EEXXEECCUUTTIIVVEE SSUUMMMMAARRYY
This report has been prepared to document the results of the 2012 environmental monitoring program for
the Township of Madawaska Valley’s Radcliffe waste transfer site, located on Lot 10, Concession 6,
geographic Township of Radcliffe, in the amalgamated Township of Madawaska Valley. The site is located
approximately two kilometres north of the Village of Combermere, and is accessed by Old Barry’s Bay
Road.
The Radcliffe waste transfer site operates in accordance with Provisional Certificate of Approval A412901,
as amended on May 21, 2009, for the transfer of municipal solid waste generated within the Township of
Madawaska Valley. In 2012, the site consisted of 4.0 hectares of approved landfill area, within
18.97 hectares of licensed site area, following the acquisition of 18.24 ha of land from the Crown for
operational buffer and contaminant attenuation zone purposes on March 11, 2010. The acquisition of land
from the Crown was completed in order to satisfy Condition 23 of the Provisional Certificate of Approval for
the Radcliffe site. The Radcliffe waste transfer site has been closed to waste disposal since 2001, and final
closure activities were completed at the site in 2006. All waste collected at the Radcliffe waste transfer site
is transported to the Township of Madawaska Valley’s Bark Lake waste disposal site for disposal and
transfer.
The direction of groundwater flow within the shallow overburden unit at the Radcliffe site in 2012 is
generally to the northwest, in the general direction of Rockingham (Byer’s) Creek. Average horizontal
gradients were calculated in the vicinity of the waste transfer site in spring 2012 with a reported value of
approximately 0.017, while the average horizontal gradient to the south and west of the waste mound was
calculated to be approximately 0.031. In the fall of 2012, average horizontal gradients in the vicinity of the
waste mound and to the south and west were calculated to be 0.010 and 0.019, respectively. Based on the
groundwater elevation data obtained from monitors MW5-I and MW5-II in the 2012 groundwater monitoring
program, a downward vertical gradient of 0.002 was observed in April 2012. For the September 2012
monitoring event a downward vertical gradient of 0.005 was observed. During the October 2012 sampling
an upward vertical gradient of 0.020 was noted at monitoring wells MW5-I and MW5-II. Similar to historical
reports, groundwater from the shallow overburden unit at the site was interpreted to discharge into
Rockingham (Byer’s) Creek in 2012.
Groundwater quality immediately downgradient of the WTS at monitoring wells MW1, MW2, MW3, MW5-I,
and MW5-II continues to appear to be slightly impacted by landfill-related factors at the site, including site
Based on Ontario Ministry of the Environment Technical Support Section groundwater review comments,

dated November 16, 2012, Ontario Ministry of the Environment Guideline B-7 applies to the site, not
Guideline B-9, and that the site meets the intent of Guideline B-7. In 2012, Reasonable Use Concept
exceedances were noted at monitoring wells MW-I, MW2, MW5-I and MW5-II for select parameters;
however, as groundwater is interpreted to discharge to surface water along Byer’s Creek, and there were
no significant impacts noted in Byer’s Creek interpreted to landfill-related factors, the Radcliffe site is
interpreted to meet the intent of Ontario Ministry of the Environment Guideline B-7.
Surface water quality results obtained in 2012 suggest a few parameters elevated at both downstream
locations (S-4 and S-5) when compared with concentrations observed at the background sampling location
S-3, located upstream of the site on Rockingham (Byer’s) Creek; however, the water quality results from
downstream locations S-4 and S-5 are generally comparable to background location S-3. The surface
water quality from Rockingham (Byer’s) Creek does not appear to be significantly impacted by
the Radcliffe waste transfer site.
Based on Township of Madawaska Valley records, approximately 13,404 bags of residential waste, and
96 half-ton truck loads and 1,920 dumpsters of commercial waste were received at the Radcliffe site in
2012.
Recycling tonnage records provided by Ottawa Valley Waste Recovery Centre indicate that 798.94 tonnes
of recyclable material were collected from curbside collection within the village of Barry’s Bay and from the
three depots within the Township of Madawaska Valley including the Bark Lake waste transfer site,
Radcliffe waste transfer site, and Wilno waste transfer site in 2012. Specific to the Radcliffe site,
75.97 tonnes of recyclable material (exclusive of scrap metal and white goods) were collected in 2012.
Recyclable quantities contributing to this total included 38.61 tonnes of commingled containers and
37.36 tonnes of mixed fibres. Additionally, 299.09 tonnes of source-separated organics were collected,
inclusive of all operating sites and curbside collection in the Township of Madawaska Valley in 2012.
According to Township of Madawaska Valley records, approximately 169.43 tonnes of scrap metal and
24.28 tonnes of white goods were collected from within the Township of Madawaska Valley in 2012 by a
local recycling contractor, including approximately 60.77 tonnes of scrap metal and 9.71 tonnes of white
goods from the Radcliffe site. 169.43 tonnes of scrap metal and white goods and 8.10 tonnes of waste
tires were collected from all sites in the Township of Madawaska Valley in 2012. Additionally, 15.31 tonnes
of waste electrical and electronics equipment were diverted from within the Township of Madawaska Valley
in 2012.

1.1 SITE INFORMATION
The Radcliffe waste transfer station (WTS) operates under Ontario Ministry of the Environment (MOE)
Provisional Certificate of Approval (PC of A) A412901, as most recently amended on May 21, 2009
(Appendix A). The Radcliffe site is located approximately two (2) kilometres (km) north of the Village of
Combermere, and is located on Lot 10, Concession 6, in the geographic Township of Radcliffe, in the
amalgamated Township of Madawaska Valley (Township), in the County of Renfrew (Figure 1). The site is
located on the north side of, and accessed from, Old Barry’s Bay Road. The Universal Transverse Mercator
(UTM) coordinates at the site entrance gate relative to the North American Datum (NAD83) are
295959.0 metres (m) East, 5028068.0 m North, in Zone 18T (Google Earth, 2013).
In order to satisfy Condition 23 of the PC of A, the Township completed the operational buffer and
contaminant attenuation zone (CAZ) land acquisition process (18.24 hectares; ha) from the Crown on
March 11, 2010 (Greenview, 2010). Further to the land acquisition process, the Radcliffe site consisted of
4.0 ha of approved landfill area, within 18.97 ha of total site area, including 2.40 ha of land under a grant of
easement with the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR; Appendix B), 15.84 ha purchased from the Crown,
and 0.73 ha owned by the Township as part of the road allowance for Old Barry’s Bay Road
(Greenview Environmental Management Limited [Greenview], 2011, 2010 and 2009).
The Radcliffe site has also been referred to as the “Combermere waste disposal site”. For the purposes of
clarification, and to maintain consistency with historical Annual Reports (Greenview, 2011) and the amended
PC of A, the site will be referred in this report as the Radcliffe WTS (Appendix A).
The Radcliffe site currently operates as a municipal solid waste and recycling transfer station in accordance
with the site’s PC of A (Appendix A). Closure construction activities, including the relocation of Fill Beyond
Approved Limits (FBAL), were completed at the site in the fall of 2006, as documented in the 2006 Annual
Report (Greenview, 2007).
1.2 BACKGROUND
The Radcliffe site has been closed to waste disposal since 2001 and currently only receives solid,
non-hazardous, residential and commercial waste generated within the Township, for transfer to and
disposal at the Township’s Bark Lake waste disposal site. The Radcliffe site also accepts Blue Box
recyclables, bulk recyclables, and household organics for diversion, transfer, and market.

