the site entrance and

Highway 60 (less than 25 m, Figures 3 and 4). Parameter concentrations noted at monitoring well BH2

were not interpreted to be landfill-related due to its cross-gradient/upgradient location, and based on the

results from the 2015 groundwater monitoring program, the Wilno site was interpreted to be in conformance

with MOE Guideline B-7 at the northern property boundary.

Similarly, monitoring well BH9 is used to assess site compliance with RUC and conformance with MOE

Guideline B-7 near the eastern downgradient property boundary at the Wilno site. In 2015, a RUC

exceedance was noted for TDS in groundwater from downgradient monitoring well BH9. The exceedance of

the RUC for the concentration of TDS in groundwater results from BH9 was noted to be only marginally

above the RUC (323 mg/L) and TDS concentrations have been noted to be generally decreasing in

groundwater quality at BH9. Given that monitoring well BH9 is located approximately 100 m upgradient of

the nearest point of the downgradient property boundary at the Wilno site, the slight exceedance of the RUC

for TDS in August 2015 was not interpreted to represent a significant landfill-related impact. Additionally,

aggregate extraction activities in the vicinity of monitoring well BH9 may also be contributing to elevated

TDS concentrations in groundwater east of the closed waste mound at the Wilno Waste Disposal Site.

With the inclusion of the 2015 groundwater quality results, the Wilno site is interpreted to be in conformance

with Guideline B-7 at the eastern property boundary.

4.2 Operations Summary

A summary of 2015 waste management operations at the Wilno site is presented below.

2015 Annual Report



March 2016 Page 15

4.2.1 Site Operations

The Wilno site operates as a transfer station for municipal waste and recyclables, servicing residents of the

entire Township. The site has been closed to landfilling operations since 1997.

A sign is posted at the entrance to the Wilno site that provides hours of operation, permitted users,

applicable Township waste management by-laws, and emergency contact numbers. Other signage posted

at the gate provides notification of the danger and unpredictability of bears, as well as indicating the site is

monitored by video surveillance. The entrance of the site is equipped with a lockable gate controlling

access to the site, and the site is well screened by natural topography and forested lands between

Highway 60 and the site. The operational hours for the Wilno site were amended by the Township effective

March 2, 2015 as follows:

Operational Hours

(Winter and Summer Hours)

Day Hours

Saturday 7:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m.

The site access road, extending south from Highway 60, has sufficient width at the entrance and within the

site to allow for unimpeded winter travel and access for emergency and snow removal equipment. The site

access road was observed to be in serviceable condition during the routine site inspections conducted by

Greenview during site visits in 2015. The site access road is also used by the Township to access the

active aggregate extraction area located immediately adjacent to the Wilno site (Figure 2).

Township waste site operations staff participated in a training seminar held by Greenview on

October 2, 2015 to review waste management best practices and the updated waste management record

sheets for the Township’s waste disposal and transfer sites. Previously, Township operations staff attended

a training seminar held by Redi Recycling Inc. on September 24, 2014.

4.2.2 Waste Disposal / Transfer Summary

The Wilno site is currently closed to active landfilling operations; however, the site is presently operating as

a solid waste and recycling transfer station, with all municipal waste transferred to the Township’s Bark Lake

site for final disposal. All municipal waste received at the Wilno Waste Disposal Site is required to be in

clear bags with an affixed municipal bag tag.

The Wilno site is currently approved in accordance with ECA A413401 (February 24, 2009, Appendix A) to

store up to a maximum of 30 cubic metres (m3) of non-hazardous municipal waste, 40 m3 of Blue Box

2015 Annual Report



March 2016 Page 16

recyclables (commingled containers and mixed fibres), 80 m3 of OCC, 50 m3 of tires, 75 m3 of scrap metal,

and 3.2 m3 of organic waste.

In fall 2014, the Township replaced the 40 cubic yard containers for Blue Box recyclables with 8 cubic yard

tipper bins for Blue Box recycling diversion operations at the Wilno site.

Based on Township of Madawaska Valley records, approximately 2,169 vehicles visited the Wilno site and

5,658 bags of waste were received in 2015 and transferred to the Township of Madawaska Valley’s Bark

Lake site for disposal.

