1.0 INTRODUCTION Golder Associates Ltd. (Golder) was contracted by Imperial Oil Environmental & Property Solutions (Imperial) to develop a Quality Assurance and Quality Control (QA/QC) Plan for the former Tuktoyaktuk Exploration Logistics Base Camp (Tuk Base or the Site) Remedial Excavation program. The plan consolidates all the QA/QC methods for work being completed at Tuk Base for monitoring events as required by the Inuvialuit Water Board Water Licence N5L8-1841 and for remedial activities on site as detailed in the Remediation Action Plan (Advisian 2019).

Quality assurance/quality control procedures and requirements are an important aspect of any field or laboratory testing program. The objective of the QA/QC program is to standardize methods so that field sampling, data entry, data analysis, and report preparation produce technically sound and scientifically defensible results. This QA/QC plan specifies sampling and analysis requirements for surveillance network program (SNP) as well as for remedial activities proposed on site. This plan forms a part of the overall QA/QC plan for the project.

2.2 Sampling Methods Golder has developed technical procedures for groundwater and surface water sampling which are consistent with the methods prescribed in the current edition of Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater (APHA 2017).

2.2.1 Field Analysis Samples Field analyses will be conducted for pH, turbidity, and total residual chlorine as described in Table B.

Table B: Surveillance Network Program Sample Bottles Summary

Analyte Test Method Notes

pH Handheld pH probe

Field pH for 1841-1 samples must be collected because laboratory hold time for pH is 15 minutes, which is not possible to meet

Turbidity

Field test kit

Turbidity is not required in the Water Licence; however, it will be collected to establish a correlation between turbidity and TSS for 1841-1 to 1841-6 samples. This will allow for real-time TSS monitoring at the Site.

TRC Field test kit Field TRC for 1841-1 samples must be measured because laboratory hold time for TRC is 15 minutes, which is not possible to meet

Notes: TRC = total residual chlorine; TSS = total suspended solids.

Although Total Suspended Solids (TSS) cannot be directly measured in the field, data will be collected to determine the correlation between turbidity and TSS. Establishing this correlation will allow field crews to calculate TSS immediately in the field based on field turbidity measurements, rather than waiting for laboratory results.

2.2.2 Laboratory Analysis Samples Sample bottles and preservatives for all analyses to be conducted at the laboratory will be provided by Taiga Environmental Laboratory (TEL) in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories and Bureau Veritas Canada Inc. (BVC), in Edmonton, Alberta, and are summarized in Table C.

Some samples require addition of a laboratory provided preservative.

2.2.3 Field Data Recording Field data will be recorded on the Field Data Sheet. All sections of the Field Data Sheet must be filled out, and sections that are not applicable must have a ‘strike-through’. Field data sheets must be reviewed by office or QA/QC staff and stored electronically in addition to the original hard copy.

2.2.4 Field Sample Collection Surface water sampling will be conducted at the SNP stations as indicated in the water licence. A new field data sheet will be used for each sample collected, and all sections of the form completed.

The following field tests will be conducted, as applicable:

1) Field pH: tested using a hand-held pH meter, calibrated daily;

2) Turbidity: field test kit, calibrated daily;

3) Total Residual Chlorine: Digital Colorimeter, calibrated daily; and

4) Partway through the day, a calibration check (“bump test”) will be conducted to detect calibration drifts throughout the day.

Following data recording on the field data sheet, a water sample will be collected using the following procedure:

1) Confirm station location;

5) Confirm bottle label contains all relevant information: sample control number, date, time, sampling personnel, analysis to be performed and project name;

6) Using new nitrile gloves, remove sample bottles from plastic bags;

7) For surface samples insert new 1 L or 500 mL routine sample bottle into sampling device (dipper), collect sample water by extending sampling device into water at sample location (rinse and repeat three times), and then decant sample water into target bottles;

8) For treatment cell samples fill new 1 L or 500 mL routine sample bottle (rinse and repeat three times), and then decant sample water into target bottles;

9) Follow laboratory handling instructions regarding preservation of samples;

10) Replace sample bottle cap;

11) Place sample bottle into a cooler with ice packs;

12) Following each sample collection, discard the routine sample bottle used for collecting sample water; and

13) Enter sample details into the chain of custody (COC) form.

Specific sampling requirements for each SNP station are shown in Table D.

2.2.5 QA / QC Sample Collection The following quality control samples will be collected:

1) Duplicate Water Samples:

a) Prepare and label two bottle sets with the location sample control number and appropriate duplicate sample control number;

b) Use stabilized water in sampling device to alternate filling sample bottles in the ‘sample’ and ‘duplicate’ bottle sets. Preserve samples if required; and

c) Store and transport the sample sets together under the same conditions.

d) Submission of blind field duplicate QC samples will be at a minimum rate of 10 percent of total samples.