As part of the November 16, 2007 groundwater review comments from the MOE Technical Support Section
(TSS; November 16, 2007; Greenview, 2008), it was indicated that the Township should acquire sufficient
lands at the Radcliffe site for the waste disposal area, operational buffer, and CAZ, and that the proposed
lands as presented in the 2006 Annual Report (Greenview, 2007), and as identified on Figure 2, would be
sufficient to fulfill these requirements. As part of the land acquisition process, a Crown land survey was
completed by an Ontario Land Surveyor (OLS) on August 21, 2008, with appropriate steps taken following
the survey to formalize the property acquisition process with the Crown as per MNR protocol
(Greenview, 2009). Additionally, it was recommended by the MOE TSS groundwater reviewer that MOE
Guideline B-9 was applicable to the Radcliffe site, and that the Radcliffe site was in conformance with
Guideline B-9 (MOE, 1994c; Greenview, 2008).
On June 8, 2008, Greenview, on behalf of the Township, submitted an application and supporting
information to the MOE to amend the PC of A for the Radcliffe WTS in order to recognize the addition of an
organic waste depot at the site inclusive of specialized organics containers (MOLOK) as part of the site’s
current waste transfer station operations (Greenview, 2009). On May 21, 2009, the MOE issued an
amended PC of A for the Radcliffe site, which recognized the use of MOLOK containers for the onsite
collection and transfer of organic waste, as part of the Township’s organics diversion program (Appendix A).
On January 26, 2010, the Township received documentation from the MNR which confirmed that survey
approval for the lands involved with the Radcliffe site was complete. It was confirmed that the land currently
occupied by the landfill was to be patented (sold) to the Township, and the Township was to be granted
easement over the land adjacent to Rockingham (Byer’s) Creek (Greenview, 2010) The Township
completed the CAZ land acquisition process (18.24 ha) from the Crown on March 11, 2010
(Greenview, 2010).
In accordance with Condition 16 of the PC of A, the Certificate of Requirement was registered on title on
February 24, 2011 (Appendix A).
On April 24, 2012, the Township received approval from the MOE District Manager regarding a request to
amend operational hours at the site, effective May 1, 2012 (Appendix B).
The Township received groundwater review comments of the 2011 Annual Report (Greenview, 2012) from
the MOE Technical Support Section (TSS), dated November 16, 2012 (Appendix B). The MOE groundwater
reviewer noted that the Environmental Compliance Approval (ECA; formerly referred to as PC of A) for the
Radcliffe WTS should be amended to recognize the land and groundwater rights acquired by the Township
in 2010 as operational buffer, and CAZ. Additionally, the review comments detailed that MOE Guideline B-7
2012 Annual Report
Radcliffe Waste Transfer Site (A412901)
Township of Madawaska Valley

applies to the site, not Guideline B-9, and that the site meets the intent of Guideline B-7. Further, the
analysis of volatile organic compounds (VOC) in groundwater samples can be reduced as part of the
groundwater monitoring program to once every five years (next in 2017).
Greenview was retained by the Township to complete the 2012 environmental monitoring and reporting
program for the Radcliffe waste transfer site.
1.3 PURPOSE AND SCOPE
The purpose of this report is to provide an overview of the annual environmental monitoring, environmental
compliance, and operations at the Radcliffe WTS in accordance with Conditions 45 and 46 of the ECA
A412901, including the following:
Groundwater quality and compliance assessment (MOE Guideline B-7; Section 4.1).
Surface water quality assessment (Section 4.1.3).
Site operational overview (Section 4.3).
Conclusions and recommendations for future monitoring at the site (Section 5.0).

The following sections present a summary of the physical characteristics of the Radcliffe waste transfer site.
Locations of features described are referenced to grid north.
2.1 TOPOGRAPHY AND DRAINAGE
Local topography around the Radcliffe WTS is dominated by bedrock hills to the north and south that direct
local overland flow into Rockingham (Byer’s) Creek, which meanders generally to the southwest in the
topographic depression at, and adjacent to, the Radcliffe site (Figure 3). Byer’s Creek is a permanent
surface water system.
The site is situated approximately 100 m to the southeast of Rockingham (Byer’s) Creek and Old Barry’s
Bay Road (Figure 3), and is bound by a poorly drained lowland area to the east and southeast. Surface
water from the lowland area northeast of the site discharges to Rockingham (Byer’s) Creek via a culvert
under Old Barry’s Bay Road at the north end of the site. Surface water sampling location S-2 is located
adjacent to the culvert on the northwest side of Old Barry’s Bay Road (Figure 3).
Background surface water conditions in the vicinity of the site are assessed at surface water sampling
location S-3, which is located approximately 350 m upstream and north of the Radcliffe waste transfer site,
on Rockingham (Byer’s) Creek (Figure 3). Background surface water monitoring location S-3 was
established as part of the 2007 environmental monitoring program at the site, per MOE surface water review
comments dated April 11, 2006 (Greenview, 2008).
Surface water from Rockingham (Byer’s) Creek flows to the southwest before eventually flowing into the
Madawaska River, near the Hamlet of Combermere. The surface water quality of Rockingham (Byer’s)
Creek is monitored downstream of the transfer site at sampling location S-4 (located approximately 500 m
southwest of S-3) and S-5 (located approximately 100 m downstream of S-4 [Figure 3]).
On April 23, 2012, during the site visit, some ponded water was observed at the northeast end of the
Radcliffe site, approximately 20 m north of the limit of waste (Figure 3). The area was noted to be dry during
the September and October sampling events.
2.2 HYDROGEOLOGICAL CONDITIONS
Overburden geology at the Radcliffe WTS is characterized by thick sand and gravel, typically associated
with glaciofluvial deposits, which are common in the Combermere area. Historically, groundwater from the
2012 Annual Report
Radcliffe Waste Transfer Site (A412901)
Township of Madawaska Valley
March 2013 Page 5
shallow overburden unit in the vicinity of the site has been interpreted to discharge into Rockingham (Byer’s)
Creek downgradient of the site (SGS, 2006; Greenview, 2007).
Historically (2006 through 2011), groundwater compliance at the Radcliffe WTS was assessed in
accordance with MOE Procedure B-9-1: Resolution of Groundwater Quality Interference Problems (MOE
Procedure B-9-1; MOE, 1993) based on MOE direction; however, in conjunction with the updated MOE
groundwater review comments, dated November 16, 2012, it was noted that the Radcliffe WTS should be
assessed in accordance with Guideline B-7.
2.3 OPERATIONAL SETTING
With the 18.24 ha acquisition of lands for operational buffer and CAZ purposes (Greenview, 2010), in
accordance with Condition 23 of the ECA, the Radcliffe WTS consists of a licensed landfill area of 4.0 ha
(Appendix A), within a total site area of 18.97 ha in 2012 (Figure 2).
The Radcliffe WTS was formally closed in 2006; however, the site has been closed to landfilling operations
since 2001. The site is currently operating as a waste and recycling transfer station, with all collected waste
being transferred to the Township’s Bark Lake site for final disposal.
As part of waste transfer operations at the site, the Township maintains a site attendant’s office, Blue Box
recycling depot, and designated areas for stockpiled bulk recyclable materials including scrap metal and
white goods, ashes, and waste tires (Figure 2). Additionally, two (2) specialized MOLOK containers were
installed at the Radcliffe site in 2009 for the on-site collection and transfer of organic waste (SSO), following
the issuance of the amended ECA on May 21, 2009 (Appendix A). The collection of SSO at the Radcliffe
site began on June 1, 2009. Municipal waste received at the site is deposited in a mobile compactor truck
for transfer to and disposal at the Bark Lake waste disposal site at the end of each operating day.
The Blue Box recycling depot consists of two (2) thirty-five (35) cubic metre (m3) roll-off bins for the diversion
of commingle containers and mixed fibres, two (2) MOLOK organic containers, and a semi-trailer for storage
of old corrugated cardboard (OCC; Figure 2).