Blue Box recycling tonnage records provided by the Ottawa Valley Waste Recovery Centre indicate that a

total of 37.38 tonnes of Blue Box recyclable material were collected from the Wilno site in 2015. Blue Box

recyclable quantities contributing to this total included 12.08 tonnes of commingled containers, 12.69 tonnes

of mixed fibres, and 12.61 tonnes of old corrugated cardboard. According to Township of Madawaska

Valley records, approximately 24.15 tonnes of scrap metal and white goods were collected from the Wilno

site by local recycling contractors in 2015. In total, 120.76 tonnes of scrap metal and white goods were

collected from all sites in the Township of Madawaska Valley in 2015. Additionally, 23.99 tonnes of waste

electrical and electronics equipment (WEEE) and 269.23 tonnes of household organics were diverted in the

Township in 2015. Per information provided by the Township, no tires were collected at the Wilno site in

2015.

4.2.3 Site Inspections and Maintenance

Site inspections of the waste transfer area and property at the Wilno site were conducted by Greenview on

June 2, 2015 and August 20, 2015 during the spring and summer monitoring events. The Township also

conducted periodic inspections to verify the compliance status of the site.

The site inspections included a cursory investigation of housekeeping/litter control aspects, monitoring well

maintenance requirements in accordance with Ontario Regulation 903 (Wells) as amended, and a general

site overview for MOE regulatory compliance issues. There were no compliance action items requiring

immediate action on the part of the Township observed during the routine site inspections completed in

2015.

4.2.4 Complaints

Based on information provided by the Township, there were no reported complaints received by the

Township with respect to waste management operations at the Wilno site in 2015.

2015 Annual Report



March 2016 Page 17

4.2.5 Final Closure Activities

The Township completed final closure activities in accordance with the Closure Plan (Greenview, 2007), and

the site’s ECA, including the application of final cover over all areas of the former landfilling area at the

Wilno site in September 2011. Following the completion of final closure activities, the transfer station at the

Wilno site was relocated to better facilitate the transfer of Blue Box and bulk recyclables off-site for

processing and/or market (Figure 2). Given the closed status of the waste mound at the Wilno site, a

topographic survey of the closed waste mound and operations area of the site was not completed in 2015.

The Township intends to continue to operate the transfer station at the Wilno site as part of waste

management operations for the Township of Madawaska Valley.

4.2.6 Monitoring and Screening Checklist

In accordance with the MOE TGD (MOE, 2010), the Monitoring and Screening Checklist for the Wilno site is

included as Appendix E of this report.

5.0 Conclusions and Recommendations

Based on the results of the 2015 environmental monitoring program completed for the Wilno site, the

following conclusions are provided:

The direction of groundwater flow within the shallow overburden at the Wilno site, with the inclusion of

2015 groundwater elevations, was interpreted to the east and northeast, in the general direction of

Byer’s Creek east of the site, which is consistent with historical interpretations. Additionally, based on

groundwater elevations noted in 2015, a component of groundwater flow was interpreted to flow to the

south and southeast in the vicinity of monitoring wells BH5A, BH5B, and BH8. Average horizontal

gradients in the vicinity of the waste mound, and to the northeast of the former disposal area, were

calculated to be approximately 0.009 for both areas in June 2015. Similarly, average horizontal

gradients in August 2015 in the vicinity of waste mound, and to the northeast of the former disposal

area, were interpreted to be approximately 0.008 and 0.002, respectively.

Similar to historical results, downward vertical hydraulic gradients of 0.011 and 0.030 were calculated

at monitoring well pair BH5A and BH5B in June and August 2015.

Groundwater quality at monitoring well BH7A, immediately downgradient of the waste mound, was

interpreted to be slightly impacted from landfill-related factors; however, most parameter concentrations

appear to be relatively stable over time. Based on interpreted groundwater flow directions in 2015,

monitoring wells BH2, BH5A, and BH5B, were not interpreted to be impacted from landfill-related

factors at the site; but rather from winter road maintenance activities and aggregate extraction were

interpreted to be evident. Similarly, monitoring well BH8 may also be impacted from upgradient

sources in the vicinity of Highway 60. Monitoring wells BH3A and BH3B were interpreted to have minor

impacts from landfill-related factors. Monitoring well BH9 was not interpreted to be impacted by landfill-

related factors at the site; however, groundwater quality may be impacted from aggregate extraction

activities.

