EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This annual operations and monitoring report for the Westside Landfill is required under the Operational Certificate (OC) PR#12217 issued by Ministry of Water, Land and Air Protection (MWLAP). This report includes results of measurements of municipal solid waste volumes for remaining capacity calculations, operational plans and budgets, and groundwater and landfill gas monitoring results.

Based on year 2002 weigh scale data, the total remaining capacity for the Westside Landfill, as of year end 2002, was approximately 614,000 m3. The landfill is expected to reach final capacity in the year 2014.

The Regional District of Central Okanagan (RDCO) will continue to provide operations staff at the landfill. The contract for site work including compaction, heavy equipment operation, and perimeter litter removal is held by Ansell Construction of Kelowna. The operational plan for 2002 is to continue filling in accordance with the OC.

Based on the results of the 2002 landfill gas and groundwater monitoring program, the following conclusions can be made:

During the 2002 sampling period, wells BH1, BH2, BH4 and BH5 (downgradient of the landfill) all showed elevated concentrations of several parameters relative to Dobbin’s Well (background). Parameters which were elevated above background conditions included conductivity, alkalinity, chloride, ammonia, arsenic, barium, boron, calcium, iron, magnesium, manganese, potassium, sodium and strontium.

Concentrations at BH1, located within the landfill, were the most elevated above background conditions, followed by BH4, BH2, BH5 and Shannon Lake Mobile Home Park (SLMHP), respectively.

In general, the concentrations of indicator parameters in downgradient wells have remained relatively constant during 2002.

There were a number of parameters during the 2002 monitoring program which had concentrations that exceed the BC Contaminated Sites Regulation - Drinking Water Standards (CSR-DW), Aquatic Life Standards (CSR-AW) as well as Guidelines for Canadian Drinking Water Quality (CGDWQ) on various occasions. Specifically, the exceedances in 2002 were:

Based on the relatively low methane gas concentrations measured during the landfill gas monitoring to date, a landfill gas collection system is not considered warranted at this time. We recommend that the current landfill gas monitoring program be continued.

Based on the limited nature of the groundwater exceedances and that the exceedances are generally confined to areas near the landfill, a leachate collection system is not considered warranted at this time.

As a landfill volume survey for the landfill has not been completed since July 2000, Golder recommends that a volume survey be completed for the landfill in 2003.

Golder Associates

February 2003 - ii - 012-4184 (5200)

TDS (based on conductivity) at BH1, BH2, BH4 and SLMHP (exceeded CGDWQ),

a Chloride at BH1 and BH4 (exceeded both CSR-DW and GCDWQ), 3 Iron at BHl, BH2 (exceeded both CSR-DW and GCDWQ), a Manganese at BH1, BH2, BH4, and BH5 (exceeded both CSR-DW and

GCDWQ), and pH at BH1, BH4 and SLMHP (exceeded GCDWQ).

While several of the elevated parameters in SLMPH are similar to those in monitors closer to the landfill, there is insufficient information to conclude whether the impacts are related to the landfill or not.

Combustible gas measurements were slightly elevated in BH1, BH2 and BHlOl (shallow and deep). Decreased concentrations of oxygen and elevated concentrations of carbon dioxide at BH1, BH2, MN 99-1, MN 99-2, MN 99-3, MN 99-4, BHlOl (deep and shallow), BH102 and BH 103 were also suggestive of biodegradation of waste. While combustible gas concentration appear to be similar to or slighlty higher than in previous monitoring, the combustible gas results are not considered a health or safety concern.

Based on the landfill gas and groundwater monitoring results to date, Golder Associates Ltd. makes the following recommendations.

Based on the groundwater monitoring results to date, Golder recommends that the currently prescribed monitoring program be continued with some modification. The currently prescribed monitoring program is stated in Section 3.0 of this report. We suggest that the required groundwater elevation monitoring for BH6 and well be eliminated. BH6 has not been located in the field for several years, an Well can not be accessed due to the installed pump works. In addition, we recommend that water from SLMPH be analysed for Total Dissolve Solids (TDS) so that values will not need to be inferred from conductivity results.