The following sections present a methodology of the environmental monitoring program conducted at the
Radcliffe WTS in 2012.
3.1 GROUNDWATER MONITORING
Groundwater monitoring and sampling activities were conducted by Greenview on April 23, 2012 and
October 26, 2012 from the established network of groundwater monitoring wells onsite as part of the 2012
environmental monitoring program (Table 1 and 2). The UTM coordinates of the groundwater monitoring
wells were collected by Greenview personnel during site visits in 2012 using a handheld geographic
positioning system (GPS) instrument with an anticipated accuracy of within +/- 5 m (Table 2). Additional
monitoring of groundwater elevations was conducted on September 6, 2012 (Appendix C). In accordance
with Condition 25 of the ECA, volatile organic compounds (VOC) sampling was completed at monitoring well
MW5-II on April 23, 2012 and October 26, 2012 as part of the 2012 program (Table 4), while monitoring
wells in close proximity to Rockingham (Byer’s) Creek (MW1, MW2, MW5-I, and MW5-II) were compared to
the Provincial Water Quality Objectives (PWQO) criteria as per MOE TSS recommendations (Table 5).
On April 23, 2012, September 6, 2012 and October 26, 2012, groundwater elevations were measured at
each monitoring well using an electronic water level tape prior to sampling (Table 3). Based on the
groundwater elevation of each well, 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 sample designated for metal analysis 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 duplicate groundwater sample for Quality Assurance and Quality Control (QA/QC) purposes was obtained
from monitoring well MW3 for both the April 23, 2012 and October 26, 2012 sampling events.
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
2012 Annual Report

Township of Madawaska Valley
March 2013 Page 7
sampling records completed during the 2012 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 2012 groundwater monitoring program are presented in Section 4.1.2.
3.2 SURFACE WATER MONITORING
Surface water monitoring and sampling activities were conducted by Greenview on April 23, 2012 and
September 6, 2012 from the established surface water monitoring locations at the site (Table 1). Surface
water sampling locations include the background surface water location S-3, the former background surface
water location S-2, and downstream locations S-4 and S-5 (Figure 3). The UTM coordinates of the surface
monitoring locations were collected by Greenview personnel during site visits in 2012 using a handheld GPS
instrument with an anticipated accuracy of within +/- 5 m (Table 2).
The surface water samples were collected by submerging a dedicated, non-preserved, sample container
into the water body and decanting into preserved sample bottles so as not to displace preservative
chemicals. Consistent with historical results (Greenview, 2011), a sample could not be collected from
location S-2 during the September 6, 2012 monitoring event as it was observed to be dry and no surface
water was present in the vicinity of the sampling location.
A duplicate surface water sample for QA/QC purposes was obtained from surface water sampling location
S-5 for both the April 23, 2012 and September 6, 2012 sampling events (Appendix C).
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, DO, and temperature were recorded at each respective surface
water sampling location immediately following the collection of the surface water samples. Physical
characteristics of each respective surface water location including depth, width, and flow velocity were
recorded at the time of sampling. Field sampling records completed during the 2012 monitoring program
are included in Appendix C. The surface water 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 2012 surface water monitoring program are presented in Section 4.2.

March 2013 Page 8
3.3 ANALYTICAL LABORATORY ACCREDITATION
Collected groundwater and surface water samples were submitted for analysis to the SGS Environmental
Laboratory located in Lakefield, Ontario. SGS is accredited by the Standards Council of Canada (SCC) and
the Canadian Association for Laboratory Accreditation (CALA), for specific environmental testing procedures
listed in the scope of accreditation The SGS Environmental Analytical Laboratory 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 waste mound at
the Radcliffe site is covered with porous soil materials allowing natural gas flux to the atmosphere, and
overburden geology at and adjacent to the site is characterized by sand and gravel materials, overlying a
dense bedrock unit. These overburden and bedrock characteristics, coupled 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 Radcliffe 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. Similar to 2011, and given the closed waste mound status, a topographic survey was
not completed in 2012. Closure construction activities, including the installation of final cover components,
were completed in 2006.
The Township submits annual waste diversion reports to Waste Diversion Ontario (WDO) in accordance
with the WDO Municipal Datacall, inclusive of the Radcliffe site.
The results of operational monitoring are presented in Section 4.3.

The following sections present a summary of the environmental monitoring results obtained for the
Radcliffe WTS during the 2012 environmental monitoring program.
4.1 GROUNDWATER QUALITY ASSESSMENT
The results of the 2012 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 discharge to Rockingham
(Byer’s) Creek, located approximately 100 m northwest of the waste mound (Figure 3). The direction of
groundwater flow within the shallow overburden at the Radcliffe site in both spring and fall of 2012,
consistent with historical interpretations (Greenview, 2012), was interpreted to be to the northwest, towards
Rockingham (Byer’s) Creek (Figures 3 and 4). In the spring of 2012, the average horizontal gradient was
calculated in the vicinity of the Radcliffe site to be approximately 0.017, while the average horizontal
gradient to the south and west of the waste mound was calculated to be approximately 0.031 (Figure 3).
Similarly, in the fall of 2012, the average horizontal gradient in the vicinity of the Radcliffe site was calculated
to be approximately 0.010, while the average horizontal gradient to the south and west of the waste mound
was calculated to be approximately 0.019 (Figure 4).
Based on the groundwater elevation data obtained from monitors MW5-I and MW5-II in the 2012
groundwater monitoring program (Table 3), a downward vertical gradient of 0.002 was observed in April
2012. For the September 2012 monitoring event a downward vertical gradient of 0.005 was observed.
During the October 2012 sampling event an upward vertical gradient of 0.020 was noted at monitoring wells
MW5-I and MW5-II.
4.1.2 GROUNDWATER QUALITY
The results of the 2012 groundwater monitoring program are presented in Table 4 and the accredited
laboratory Certificates of Analysis (SGS) are attached in Appendix D. Analytical data obtained from
respective groundwater wells were compared to the Ontario Drinking Water Standards
(ODWS; MOE, 2006), background water quality at the site, and MOE Guideline B-7 (MOE, 1994b). Given
the close proximity of monitoring wells MW1, MW2, MW5-I, and MW5-II to Rockingham (Byer’s) Creek, the
water quality results from these monitoring wells have also been compared to the PWQO
(MOE, 1994a). Additionally, groundwater quality results were compared with the Canadian Water Quality
2012 Annual Report
Radcliffe Waste Transfer Site (A412901)
Township of Madawaska Valley
March 2013 Page 10
Guidelines (CWQG; Canadian Council of Resource and Environment Ministers [CCREM], 1987) for select
parameters, in accordance with the MOE Technical Guidance Document (TGD; MOE, 2010). Trend
analysis was completed using results from the previous five (5) years.
The background water quality at the Radcliffe site is assessed at monitoring well MW4, which is a shallow
overburden monitor located approximately 150 m south (upgradient) of the waste mound (Figure 3). Given
the upgradient location of monitoring well MW4 in relation to the waste mound, MW4 is interpreted to
represent background conditions in the groundwater regime near the site. ODWS exceedances were
observed for alkalinity (low; April 2012 only), aluminum and field-tested pH (low) in April and October 2012,
and are interpreted to be related to natural groundwater conditions at the site (Table 4). Elevated
concentrations of aluminum, cobalt, iron and manganese have been evident at MW4 since October 2008,
and are interpreted to be resultant of naturally-occurring conditions and site closure activities completed in
late 2006, with aluminum showing an increasing trend following inclusion of 2012 results. With the
exception of the noted elevated parameter concentrations, parameter concentrations at MW4 appear to be
relatively stable over time, and no significant trends were observed (Table 4). Since groundwater is
interpreted to discharge to surface water downgradient of the site adjacent to Rockingham (Byer’s) Creek, it
is important to note that PWQO exceedances were observed at background groundwater monitor MW4 for
aluminum, cobalt, field-tested pH (low) and phosphorus in April and October 2012 (Table 5). No
exceedances of the CWQG were noted for the parameters set out in the MOE TGD (MOE, 2010). The
exceedances of ODWS, PWQO, and historical background groundwater quality at monitoring well MW4 in
2012 are interpreted to be resultant of naturally-occurring conditions in the vicinity of the Radcliffe site.
Groundwater quality immediately downgradient of the Radcliffe WTS is characterized at monitoring wells
MW1, MW2, MW3, MW5-I, and MW5-II, which are all located on the west side of Old Barry’s Bay Road,
upgradient of Rockingham (Byer’s) Creek (Figure 3). Water quality at monitoring wells MW2, MW3, MW5-I
(deep monitor) and MW5-II (shallow monitor), have historically exhibited evidence of impacts from landfill-
related factors (Greenview, 2012). Previous reports have noted that groundwater quality at MW1 may be
impacted from sewage sludge (septage) that was reportedly historically disposed at the south end of the site
(SGS, 2006).
Monitoring well MW1 is located downgradient and approximately 180 m west of the waste mound, and is
used to establish downgradient groundwater quality at the southwestern extent of the monitoring well
network at the site (Figure 3). In 2012, the majority of parameter concentrations at monitoring well MW1
exceeded background concentrations (Table 4). Following inclusion of 2012 results, no ODWS
exceedances were noted for the April and October sampling events (Table 4). Consistent with historical
2012 Annual Report
Radcliffe Waste Transfer Site (A412901)
Township of Madawaska Valley
March 2013 Page 11
results (Greenview, 2012), elevated concentrations of aluminum, cobalt, iron and manganese have been
evident at MW1 since October 2008, and are interpreted to be resultant of naturally-occurring conditions and
FBAL relocation activities completed as part of site closure activities in late 2006. Due to the proximity of
monitoring well MW1 to Rockingham (Byer’s) Creek, groundwater quality was compared with PWQO, and
exceedances of PWQO were observed in April and October 2012 for aluminum, cobalt and phosphorus
(Table 5). No exceedances of the CWQG were noted for the parameters set out in the MOE TGD
(MOE, 2010). Since aluminum, cobalt, and phosphorous were observed to exceed PWQO at background
groundwater monitoring well MW4 in 2012, the exceedances of PWQO for aluminum, cobalt, and
phosphorous, and elevated iron and manganese, are interpreted to be resultant of a combination of
naturally-occurring conditions and FBAL relocation activities completed in late 2006. Furthermore, historical
results at MW1 have noted that groundwater quality has exhibited elevated parameter concentrations
including nitrate and sulphate, which may be attributed to septage that was historically reported to be
discharged near the south end of the site (SGS, 2006); however, results from 2012 for nitrate and sulphate
at MW1 are interpreted to indicate that impacts related to septage disposal have reduced over time
(Table 4). Monitoring well MW1 is located adjacent to Old Barry’s Bay Road, and may be partially impacted
from winter road maintenance activities; however, the presence of historically discharged septage in the
vicinity of MW1 is interpreted to be more significant to the overall groundwater quality. The water quality at
MW1 remains relatively stable in 2012 and consistent with historical assessments; however, elevated
concentrations of phosphorus have been noted for the April and October 2012 sampling events, and are not
consistent with historical results (Table 4).
Monitoring well MW2 is located approximately 90 m northwest of the waste mound, on the west side of Old
Barry’s Bay Road (Figure 3), and is used to assess groundwater quality downgradient and west of the waste
mound. Similar to historical results, monitoring well MW2 was observed to exceed background groundwater
quality for the majority of parameters in 2012, and ODWS exceedances were noted for hardness and
manganese in April and October 2012 and for dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and field-tested pH (low) in
October 2012 only (Table 4). Manganese concentrations have been observed to be generally increasing at
background monitoring well MW4 since October 2008, and are considered to be a combination of naturally-
occurring conditions and FBAL relocation activities completed as part of site closure activities in late 2006;
therefore, excluding naturally-occurring manganese, an ODWS exceedance of manganese at MW2 is not
anticipated (Table 4). The exceedances of the ODWS for hardness in April and October 2012 and for DOC
and field-tested pH (low) in October 2012 at monitoring well MW2 are likely due to FBAL relocation activities
completed as part of site closure activities in late 2006 and landfill-related factors, as neither are apparent in
historical background groundwater quality (Table 4).