The RUC assessment conducted at the site to the north and east of the site at monitoring wells BH2

and BH9 was interpreted to indicate that the site is in conformance with MOE Guideline B-7 in 2015.

RUC exceedances were noted for concentrations of chloride, sodium, and TDS at BH2, and were

interpreted to be resultant of winter road maintenance activities in the vicinity of Highway 60. Given

that monitoring well BH9 is located approximately 100 m upgradient of the nearest point of the

downgradient property boundary at the Wilno site, the minor exceedance of the RUC for TDS

(323 mg/L) in August 2015 was not interpreted to represent a significant landfill-related impact.

2015 Annual Report



March 2016 Page 19

Based on the 2015 results, the Wilno site was interpreted to be in conformance with MOE Guideline

B-7 at the northern and eastern property boundaries.

Per MOE TSS review comments in 2012, and given noted surface water quality results in 2012 and

2013 and the interpretation that no impacts to the surface water system (Byer’s Creek) east of the site

were occurring, surface water monitoring at the Wilno Waste Disposal Site was discontinued effective

2014.

Based on Township of Madawaska Valley records, approximately 2,169 vehicles visited the Wilno site

and 5,658 bags of waste were received in 2015 and transferred to the Township of Madawaska

Valley’s Bark Lake site for disposal.

Blue Box recycling tonnage records provided by the Ottawa Valley Waste Recovery Centre indicate

that a total of 37.38 tonnes of Blue Box recyclable material were collected from the Wilno site in 2015.

Blue Box recyclable quantities contributing to this total included 12.08 tonnes of commingled

containers, 12.69 tonnes of mixed fibres, and 12.61 tonnes of old corrugated cardboard. According to

Township of Madawaska Valley records, approximately 24.15 tonnes of scrap metal and white goods

were collected from the Wilno site by local recycling contractors in 2015. In total, 120.76 tonnes of

scrap metal and white goods were collected from all sites in the Township of Madawaska Valley in

2015. Additionally, 23.99 tonnes of waste electrical and electronics equipment (WEEE) and

269.23 tonnes of household organics were diverted in the Township in 2015. Per information provided

by the Township, no tires were collected at the Wilno site in 2015.

The following recommendations are provided to the Township for consideration as part of the 2016

environmental work program for the Wilno site:

The groundwater monitoring program at the Wilno Waste Disposal Site should continue in 2016, with a

sampling event in summer 2016, and a groundwater elevation monitoring event in spring 2016.

Given the generally stable nature of noted groundwater quality at the site and since no landfill-related

impacts are interpreted to be occurring at downgradient monitor BH9, the groundwater monitoring

program for the closed Wilno Waste Disposal Site should be considered for reductions in scope. It is

recommended that the environmental monitoring program at the Wilno site be reduced to biannual

sampling and reporting to the MOE (every two years) starting in 2016, with groundwater monitoring

wells BH1, BH3A, BH3B, BH4A, BH7A, and BH9 included in the program for the same parameter suite

identified in Table 1 of this report. Provided the results of the biannual environmental monitoring and

reporting program in 2016, 2018, and 2020 remain generally consistent with the 2015 environmental

monitoring program, then the environmental monitoring and reporting program to the MOE is proposed

2015 Annual Report



March 2016 Page 20

to cease following the 2020 sampling season. Following the proposed cessation of the environmental

monitoring program in 2020, all monitoring wells at the Wilno site would be decommissioned in

accordance with O.Reg. 903 (as amended) in 2021. The reductions in scope proposed are required to

be approved by the MOE, prior to implementation.

Upon retention of Greenview’s services related to this project, the client agrees to remit payment for the services rendered for the specified period within (30) days of receipt as invoiced by Greenview on a typical monthly basis, unless otherwise arranged between the client and Greenview. In the event of non-payment by the client, Greenview reserves the right, without external influence or expense, to discontinue services and retain any documentation, data, reports, or other project information until such time as payment is received by Greenview.