Based on the concentrations of chloride, conductivity and inferred TDS at the SLMHP well, we recommend that the SLMHP be supplied with municipal water (Lakeview Irrigation District).

1 .O INTRODUCTION

This annual operation and monitoring report for the Westside Landfill is required under the Operational Certificate (OC) PR#12217 issued by Ministry of Water, Land and Air Protection (MWLAP). As outlined in Section 3.0 of the OC, the following information is included in this report:

total volume and/or weight of material discharged;

service population and waste discharge rates with trend analysis compared to 1990 baseline discharge rate;

authorized design volume;

estimates of remaining site life and capacity;

an operational plan for the next 12 months;

operating and maintenance expenditures for the landfill;

groundwater, leachate and landfill gas monitoring data and interpretation;

amount of leachate collected, treated and disposed;

changes from authorized reports, plans and specifications including changes to the contingency plan;

amount of landfill gas collected and its disposition;

review of closure plan and associated estimated costs, including an update of the schedule of reserve funds or security to be collected each year until closure, to pay estimated costs of closure, the 25 year post closure period and contingency for remediation; and

any other data relevant to the OC.

W e have divided the above elements into three sections in this report: Municipal Solid Waste Measurement, Operational Plans and Budgets, and Groundwater and Landfill Gas Monitoring.

February 2003 - 2 - 012-4184 (5200)

As part of this report, information was supplied from the Regional District of Central Okanagan (RDCO) (including solid waste measurement data) and Earth Tech Canada Inc. (Earth Tech) (including previous landfill survey results).

A location plan and site plan for the Westside Landfill are presented as Figures 1 and 2 respectively.

2.0 MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE MEASUREMENT

The mass of waste accepted by the Westside Landfill for 2002, based on RDCO weigh scale data, is as follows:

0 20,845 metric tonnes, from such sources as compactor trucks and bin trucks, weighed by the onsite scale,

11 1 metric tonnes from residential bag drop off (based on an assumed 10 kg per bag), and

0 101 metric tonnes as flat rate loads (based on an assumed 125 kg per load).

This leads to a total of approximately 2 1,050 metric tonnes landfilled in 2002.

2.1 Waste Volumes and Density

In the years 1999 and 2000, Earth Tech completed volume surveys of the Westside Landfill. Based on the survey results and estimated tonnages, Earth Tech determined that the compacted density of refuse and cover at the Westside Landfill was approximately 0.80 tonnes/m3. Furthermore, Earth Tech determined that the compacted density of refuse alone was approximately 0.57 tonnes/m3.

The values calculated by Earth Tech for density of refuse and cover, as well as for refuse without cover material appear consistent with other landfill sites. Typical compacted densities for combined waste and cover in municipal landfills are generally in the 0.50 - 0.70 tonnes/m3 range. As such, the density of the combined cover and refuse at the Westside landfill is considered relatively high.

For the purpose of landfill life span estimates, a compacted density for combined waste and cover of 0.80 tonnes/m3 and a compacted density for refuse only of 0.55 tonnes/m3 will be used. Using a compacted density for refuse only of 0.55 tonnes/m3 is slightly conservative.

Golder Associates

February 2003 - 3 - 0 12-4 184 (5200)

A summary of the densities and waste volumes calculated for 2002 are presented in Table 1.

2.2 Service Population and Waste Discharge Rates

The service population for the Westside Landfill was estimated by the RDCO to be 37,895 persons in 1999. It is expected that the population has increased by 2 percent per year and therefore we estimate that the service population was 40,214 for 2002. The reported mass of refuse accepted by the landfill for 2002 was 21,057 tonnes. Therefore, based on the service population and the estimated tonnage received, the per capita waste discharge rate was 524 kg/person for 2002. This represents a 56 percent reduction from the 1990 baseline rate of 1,200 kg/person per year. The attached Figure 3 shows the generation rates since 1990.