Radcliffe Waste Transfer Site (A412901)

Similar to monitoring well MW1, groundwater quality at monitoring well MW2 was compared to PWQO, and
exceedances of PWQO were observed for cobalt and copper in April and October 2012, and for total
chromium and field-tested pH (low) in October 2012 only (Table 4). No exceedances of the CWQG were
noted for the parameters set out in the MOE TGD (MOE, 2010). Exceedances of the PWQO for total
chromium are historically evident at monitoring well MW2; however, concentrations are interpreted to be
generally decreasing over time, and elevated concentrations since 2007 are interpreted to be resultant of
FBAL relocation as part of site closure activities at the Radcliffe site in late 2006 (Table 5). Since cobalt
concentrations at the background monitoring well MW4 were also observed to exceed the PWQO, it is
interpreted that PWQO exceedances of cobalt at MW2 are resultant from a combination of naturally-
occurring conditions and site closure activities at the Radcliffe site. The PWQO exceedances of copper in
April and October 2012 are comparable to some historical sampling events at monitoring well MW2;
however, similar concentrations have not been historically evident at the background monitoring well MW4,
and thus are likely due to landfill-related factors and site closure activities in late 2006 (Table 5).
Exceedances of the ODWS and PWQO at monitoring well MW2 appear to suggest that groundwater quality
in the vicinity of monitoring well MW2 is partially impacted from landfill-related factors (Table 4; Table 5). In
2012, increasing trends were noted for alkalinity, calcium, conductivity, hardness, magnesium, nitrate,
potassium and total dissolved solids (TDS), while a decreasing trend was observed for molybdenum
(Table 4). Factors related to naturally-occurring conditions and FBAL relocation activities completed as part
of site closure activities in late 2006 are interpreted to be partially impacting groundwater quality at MW2.
Monitoring well MW3, which is located on the west side of Old Barry’s Bay Road, downgradient of the north
end of the waste mound (Figure 3), is used to assess downgradient groundwater quality at the
northwestern extent of the monitoring well network at the site. Similar to historical results, many of the
parameters at monitoring well MW3 were elevated above background groundwater quality at the site, and
ODWS exceedances were noted for alkalinity (low), aluminum and DOC in April 2012, and for aluminum,
DOC and pH (low) in October 2012 (Table 4). A decreasing trend was noted for TDS at MW3 in 2012
(Table 4). Water quality results at MW3 appear to indicate that some elevated parameter concentrations
may be due to landfill-related factors; however, with the exception of the previously mentioned decreasing
trend, the results appear to be relatively stable over time.
Water quality results from the nested wells MW5-I (deep), and MW5-II (shallow), located immediately
upgradient of Rockingham (Byer’s) Creek on the west side of Old Barry’s Bay Road, are used to assess
downgradient groundwater quality west of the waste mound, and have historically been interpreted to be
impacted by landfill-related factors from the Radcliffe site (Figure 3). Groundwater sampled from both
monitoring wells MW5-I and MW5-II was observed to be very silty, which may be a significant contributing
2012 Annual Report
Radcliffe Waste Transfer Site (A412901)
Township of Madawaska Valley
March 2013 Page 13
factor to groundwater quality at MW5-I and MW5-II. Similar to historical results, the majority of parameters
were observed to exceed background groundwater quality for both monitoring wells MW5-I and MW5-II.
ODWS exceedances at monitoring well MW5-I were noted for aluminum in April 2012 and for aluminum and
manganese in October 2012 (Table 4). Monitoring well MW5-II was observed to have ODWS exceedances
of DOC, hardness, iron and manganese in April and October 2012 (Table 4). All ODWS exceedances at
monitoring well MW5-II have historically been evident at the Radcliffe site. Similarly, elevated concentrations
of aluminum, iron, and manganese have been observed in previous sampling events at monitoring well
MW5-I (Table 4). Elevated concentrations have been noted for aluminum, cobalt, iron, and manganese for
both monitoring wells MW5-I and MW5-II since October 2008, and are interpreted to be resultant of a
combination of naturally-occurring conditions and FBAL relocation activities completed as part of site closure
activities in late 2006.
Since groundwater near monitoring wells MW5-I and MW5-II is interpreted to discharge to surface water in
the vicinity of Rockingham (Byer’s) Creek, groundwater quality at both wells have historically been
compared to PWQO. At monitoring well MW5-I, PWQO exceedances were observed for aluminum, cobalt
and phosphorus in both April and October 2012 (Table 5). Similarly, at monitoring well MW5-II, PWQO
exceedances were observed for total chromium, cobalt, iron and phosphorous in both April and October
2012 (Table 5). No exceedances of the CWQG were noted for the parameters set out in the MOE TGD
(MOE, 2010). Since iron and phosphorous were observed to be elevated in the background at MW4, and
aluminum, cobalt and phosphorus were noted to be elevated and to exceed PWQO in the background, the
exceedances of ODWS and PWQO for the above-mentioned parameters at monitoring wells MW5-I and
MW5-II are interpreted to be resultant of naturally-occurring conditions at the Radcliffe site and FBAL
relocation activities completed as part of site closure activities in late 2006 (Table 5). Similarly, the
exceedances of the PWQO for total chromium at MW5-II, and aluminum, cobalt and phosphorus in April and
October 2012 at MW5-1 are interpreted to be resultant of FBAL relocation activities completed as part of site
closure activities in late 2006 and landfill-related factors. A decreasing trend was observed at MW5-I for
hardness following inclusion of 2012 results. Similarly, MW5-II was noted to have decreasing trends for
alkalinity, sulphate and TDS in 2012 (Table 4). Comparatively, and consistent with historical results,
monitoring well MW5-I is interpreted to have lower concentrations in groundwater quality compared to
monitoring well MW5-II.
As part of the April and October 2012 sampling events, VOCs were sampled at monitoring well MW5-II with
all parameter concentrations reported below respective ODWS limits (Table 4).
Continued monitoring of all monitoring wells is required to confirm results at the Radcliffe site.