Warranty, Limitations, and Reliance Greenview relies on background and historical information from the client to determine the appropriate scope of services to meet the client’s objectives, in accordance with applicable legislation, guidelines, industry practices, and accepted methodologies.

Greenview provides its services under the specific terms and conditions of a specific proposal (and where necessary formal contract), in accordance with the above requirements and the Limitations Act 2002, only.

The hypotheses, results, conclusions, and recommendations presented in documentation authored by Greenview are founded on the information provided by the client to Greenview in preparation for the work. Facts, conditions, and circumstances discovered by Greenview during the performance of the work requested by the client are assumed by Greenview to be part of preparatory information provided by the client as part of the proposal stage of the project. Greenview assumes that, until notified or discovered otherwise, that the information provided by, or obtained by Greenview from, the client is factual, accurate, and represents a true depiction of the circumstances that exist related to the time of the work.

Greenview relies on its clients to inform Greenview if there are changes to any related information to the work. Greenview does not review, analyze or attempt to verify the accuracy or completeness of the information or materials provided, or circumstances encountered, other than in accordance with applicable accepted industry practice. Greenview will not be responsible for matters arising from incomplete, incorrect or misleading information or from facts or circumstances that are not fully disclosed to or that are concealed from Greenview during the period that services, work, or documentation preparation was performed by Greenview.

Facts, conditions, information and circumstances may vary with time and locations and Greenview’s work is based on a review of such matters as they existed at the particular time and location indicated in its documentation. No assurance is made by Greenview that the facts, conditions, information, circumstances or any underlying assumptions made by Greenview in connection with the work performed will not change after the work is completed and documentation is submitted. If any such changes occur or additional information is obtained, Greenview should be advised and requested to consider if the changes or additional information affect its findings or results.

When preparing documentation, Greenview considers applicable legislation, regulations, governmental guidelines and policies to the extent they are within its knowledge, but Greenview is not qualified to advise with respect to legal matters. The presentation of information regarding applicable legislation, regulations,

governmental guidelines, and policies is for information only and is not intended to and should not be interpreted as constituting a legal opinion concerning the work completed or conditions outlined in a report. All legal matters should be reviewed and considered by an appropriately qualified legal practitioner.

Greenview’s services, work and reports are provided solely for the exclusive use of the client which has retained the services of Greenview and to which its reports are addressed. Greenview is not responsible for the use of its services, work or reports by any other party, or for the reliance on, or for any decision which is made by any party using the services or work performed by or a report prepared by Greenview without Greenview’s express written consent. Any party that uses, relies on, or makes a decision based on services or work performed by Greenview or a report prepared by Greenview without Greenview’s express written consent, does so at its own risk. Except as set out herein, Greenview specifically disclaims any liability or responsibility to any third party for any loss, damage, expense, fine, penalty or other such thing which may arise or result from the use of, reliance on or decision based on any information, recommendation or other matter arising from the services, work or reports provided by Greenview.

Site Assessments A site assessment is created using data and information collected during the investigation of a site and based on conditions encountered at the time and particular locations at which fieldwork is conducted. The information, sample results and data collected represent the conditions only at the specific times at which and at those specific locations from which the information, samples and data were obtained and the information, sample results and data may vary at other locations and times. To the extent that Greenview’s work or report considers any locations or times other than those from which information, sample results and data were specifically received, the work or report is based on a reasonable extrapolation from such information, sample results and data but the actual conditions encountered may vary from those based on extrapolations.

Only conditions, and substances, at the site and locations chosen for study by the client are evaluated; no adjacent or other properties are evaluated unless specifically requested by the client. Any physical or other aspects of the site that were not chosen for study by the client, or any other matter not specifically addressed in a report prepared by Greenview, are beyond the scope of the work performed by Greenview and such matters have not been investigated or addressed.

Confidentiality Greenview provides proposals, reports, assessments, designs, and any other work for the sole party identified as the client or potential client in the case of proposals.

For proposals specifically, the information contained therein is confidential, proprietary information, and shall not be reproduced or disclosed to any other party than to that of the addressee of the original proposal submission, without prior written permission of Greenview.