A 50 percent reduction in per-capita waste volumes was required relative to 1990 rates by the end of the year 2000 under the Regional Solid Waste Management Plan. This generation rate requirement continues to be met through 2002.

2.3 Design Volume and Remaining Capacity

A survey completed by Earth Tech staff in July 2000 indicated that approximately 737,400m3 of available volume remained at the landfill. This volume was based on a model completed by Earth Tech, which assumed a 3:l slope for the perimeter of the landfill to an ultimate height of 555 m (geodetic). Earth Tech staff then projected the remaining volume of the landfill at year end 2000, at 713,147 m3.

Golder has approximated the total volume landfilled for 2001 and 2002 in order to determine the remaining capacity of the landfill and estimate the closure date. These calculations were based on the refuse totals provided by the RDCO for the year 2001 and 2002 and are summarized in Table 2.

The estimated lifespan on the Westside landfill has been updated based on 2002 refuse totals and is presented in Table 2. We have assumed a population growth rate of 2 percent, and the waste production rate of 0.505 tonnes per capita per year, which is based on an average of the 1997-2002 data. As discussed, it is assumed that waste is compacted to a density of 0.55 tonnes/m3. Using these assumptions, the Westside Landfill is estimated to reach final capacity in the year 2014. This is consistent with past annual reports.

3.0 OPERATIONAL PLANS AND BUDGETS

3.1 Operational Plan for 2003

The RDCO will continue to provide operations staff at the landfill. The contract for site work including compaction, heavy equipment operation, and perimeter litter removal is held by Ansell Construction of Kelowna.

The operational plan for 2003 is to continue filling in accordance with the OC.

3.2 Operation and Maintenance Expenditures

The 2003 operational and maintenance budget for the landfill has not been provided to Golder staff by the RDCO. However, based on calculations completed by Earth Tech in 2000, the annual operational budget for landfill monitoring is approximately $27,600 per year.

3.3 Changes to Reports, Plans and Specifications

No changes to the operation plans have been identified by Mr. Charlie Cameron of the RDCO.

3.4 Review of Closure Plan

The design for the closure plan for the Westside Landfill was completed in September 1997. No changes to the closure plan have been completed at this point.

3.5 Closure Cost Estimate

The closure cost estimate of $1,230,500, as previously estimated by Earth Tech, has not changed since previous annual reports. We note that the cost requirements for landfill gas collection depends on the results of future monitoring of wells in the area of the landfill. The costs outlined are for passive venting. Table 3, outlines the expected closure costs, and is included with this report.

4.0 GROUNDWATER AND LANDFILL GAS MONITORING

The purpose of the program is to monitor the potential impacts that the landfill may have on the local groundwater quality and the potential for landfill gas migration.

4.1 Permit Requirements

The groundwater monitoring requirements for the Westside Landfill were revised in 200 1 from those stated in the OC (OC No. PR 12217, dated May 28, 1997). The revisions to the permit were outlined in a letter issued on May 3, 2001 by MWLAP. The current groundwater and landfill gas monitoring requirements are presented in Table 4.

4.2 Methodology

Groundwater Monitorinq

The 2002 groundwater monitoring program for the Westside Landfill was carried out by Golder staff. The Well represents background groundwater conditions and monitoring wells BH1, BH2, BH4 and BH5 represent downgradient groundwater conditions. The Shannon Lake Mobile Home Park (SLMHP) well represents a private water well within 1,000 m of the landfill and is further downgradient of the site.

Groundwater samples collected from the wells in the 2002 monitoring program were submitted to Car0 Environmental Services of Kelowna, B.C. for chemical analyses. Collected groundwater samples from BHI, BH2, BH4, BH5 and SLMHP wells were analyzed for several or all of the following inorganic parameters: pH, conductivity, alkalinity, chloride, sulphate, ammonia nitrogen, nitrate nitrogen, phosphorus, and dissolved metals.