The blind duplicate samples collected at monitoring well MW3 in April and October 2012 were similar to the
identified samples indicating that the results of the 2012 groundwater monitoring program can be interpreted
with confidence.
4.1.3 REASONABLE USE CONCEPT ASSESSMENT
As part of the November 16, 2012 groundwater review comments from the MOE TSS, it was indicated that
as a result of the site closure of Radcliffe WTS in 2001, it was subject to Guideline B-7, which applies to
operating waste disposal sites and sites that closed post 1986.
In an effort to assess potential landfill-related impacts migrating beyond the site boundary, the RUC was
used as an assessment tool to monitor downgradient impacts from the waste disposal 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 leachate quality
at the site using the RUC for groundwater (MOE Procedure B-7-1, 1994b).
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, 1994b), specifically using the median value of individual background parameter concentrations from
monitoring well MW-4 to characterize natural groundwater quality at the site. Groundwater monitoring wells
MW1, MW2, MW5-I and MW5-II were used for monitoring downgradient impacts at the property
boundary west and northwest of the Radcliffe site, and for assessing site compliance with the RUC and
MOE Guideline B-7.
All parameters tested as part of the established annual monitoring program were used as groundwater
2012 Annual Report
Radcliffe Waste Transfer Site (A412901)
Township of Madawaska Valley
March 2013 Page 15
triggers, and a respective RUC criteria value was calculated for each parameter at the Radcliffe waste
transfer site. The trigger concentrations used to assess RUC compliance for the groundwater regime at the
site are based on the MOE RUC for each of the respective parameters.
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.
Monitoring well MW-1 is located downgradient and approximately 180 m west of the waste mound, and is
used to assess compliance with the RUC adjacent to the western property boundary (Figure 2). Following
the inclusion of 2012 data, aluminum and hardness were noted to exceed the RUC in April 2012 (Table 4).
In October 2012, RUC exceedances were noted for aluminum, hardness and nitrate (Table 4). Since
aluminum concentrations were observed to exceed the RUC at background monitoring well MW-4, the
elevated aluminum at MW-1 is likely the result of both naturally occurring conditions at the site and FBAL
relocation activities completed in fall of 2006. The RUC exceedance for hardness is interpreted to be
resultant of FBAL relocation activities and landfill-related factors. The RUC exceedance for nitrate is
interpreted to be resultant of historical septage spreading activities in the vicinity of monitor MW-1.
Monitoring well MW2 is located approximately 90 m northwest of the waste mound, on the west side of Old
Barry’s Bay Road, and is used to assess compliance with the RUC adjacent to the northwestern property
boundary (Figure 2). Following inclusion of 2012 data, DOC, hardness, manganese and TDS
concentrations were noted to exceed the RUC for both the April and October 2012 monitoring events, while
field-tested pH (low) exceeded the RUC in October 2012 only (Table 4). RUC exceedances observed for
the 2012 monitoring events are interpreted to be resultant of FBAL relocation activities completed as part of
site closure activities in late 2006 and landfill-related factors. As approximately 90 m of CAZ lands exist
between MW2 and the downgradient CAZ boundary, the noted RUC exceedances are not interpreted to
significantly impact surface water quality in Byer’s Creek.
Water quality results from the nested wells MW5-I (deep), and MW5-II (shallow), located immediately
upgradient of Rockingham (Byer’s) Creek on the west side of Old Barry’s Bay Road, are used to assess
downgradient groundwater quality west of the waste mound, and have historically been interpreted to be
impacted by landfill-related factors from the Radcliffe site (Figure 3). Monitoring well MW5-I was noted to
have RUC exceedances for concentrations of aluminum, hardness and manganese for both the April and
2012 Annual Report
Radcliffe Waste Transfer Site (A412901)
Township of Madawaska Valley
March 2013 Page 16
October sampling events (Table 4). Aluminum concentrations at MW5-1 are slightly elevated compared to
concentrations found at background monitoring well MW-4. Monitoring well MW5-I is interpreted to be
partially impacted by landfill-related factors as well as factors related to FBAL relocation activities completed
in late 2006.
Following inclusion of 2012 results, monitoring well MW5-II was noted to have RUC exceedances for
concentrations of DOC, hardness, iron, manganese and TDS in April and October 2012, and for alkalinity in
April 2012 only. MW5-II is interpreted to be impacted by FBAL relocation activities completed as part of site
closure activities in late 2006 and landfill-related factors.
As a result of the FBAL relocation activities completed in late 2006, a large quantity of waste and several
areas of the site were exposed to physical disturbance, concurrent with final closure activities. It was noted
for both the April and October sampling events that the groundwater sampled at MW5-I and MW5-II was
observed to be very silty, which may have impacted the observed groundwater quality results. As such, the
elevated alkalinity, DOC, hardness, manganese, iron and TDS concentrations at downgradient monitoring
wells, MW5-I and MW5-II (or applicable), are attributable to physical disturbance from the nearby FBAL
relocation and landfill-related factors. Following inclusion of 2012 data, it was noted that hardness
concentrations at monitoring well MW5-I are decreasing. Additionally decreasing trends have been noted at
MW5-II for alkalinity, sulphate and TDS. It is expected that concentrations of alkalinity, hardness, sulphate
and TDS, as well as other elevated parameters, will decrease over time.
As impacts to overall surface water quality in Byer’s Creek at downstream locations S-4 and S-5 are not
apparent (Table 6), considering the noted RUC exceedances at monitors MW-I, MW2, MW5-I and MW5-II,
the Radcliffe site is interpreted to meet the intent of RUC and MOE Guideline B-7, in 2012. Continued
monitoring in 2013 is required to confirm results and trends noted in 2012.
4.2 SURFACE WATER QUALITY ASSESSMENT
As part of the April 23, 2012 and September 6, 2012 surface water sampling events, physical characteristics
of sampling locations S-2 (April 2012 only), S-3, S-4, and S-5, were recorded (Appendix C). In April 2012,
surface water location S-2 was 0.20 m deep, 2 m wide, with observed velocity and discharge values of
approximately 0.33 metres per second (m/s) and 0.107 cubic metres per second (m3/s), respectively.
Surface water location S-3 was 0.30 m deep, 20 m wide, with observed velocity and discharge values of
approximately 0.25 m/s and 1.2 m3/s, respectively (Appendix C). Surface water location S-4 was 0.45 m
deep, 10 m wide, with observed velocity and discharge values of approximately 0.20 m/s and 0.07 m3/s,
2012 Annual Report
Radcliffe Waste Transfer Site (A412901)
Township of Madawaska Valley
March 2013 Page 17
respectively (Appendix C). Surface water location S-5 was 0.35 m deep, 9 m wide, with observed velocity
and discharge values of approximately 0.18 m/s and 0.5 m3/s, respectively (Appendix C).
For the September 2012 sampling event, surface water sampling location S-2 was observed to be dry.
Surface water location S-3 was 0.70 m deep, 15 m wide, with observed velocity and discharge values of
approximately 0.04 m/s and 0.3 m3/s, respectively (Appendix C). Surface water location S-4 was 0.75 m
deep, 6 m wide, with observed velocity and discharge values of approximately 0.10 m/s and 0.4 m3/s,
respectively (Appendix C). Surface water location S-5 was 0.30 m deep, 7 m wide, with observed velocity
and discharge values of approximately 0.07 m/s and 0.1 m3/s, respectively (Appendix C).
Surface water quality results for the Radcliffe site were compared with the PWQO (MOE, 1994a).
Additionally, surface water quality results were compared with the CWQG (CCREM, 1987) for select
parameters, in accordance with the MOE TGD (MOE, 2010). The results of the 2012 surface water
monitoring program are presented in Table 6. Accredited laboratory Certificates of Analysis for the surface
water quality results are provided in Appendix D.
Background surface water location S-3 was established in 2007 to replace the former background surface
water location S-2, following MOE TSS surface water review comments in 2006 (Greenview, 2007). S-3 is
located approximately 350 m upstream and north of the Radcliffe site on Rockingham (Byer’s) Creek
(Figure 3). Surface water location S-3 was sampled in both April and September 2012, and PWQO
exceedances for aluminum and phenols were observed in April 2012 and for phenols in September 2012
(Table 6). The exceedances of the PWQO for aluminum in April 2012 and for phenols in April and
September 2012 at S-3 are interpreted to be resultant of naturally-occurring conditions upstream of the
Radcliffe site. The concentration of phenols did not exceed the CWQG for either the April or September
sampling events in 2012 (CCREM, 1987). There were no trends noted following the inclusion of 2012
surface water quality data for location S-3. The majority of parameters appear to be stable since the
introduction of S-3 as the background surface location in spring 2007, and the water quality results from S-3
in 2012 are interpreted to be representative of background surface water quality at the Radcliffe waste
transfer site.
Surface water location S-2 is located north of the site (Figure 3), on a small drainage channel running along
and under Old Barry’s Bay Road through a culvert, with eventual discharge into Rockingham (Byer’s) Creek.
Some parameter concentrations at location S-2 were observed to be higher than background at S-3 in the
2012 surface water monitoring program; however, many parameter concentrations were also observed to be
less than concentrations observed at the upstream background location S-3, indicating that the source
waters for S-2 may be different than those for the surface water locations along Rockingham (Byer’s) Creek
2012 Annual Report
Radcliffe Waste Transfer Site (A412901)
Township of Madawaska Valley
March 2013 Page 18
(Figure 3; Table 6). Surface water location S-2 was sampled in the April 2012 sampling event only, as the
location was observed to be dry in September 2012. PWQO exceedances were noted for aluminum, total
chromium and phenols in April 2012, however aluminum and phenols were also present at background
monitoring well S-3 (Table 6). The concentration of phenols did not exceed the CWQG for the April
sampling event in 2012 (CCREM, 1987). Following inclusion of 2012 results, a decreasing trend for
manganese was observed at S-2 (Table 6). Since surface water at S-2 is observed to originate northeast of
the site from a low-lying area, and the source of the surface water is interpreted to be predominantly snow
melt and rain water, PWQO exceedances of aluminum and phenols are interpreted to be resultant from
natural lowland conditions northeast of the site. The total chromium concentration observed in April 2012 is
interpreted to be anomalous, as similar concentrations have not been observed in historical sampling
events. Further sampling is required to confirm results.
Rockingham (Byer’s) Creek, located approximately 100 m downgradient from the site, is sampled at the
downstream surface water locations S-4 and S-5 (Figure 3). Both surface water locations S-4 and S-5
exceeded background surface water quality for some parameter concentrations in the 2012 surface water
monitoring program; however, in many cases parameter concentrations at S-4 and S-5 were less than
concentrations observed at the background location S-3 (Table 6). Overall, surface water quality at S-4 and
S-5 is comparable to the background surface water quality at S-3 in 2012 (Table 6). No obvious trends were
noted at S-4 and S-5 with the inclusion of 2012 surface water quality data, and water quality at both
locations appears to be stable. Phenols were observed to exceed the PWQO at S-4 and S-5 in
April and September 2012 (Table 6). Concentrations of phenols at S-4 were equal to the CWQG and S-5
was noted to exceed the CWQG for the September 2012 sampling event only (CCREM, 1987). As
upstream (background) concentrations of phenols (S-3) are generally comparable to downstream (S-4 and
S-5) concentrations, and are attributed to organic decay in Byer’s Creek, the noted exceedances of the
PWQO and CWQG for phenols are not interpreted to represent landfill-related impact. Continued
monitoring is required to confirm surface water quality at S-4 and S-5 in 2012.
Historically, reported results indicate that groundwater impacted from the waste mound may be discharging
to Rockingham (Byer’s) Creek (SGS, 2006), given groundwater elevations in close proximity to the creek. In
2012, an interpretation of the groundwater configuration at the site supports that groundwater discharges to
Rockingham (Byer’s) Creek; however, based on the downstream surface water quality results in 2012,
Rockingham (Byer’s) Creek does not appear to be impacted from landfill-related factors.
Further to Condition 46 (f) of the ECA, the contaminating lifespan of the site, based on the monitoring
programs to date, is estimated to be not more than twenty-five (25) years from the time of site closure.