2) Field Blank Water Samples:

e) Prepare and label two bottle sets with the location sample control number and appropriate blank sample control number;

f) For the location sample, collect sample water using the appropriate/specified method from the desired source, fill one set of sample bottles and preserve if required;

g) For the field blank sample, fill one set of required sample bottles directly at the sampling location using laboratory-supplied de-ionized water and preserve if required; and

h) Store and transport the blank samples together with the corresponding sample location under the same conditions.

3) Trip Blank Samples:

i) Check that the laboratory-prepared blank is sealed and full; keep the bottles sealed throughout the field program;

j) Transport the blank samples into the field with the other sample bottles;

k) Label the blank bottles with the appropriate sample control number; and

l) Store and transport the blank samples together with the corresponding sample location under the same conditions.

m) Trip and field blanks will be submitted for analysis, as necessary, to evaluate the potential for cross-contamination during the sampling and transportation of the samples

2.2.6 Sample Handling All samples will be handled using nitrile gloves and packed into coolers containing ice packs immediately following sample collection. If shipping is occurring the same day, coolers can be prepared for shipping as described in Section 2.3. If shipping is occurring at a later date, store samples in a designated (non-food) fridge until just prior to shipping. If there is no non-food fridge available ice packs will be maintained and replaced as required in sample coolers until samples are shipped.

2.3 Sample Shipping and Tracking 2.3.1 Packaging Samples must be packed into coolers with ice packs to maintain samples as close to 4 degrees Celsius as possible, and packaging material (e.g. bubble wrap) to prevent breakage or leakage. All samples are to be packed upright and each sample stored in a separate sealed plastic bag in the event of leakage of ice in the coolers. Seal coolers closed using packing tape or straps, and securely affix a shipping label on the cooler top indicating the sender, receiver, and number of coolers. Also indicated on the shipping label which cooler contains the COC form (see section 2.3.2).

2.3.2 Chain of Custody Forms The COC form is a critical piece of documentation used to record the sample handling from the source water to the laboratory. Chain of custody documentation will be prepared legibly and accurately including any notes with respect to holding samples for future analysis signed by sampling personnel and shipped with the samples to the receiving laboratory. A current COC form will be provided by TEL and BVC laboratories.

Samples will be driven from Tuk Base to Inuvik Airport. The samples will be shipped to TEL and BVC laboratories via air. The samples will be picked up by Golder staff in Yellowknife (TEL laboratory) and Edmonton (BVL laboratory). A separate COC shall be attached to the cooler to describe the hand-off of the coolers from the field Site, project aircraft transport and ultimately to the analytical laboratories. A custody seal will be applied to the cooler by the shipping personnel on-Site. The custody seal will remain in place on the cooler until pickup by Golder staff at the airport warehouse in Yellowknife/Edmonton. A new custody seal will be applied to the cooler after Golder staff confirm that samples have not been damaged during shipment, and that a sufficient amount of ice is present in the cooler.

2.3.3 Tracking Sample tracking methods will be established as soon as the samples leave the Site. Samples will be handed from the Golder site supervisor to subcontractor for ground transport between Tuktoyaktak and Inuvik followed by air transportation via Canadian North. Golder employees in Yellowknife/Edmonton will pick up the coolers once they arrive and deliver them to the laboratory. Sample shipping will be monitored by Golder personnel in Yellowknife/Edmonton.

2.3.4 Hold Times The laboratory recommends that a set amount of time between sample collection and sample extraction at the laboratory, referred to as the ‘hold time’, is not exceeded or uncertainty in analytical results may be present. It is anticipated that hold times will be met, notwithstanding flight delays or other unavoidable circumstancesA summary of analyses, hold times and comments is shown in Table E.

3.2 Sampling Methods Golder has developed technical procedures for soil sampling which are consistent with the industry standard protocol described in the United States Environment Protection Agency (US EPA), the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) and other regulatory jurisdictions in Canada.

3.2.1 Field Observations Field physical observations will be completed by Golder field technician. Visual observations of soil condition will be recorded on the field data sheet following the Golder IOL Division Soil Classification System.

3.2.2 Field Samples Analysis Field screenings of soil vapour concentration will be completed at all sampling locations. Soil samples will be placed in a resealable plastic bag and organic vapour concentration will be measured using an OVM. An OVM will be calibrated at least daily. The peak headspace vapour concentration results will be recorded on the field data sheet.

3.2.4 Field Data Recording Field data will be recorded on the Field Data Sheet. All sections of the Field Data Sheet must be filled out, and sections that are not applicable must have a ‘strike-through’. Field data sheets must be reviewed by office or QA/QC staff and stored electronically at the end of each day in addition to the original hard copy.