At a frequency of once every two years, groundwater samples are also analysed for organic paramaters such as extractable petroleum hydrocarbons, volatile organic compounds as well as acid and base neutral extractables, biological oxygen demand (BOD) and chemical oxygen demand (COD). Analysis for these parameters was not scheduled for 2002 but is scheduled for 2003.

Groundwater analytical results were compared to both aquatic life and drinking water standards and guidelines. The aquatic life standards used are those of the BC Contaminated Sites Regulations (CSR-AW). The drinking water standards and guidelines used are those in both the BC Contaminated Sites Regulations (CSR-DW) and Guidelines for Canadian Drinking Water Quality (GCDWQ).

Soil Vapour Monitorinq

The 2002 soil vapour monitoring program was conducted by Golder staff at wells MW99-1, MW99-2, MW99-3, MW99-4 and at wells BH1, BH2, BH4, BH5, BHlOl (shallow/deep), BH102 and BH103 on July 18, 2002 and December 18, 2002. Gases were measured with a Gastech gas monitor (Gastech). The instrument contains a mechanical pump which is used to purge the gas monitoring well until maximum concentrations are recorded. Each instrument had been calibrated prior to use at the site to either hexane or methane.

4.3 Groundwater Monitoring Results

Groundwater monitoring results are discussed below with specific subsections for:

i) groundwater elevation data, ii) monitoring results relative to background concentrations, iii) monitoring results relative to historic data (trend analysis), iv) monitoring results relative to drinking water and aquatic life standards and

guidelines, v) monitoring results for SLMHP well.

As noted previously, the Well is considered to represent background groundwater conditions and monitoring wells BH1, BH2, BH4 and BH5 represent downgradient groundwater conditions. In addition, the SLMHP well is present further downgradient of the site.

Groundwater Elevation Data

The results of groundwater elevations measured between 1994 and 2002 are presented in Table 5. Historical groundwater elevations are presented in graphical form as Figure 4A and 4B. As shown, groundwater elevations show seasonal fluctuations but are otherwise relatively consistent. During the 2002 monitoring program, water levels were measured in wells BH1, BH2, BH4, BH5, BH7 and BH8. The 2002 groundwater elevation data is generally consistent with previous groundwater elevation data.

Based on the groundwater elevations measured in the 2002 monitoring program and the general topography of the area, it is inferred that groundwater flows in an easterly direction at the northeast portion of the site and in a southerly direction at the southern portion of the site, as shown on Figure 2. This is consistent with previous results.

Monitoring Results Relative to Background Concentrations

The analytical results for samples collected from 1994 through 2002 are presented in Table 6 (General Groundwater Chemistry).

The chemical data for the background well Well) have been relatively consistent over the seven monitoring events (1994, 1997, 1999, July 2000, September 2000, 2001 and 2002). Concentrations of the indicator parameters are generally very low or below laboratory method detection limits (MDL) at Well.

Similar to previous monitoring results, it appears that the landfill is having an effect on the local groundwater quality. In the monitoring wells presented below, the listed parameters were elevated above background concentrations:

0 BH 1, conductivity, alkalinity, ammonia, arsenic, barium, boron, calcium, chloride, iron, magnesium, manganese, potassium, sodium, and strontium;

0 BH2, conductivity, alkalinity, ammonia, arsenic, barium, boron, calcium, chloride, iron, magnesium, manganese, and strontium;

BH4, conductivity, alkalinity, barium, boron, calcium, chloride, magnesium, manganese, potassium, sodium, and strontium;

0 BH5, calcium, chloride, magnesium, manganese, and potassium;

0 SLMHP, conductivity, alkalinity, arsenic, calcium, chloride, magnesium, and potassium.

Based on the above, groundwater with concentrations elevated the most above background concentrations is found in monitoring wells BH1, BH2 and BH4. Groundwater from monitoring well BH5 and SLMHP exhibits concentrations only slightly to moderately elevated above background concentrations.