The blind duplicate samples collected at S-3 in April and September 2012 were similar to each of the
identified samples, indicating that the results of the 2012 surface water monitoring program can be
interpreted with confidence.
4.3 OPERATIONS SUMMARY
A summary of 2012 waste transfer operations at the Radcliffe WTS is presented below.
4.3.1 SITE OPERATIONS
The site operates as a domestic waste and recyclable transfer station, servicing residents of the Township

Most of the Radcliffe WTS is well screened with surrounding trees and thick vegetation, and a screening
berm vegetated with small trees and grass exists between the site and Old Barry’s Bay Road. Lockable
gates control access to both the north and south entrance roads at the site (Figure 2), and a page wire fence
was installed along the northern boundary of the site in 2007.
The access roads at the site entrance and within the Radcliffe site have sufficient width to allow for
umimpeded winter travel and access for emergency and snow removal equipment. The site access road
was observed to be in satisfactory condition during the routine site inspections conducted by Greenview
during various site visits throughout 2012.
4.3.2 WASTE DISPOSAL / TRANSFER SUMMARY
The Radcliffe WTS is currently closed to all landfilling operations; however, the site operates as a solid
waste and recycling transfer station, with all collected waste transferred to the Township’s Bark Lake waste
disposal site for final disposal.
The Radcliffe site is currently approved in accordance with ECA A412901 to receive up to 60 m3 of
non-recyclable, municipal waste per day, and to store up to 60 m3 of Blue Box recyclables, 8 m3 of tires,
10 m3 of scrap metal and white goods, 10 m3 of wood ash, 3.2 m3 of organic waste, and 20 m3 of
non-recyclable, municipal waste (Appendix A).
Based on Township of Madawaska Valley records, approximately 13,404 bags of residential waste, and
96 half-ton truck loads and 1,920 dumpsters of commercial waste were received at the Radcliffe site in
2012.
Recycling tonnage records provided by Ottawa Valley Waste Recovery Centre (OVWRC) indicate that