3.2.5 Field Sample Collection The Excavation Sampling Plan (Golder 2019) details confirmatory and background soil samples to be taken as per sampling grid density described in the Abandoned Military Site Remediation Protocol (INAC 2009). Soil samples will be collected as grab samples and will be sealed in laboratory supplied resealable plastic bag, 125 millilitre (mL) glass jars with Teflon-lined lids for analysis of metals and inorganics, respectively; Terracore sampling devices and 40 mL glass vials pre-charged with methanol for analysis of volatiles. The soil samples will be collected using industry standard protocols including decontamination of the sampling shovel with liquinox and water then rinsing with water before each use. Soil samples will be collected by hand using single-use disposable nitrile gloves and placed into new/clean glass sample jars provided by the laboratory. The sampling jars will be clearly labelled and submitted to the laboratory with a completed COC form. With the exception for Terra-Core sample with methanol preservative, there will be sufficient soil within the sample for the analyses and to eliminate headspace, as some parameters require more sample material than others. If soil samples are stored prior to being submitted to the laboratory, they will be stored upright in sealed plastic bags within ice-packed coolers or non-food fridges and submitted to the lab within the appropriate holding time.

Each sampling container will be labelled with the following information:

Sample name;

Sample depth;

Date;

Project number; and

Sampler’s name

The naming convention of samples is designed to follow the identified area of potential environmental concerns (APEC): two capital letters followed by area name. Soil samples will be named accordingly:

June 21, 2019 18105460

16

Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) coordinates will be taken for every sample using handheld Global Positioning System (GPS) units. Coordinates will be tied into previous locations using Real-Time Kinematic Global Positioning System (RTK-GPS) surveying. Coordinates will also be provided from a known geo-referenced stake (i.e., with a tape measure) at each excavation area in the event the GPS unit is not available.

3.2.6 QA / QC Sample Collection The following quality control samples will be collected:

Duplicate Soil Samples:

a. Prepare and label two jar/vial sets with the location sample control number and appropriate duplicate sample control number;

b. Grab discrete sample from the source, homogenized the grab sample, then collect sample for submission via terracore and filling sample jars in the ‘sample’ and ‘duplicate’ sampling sets; and

c. Store and transport the sample sets together under the same conditions.

d. Submission of blind field duplicate QC samples will be at a minimum rate of 10 percent of total samples.

3.2.7 Sample Handling All samples will be handled using nitrile gloves and packed into coolers containing ice packs immediately following sample collection. If shipping is occurring the same day, coolers can be prepared for shipping as described in Section 2.3. If shipping is occurring at a later date, samples will be stored in a designated (non-food) fridge until just prior to shipping. If there is no non-food fridge available ice packs will be maintained and replaced as required in sample coolers until samples are shipped.

‘EX’ stands for excavation will be consistent for every soil sample.

EX A – SW01-01

Each APEC is assigned with letter as per RAP (A – Z).

Numbers will be unique for each sample per remediation area and will begin at 01 for every remediation area.

3.4 Notifications and Reporting Soil data will be included in the remedial excavation report after all field activities are completed.

4.0 ANALYTICAL REQUIREMENTS AND QA/QC In conjunction with the field investigations, a QA/QC program will be implemented to ensure the integrity of the analytical testing results, as follows:

1) Chain of Custody (COC) documentation will be prepared legibly and accurately. Samples will be shipped to TEL or BVS Laboratories. Soil and water samples will be analyzed, based on the historically identified contaminant of concerns identified in the Remedial Action Plan (Advisian 2019) for each excavation, and the SNP Plan, respectively.

2) Confirm that all parameters requested in quote and on COC form were collected and analyzed;

3) The laboratory QA/QC program will include adherence to laboratory sampling and analysis protocols (e.g., temperature, hold times, sample containers, preservatives, detection limits and approved methodology) and the analysis of laboratory method blanks, laboratory control sample (blank spike), laboratory sample duplicates, surrogate recovery and matrix spikes;

4) Once laboratory analytical results are received, a review of field and laboratory quality will be completed. This includes the review of laboratory QC performance to confirm results are within acceptance criteria, as well as evaluation of field duplicate and blank results to confirm they are within alert limits. Exceedances of the QC acceptance or alert criteria will be investigated with the laboratory and, if warranted, a corrective action report will be requested from the laboratory;

a. Ten percent of all samples will be collected in duplicate (i.e., one duplicate sample for every ten samples) during the excavation and SNP program. Two sample sets with the location sample control number and appropriate duplicate sample control number will be prepared and filled from sample material.

b. The laboratory will conduct internal duplicate analysis on samples to assess whether the accuracy and repeatability of the analysis program was within acceptable ranges. The relative percent difference (RPD) between the samples’ results will be used to assess the sample variability. The RPD is a measure of the variability between two outcomes from the same procedure or process and is calculated by the following formula:

RPD% =|S − D|

12 (S + D)

× 100

Where: RPD = relative percent difference

S = sample value

D = blind field duplicate or replicate value.

c. Analytical error increases near the Reportable Detection Limit (RDL), the RPD will only be calculated where the concentrations of both the original and blind field duplicate samples were greater than five times the RDL. The calculated RPDs will then be compared to parameter specific alert limits.

June 21, 2019 18105460

23

d. Exceedances of the QC acceptance or alert criteria will be investigated with the laboratory and, if warranted, a corrective action report will be requested from the laboratory. RPD values greater than the project objectives suggest variability has been introduced through sample collection, sampling handling, or sample analysis.

e. Check for parameters detected in blank samples above five times the detection limit.