798.94 tonnes of recyclable material were collected from curbside collection within the village of Barry’s Bay
and from the three (3) depots within the Township including the Bark Lake waste transfer site, Radcliffe
waste transfer site, and Wilno waste transfer site in 2012. Recyclable quantities contributing to this total
included 164.56 tonnes of containers (tin/aluminum/plastic/mixed glass), 211.19 tonnes of fibres, and
124.10 tonnes of OCC. Specific to the Radcliffe site, 75.97 tonnes of recyclable material (exclusive of scrap
metal and white goods) were collected from the Radcliffe site in 2012. Recyclable quantities contributing to
this total included 38.61 tonnes of commingle containers and 37.36 tonnes of mixed fibres. Additionally,
299.09 tonnes of SSO were collected, inclusive of all operating sites and curbside collection, in the
Township in 2012. According to Township records, approximately 169.43 tonnes of scrap metal and 24.28
tonnes of white goods were collected from within the Township by a local recycling contractor, including
approximately 60.77 tonnes of scrap metal and 9.71 tonnes of white goods from the Radcliffe site in 2012.
169.43 tonnes of scrap metal and white goods and 8.10 tonnes of waste tires were collected from all sites in
the Township in 2012. Additionally, 15.31 tonnes of waste electrical and electronics equipment (WEEE)
were diverted from within the Township in 2012.
4.3.3 SITE INSPECTIONS AND MAINTENANCE
Site inspections of the Radcliffe site were conducted by Greenview on April 23, 2012, September 6, 2012
and October 26, 2012 during the environmental 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 regulations and protocol compliance contraventions. There were no compliance
action items requiring immediate action on the part of the Township observed during the routine site
inspections completed in 2012. All monitoring wells at the Radcliffe site were observed to be in good
condition and in compliance with Ontario Regulation 903 (O. Reg. 903), as amended, in 2012.

Based on the results of the 2012 environmental monitoring program completed for the Radcliffe waste
transfer site, the following conclusions are provided:
The primary direction of groundwater flow within the shallow overburden at the Radcliffe site in 2012 is
consistent with historical interpretations, as the predominant groundwater flow direction was interpreted
to be to the northwest, towards Rockingham (Byer’s) Creek. The average horizontal gradient was
calculated in the vicinity of the WTS in the spring of 2012 to be approximately 0.017, while the average
horizontal gradient to the south and west of the waste mound was calculated to be approximately
0.031. The average horizontal gradient in the fall of 2012 was calculated to be approximately 0.010 in
the vicinity of the WTS, while the average horizontal gradient to the south and west of the waste mound
was calculated to be approximately 0.019. Based on the groundwater elevation data obtained in the
2012 groundwater monitoring program, a downward vertical gradient of 0.002 was observed in April
2012, a downward vertical gradient of 0.005 was observed in September 2012, and an upward vertical
gradient of 0.020 was noted in October 2012 at monitoring wells MW5-I and MW5-II. Similar to
historical reports, groundwater from the shallow overburden unit in the vicinity of the waste mound is
interpreted to discharge into Rockingham (Byer’s) Creek, downgradient of the site.
Groundwater quality immediately downgradient of the WTS at monitoring wells MW1, MW2, MW3,
MW5-I, and MW5-II continues to appear to be slightly impacted by landfill-related factors at the site. In
2012, monitoring well MW5-II appeared most impacted as samples collected from this well exhibited
the majority of parameters elevated above background concentrations and exhibited higher
concentrations than other monitoring wells at the site. However, it should also be noted that many
elevated parameter concentrations were apparent in background conditions at monitoring well MW4,
and are interpreted to be naturally-occurring at the site (Table 4). Site closure activities in late 2006 are
interpreted to have impacted local groundwater quality since 2008. Continued monitoring is required to
confirm groundwater quality results at the site.
Surface water quality results obtained in 2012 indicate that a few parameters were elevated above
background concentrations at both downstream locations (S-4 and S-5); however, surface water quality
at downstream surface water locations S-4 and S-5 is interpreted to be generally consistent, and in
many cases had lower concentrations, than background surface water location S-3. Phenols were
observed to exceed the PWQO at downstream locations S-4 and S-5 in April and September 2012, as
well as upstream (background) location S-3 (Table 6). Concentrations of phenols at S-4 were equal to
2012 Annual Report
Radcliffe Waste Transfer Site (A412901)
Township of Madawaska Valley
March 2013 Page 24
the CWQG and S-5 was noted to exceed the CWQG for the September 2012 sampling event. PWQO
and CWQG exceedances of phenols are not interpreted to represent a significant impact from landfill-
related factors at the site within Rockingham (Byer’s) Creek, as similar concentrations were observed
in the background (S-3).
RUC exceedances were noted at monitoring wells MW-I, MW2, MW5-I and MW5-II for select
parameters in 2012. As groundwater is interpreted to discharge to surface water along Byer’s Creek, a
detailed review was completed to assess potential impacts of groundwater to the creek. Based on
downstream surface quality results at locations S-4 and S-5, there were no significant impacts noted in
Byer’s Creek interpreted to landfill-related factors. Therefore, the Radcliffe site is interpreted to meet
the intent of MOE Guideline B-7.
Based on Township records, approximately 13,404 bags of residential waste, and 96 half-ton truck
loads and 1,920 dumpsters of commercial waste were received at the Radcliffe site in 2012.
Recycling tonnage records provided by OVWRC indicate that a 75.97 tonnes of recyclable material
(exclusive of scrap metal and white goods) were collected from the Radcliffe site in 2012. Recyclable
quantities contributing to this total included 38.61 tonnes of commingle containers and 37.36 tonnes of
mixed fibres. Additionally, 299.09 tonnes of SSO were collected, inclusive of all operating sites and
curbside collection, in the Township in 2012. According to Township records, approximately 169.43
tonnes of scrap metal and 24.28 tonnes of white goods were collected from within the Township by a
local recycling contractor, including approximately 60.77 tonnes of scrap metal and 9.71 tonnes of
white goods from the Radcliffe site in 2012. 169.43 tonnes of scrap metal and white goods and 8.10
tonnes of waste tires were collected from all sites in the Township in 2012.
The following recommendations are provided to the Township for consideration as part of the 2013
environmental work program for the Radcliffe waste transfer site:
The 2013 groundwater monitoring program for the site should continue as in 2012 including
groundwater sampling events in the spring and fall at monitoring wells MW1, MW2, MW3, MW4,
MW5-I, and MW5-II to continue to monitor the groundwater regime at the site. Water quality results
from monitoring wells MW1, MW2, MW3, MW4, MW5-I, and MW5-II in the groundwater monitoring
program should continue to be assessed in accordance with the ODWS and monitoring wells MW1,
MW2, MW5-I, and MW5-II should continue to be assessed in accordance with the PWQO criteria in
2013. Additionally, groundwater quality results should be compared with the CWQG for select
parameters, in accordance with the MOE TGD.
2012 Annual Report
Radcliffe Waste Transfer Site (A412901)
Township of Madawaska Valley
March 2013 Page 25
In 2013, the surface water monitoring program at the site should continue to include sampling events
twice annually in the spring and late summer. Surface water samples should be collected from S-2,
S-3, S-4, and S-5, to continue to monitor the surface water regime at the site. The surface water
samples should be analyzed for the same parameter suite as the 2012 monitoring program. Collection
of surface water samples during scheduled sample events should be conducted only if sufficient
quantities of water are available at the sampling location to avoid potentially biased results.
In 2013, the Radcliffe waste transfer site should be assessed using the RUC and Guideline B-7, in
addition to the PWQO, as groundwater is interpreted to be discharging to surface water along Byer’s
Creek. Detailed review of water quality at downstream surface water locations, S-4 and S-5, should be
conducted to determine landfill related impacts within Byer’s Creek (if any), with due consideration of
background surface water quality at location S-3.
Further to MOE groundwater review comments of the 2011 Annual Report, dated November 16, 2012
the Township intends to submit an application to amend the ECA for the site in 2013, to recognize
operational buffer, and CAZ acquired by the Township in 2010.

M E M O R A N D U M 16 November 2012 TO: E. Tieu Sr. Environmental Officer Ottawa District Office Eastern Region FROM: F. Crossley Hydrogeologist Technical Support Section Eastern Region RE: 2011 Annual Report Radcliffe Waste Disposal Site (Combermere) Lot 10, Concession VI, Geographic Region of Radcliffe Township of Madawaska Valley A412901 Purpose I reviewed the “2011 Annual Report – Radcliffe Waste Disposal Site” dated March, 2012 (received June, 2012) by Greenview Environmental Management (GEM) for the purpose of determining conformance with Guideline B-7. Summary - The Radcliffe (Combermere) waste disposal site closed in 2001. Guideline B-7 applies to
operating waste disposal sites and sites that closed post 1986. Thus Guideline B-7 applies to the Radcliffe (Combermere) waste disposal site.
- The Municipality purchased the “crown” land (4.0 hectares) on which the landfill is
situated and acquired the “groundwater rights” on adjacent “crown lands” (18.24 hectares). With the inclusion of these lands as landfill and buffer and contaminant attenuation zone, the Radcliffe (Combermere) waste disposal site will meet the intent of Guideline B-7 (groundwater discharging to surface water). The Municipality should make an amendment to their Certificate of Approval to recognize these additional lands as buffer zone and contaminant attenuation zone.
- The hydrogeological conceptual model is migration of leachate to the west in the shallow
overburden unit and discharging to Rockingham Creek.
- 2 - - The extent, both horizontal and vertical, of the leachate impacts have been determined.
The creek provides a hydraulic boundary for the migration of leachate. - The potential exists for leachate impacts to occur to Rockingham Creek especially in the
vicinity of MW5 and SW4. The consultants should evaluate potential impacts to the surface water receptor based on comparing the impacts at MW5 to the Provincial Water Quality Objectives.
- The final cover has been applied and consists of a permeable material. This type of
cover, permeable, was acceptable from a hydrogeological viewpoint as it will allow infiltration to enter the cap, thus increasing leachate generation which in turn decreases the contaminating life span. If the surface water impacts are unacceptable, the contingency plan is to install a low permeable cover over top to reduce infiltration which in turn will reduce leachate generation.
- The proposed groundwater monitoring program is acceptable. The volatile organic
compound sampling can be reduced to once every five years as the volatile organic compound concentrations are non detect or low level (below Drinking Water Standards).
- The site is neither vented nor monitored for landfill gas. Typically this is required at a
closed site with a final cover. Since the site has a permeable cover, the surrounding native soils are permeable and relatively isolated, neither venting nor monitoring is required.
- The volatile organic compound sampling can be reduced to once every five years as the
volatile organic compound concentrations are non detect or low level (below Drinking Water Standards).
Certificate of Approval The Radcliffe (Combermere) waste disposal site operates under Certificate of Approval, A412901. The site is located in Lot 10, Concession VI, Geographic Region of Radcliffe, Township of Madawaska Valley. The site was licenced for the use and operation of a 4.0 hectare landfill. The land is “crown lands” of which the Township has a Land Use Permit. The site was licenced to receive domestic and 5% non hazardous solid (limited to brush) waste. The landfill method was “area fill”. The landfill operates as a naturally attenuating site. The site closed to landfilling activities and currently operates as a waste and recycling transfer site. Condition 23 in the Certificate of Approval requires the Owner to obtain additional lands for the purpose of buffer zone and contaminant attenuation zone. Various deadlines (amendments) were made. GEM state that the municipality purchased the “crown lands” on which the landfill is situated (4.0 hectares). In addition, GEM state that the municipality acquired the “groundwater rights” (18.24 hectares). These acquisitions were reportedly completed in 2010.
- 3 - Geology The consultants determined the geology to be: - The waste site is located in a shallow valley surrounded to the north and south by bedrock
hills. - The valley consists of sand and gravel. - The bedrock is Precambrian. - The monitoring wells are completed in the shallow sand and gravel to a maximum depth
of 8.2 metres (bedrock was not encountered). Hydrogeology The consultants determined the physical hydrogeological characteristics to be: - The estimated hydraulic conductivity in the sand and gravel unit ranges from 4 x 10-4 to 4
x 10-2 cm/sec. - The horizontal hydraulic gradient is 0.014 (spring) and 0.040 (fall). - The shallow groundwater flow is to the west towards Rockingham Creek (Figure 3). - The multi-level monitoring well (MW5) located in proximity to Rockingham Creek
shows upward vertical gradients (0.002). - The hydrogeological conceptual model is leachate migration in the shallow overburden
unit to the west and discharging to Rockingham Creek. Background Monitoring well MW4 is located hydraulically upgradient of the waste. The water quality in MW4 is representative of background water quality. Leachate There is no monitoring well located in or in proximity to the waste to provide a leachate characterization. Typical leachate indicator parameters are used to determine leachate impacts based on comparison of the background water quality to the downgradient water quality.
- 4 - Downgradient Water Quality The following monitoring wells show leachate impacts during 2011: MW2 and MW5 (II). Monitoring well MW5 is a multi-level monitoring well. Leachate impacts are evident in the shallow monitoring well (MW5-11) but not in the deeper monitoring well (MW5-1). MW5-11 shows the greatest leachate impacts and these impacts are primarily related to ammonia, DOC, iron, manganese and potassium. MW1 shows elevated nitrate concentrations (0.79 to 9.09 mg/L). The consultants attribute this to the disposal of septage in this area. The nitrate concentrations have shown an overall decreasing trend. GEM report that volatile organic compound monitoring was undertaken at MW5-11 in the spring and fall of 2011 and that the results are summarized in Table 3 in the report. The volatile organic compound sampling results show non detect or low level concentrations (below Drinking Water Standards) of volatile organic compounds in MW5-11. Groundwater/Surface Water Interaction The hydrogeological conceptual model is leachate migration to the west in the shallow overburden unit and discharging to Rockingham Creek. MW5 is located in the leachate flow path and in proximity to the creek. The water quality in this monitoring well is representative of the leachate impacted groundwater discharging to the creek. The water quality in this monitoring well should be also be compared to the Provincial Water Quality Objectives (Table 4 in the report). Regulatory Evaluation Previously it was indicated that Guideline B-7 applies to operating waste disposal sites and Guidleine B-9 applies to closed waste disposal sites. Recently there has been a change in the use of these guidelines to provide a consistent approach Province wide. Guidleine B-7 applies to operating waste disposal sites and sites that closed post 1986. Therefore Guideline B-7 does apply to the Radcliffe (Combermere) waste disposal site. The municipality acquired the “groundwater rights” on the adjacent “crown lands” for the purpose of buffer zone and contaminant attenuation zone. The flow path of the leachate is within the contaminant attenuation zone. These lands abut onto a portion of Rockingham Creek. Rockingham Creek is the suspected discharge point. Therefore the Radcliffe (Combermere) waste disposal site meets the intent of Guideline B-7. This site should be evaluated based on the Provincial Water Quality Objectives as the shallow groundwater flow is discharging to the surface water receptor, Rockingham Creek. The consultants should continue to compare the results of MW5 to the Provincial Water Quality Objectives.
- 5 - Final Cover GEM state that the final cover consists of: - Sandy soil granular material of medium permeability and installed to a minimum
thickness of 0.6 metres. - Top soil cover to a minimum thickness of 0.15 metres. - Vegetative cover – seeded with grasses. This final cover meets the minimum requirements outlined in Regulation 232/98. This type of cover, permeable (sands), will allow infiltration which in turn will increase leachate generation however it will reduce the contaminating life span of the landfill. As a contingency measure, a low permeable cover could be installed over the top of the existing final cover in the event of surface water impacts occurring. This would reduce infiltration which in turn will reduce leachate generation however it will increase the contaminating life span of the landfill. Landfill Gas Monitoring Typically landfill gas venting/monitoring is required at a closed landfill site. The final cover at this site is relatively permeable and the surrounding native materials are permeable. The landfill is relatively isolated. Therefore landfill gas venting/monitoring is not required. Groundwater Monitoring Program The consultants state that the groundwater monitoring program should continue as in 2011. The 2011 groundwater monitoring program is outlined in Table 1 in the report.

Provision of Services and Payment
Upon documented acceptance of Greenview’s proposed services, costs and associated terms by the client, Greenview may commence work on the proposed services directly. 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.

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.