Monitoring results relative to historic data (trend analysis)

For reference purposes, trend analysis graphing is presented in Appendix I. Concentrations of the various analyzed inorganic parameters in groundwater from BHl, BH2 and BH4 all showed marked increases between 1994 and 1997. Since 1998 however, concentrations of most analyzed parameters in groundwater from these three monitoring wells have only shown slight fluctuation and appear to have reached a relatively steady state.

February 2003 - 8 - 012-4184 (5200)

The concentrations of indicator parameters at BH5 do not show an increase between 1994 and 2001, but rather appear to have been relatively constant (with minor fluctuations) for this time period.

Discussion on trends in concentrations noted in groundwater samples from the SLMHP is presented below.

Monitoring Results Relative to CSR Drinking Water (DW) and Aquatic Life (AW) Standards and Guidelines

Concentrations of a number of parameters at BH1, BH2, BH4 and BH5 in 2002 exceeded both the CSR-DW and GCDWQ (note: the CSR-DW and GCDWQ for specific parameters are generally identical). No samples exhibited concentrations of analyzed parameters exceeding the CSR-AW Standards. The following list presents the parameters that consistently exceeded the CSR-DW and/or the GCDWQ in the year 2002 at specific monitoring location.

BH1, TDS, chloride, iron, and manganese;

0 BH2, TDS, iron and manganese;

BH4, TDS, chloride and manganese;

BH5, manganese; and

SLMHP,TDS.

We note that the TDS values have been inferred based on conductivity measurements (ie conductivity x 0.667). Furthermore, the standards for chloride, iron and manganese are for aesthetic purposes and are not human health based.

Monitoring Results for SLMHP Well

Golder Associates

Water samples from SLMHP were analyzed primarily for the parameters of chloride and conductivity for the years 1997 through 2000 as per permit requirements. For this time period, only a limited number of samples were also analyzed for parameters such as nutrients, and metals. However, beginning in 2001, water samples from SLMHP were also analyzed for nutrients, select dissolved metals in addition to chloride and conductivity (as per the amended operational permit).

. February 2003 - 9 - 0 12-4 184 (5200)

For SLMHP drinking water, a general increasing trend in concentrations of analyzed parameters has been noted for the period from 1998 to 2000. Specific parameters noted to have increased include conductivity, alkalinity, calcium, chloride, nitrate and nitrite and magnesium. Since the year 2000 however, concentrations of analyzed parameters have generally stabilized or have only increased slightly.

We note, based on the inferred TDS concentration, drinking water from the SLMHP does exceed the GCDWQ.

During one of the four sampling events in 2002, SLMHP well water was also noted to exhibit a low pH value of 6.1. The value was below the range given by the GCDWQ (6.5 - 8.5), but only marginally. All other samples collected from SLMHP well water exhibited a pH value in the range of 7.2 to 7.4 for 2002 and the measured low pH appears to be an anomalous value.

Both chloride and conductivity are potential indicator parameters for leachate, and it is possible that the increasing concentrations of these parameters at the SLMHP well may be related to landfill leachate from the old or existing landfill areas. However, none of the other landfill indicator parameters have shown a similar increase. In addition, nitrate and nitrite concentrations have increased at SLMHP, but are typically low in wells impacted by leachate. The available information is insufficient to conclude whether or not leachate from the Westside landfill has reached the SLMHP.

4.4 Landfill Gas Monitoring Results

Soil vapour readings were taken on July 18, 2002, in monitoring wells MW99-1 through MW99-4, BHl, BH2, BH4, BH5, BH8, BHlOl (shallow and deep), BH102 and BH103. Soil vapour readings were also taken on December 18, 2002 in monitoring wells MW99-1 through MW99-4, BH1, BH2 and BHlOl (shallow and deep). Soil vapour readings are summarized in Table 7.

Combustible Gas (methane) - Methane concentrations were highest in July 2002 (compared to December 2002) and ranged from 900 to 1,140 ppm (or 1.8 to 2.3 percent of the lower explosive limit (LEL)) of combustible gas were detected at BH1, BH2, BH 99-2 and BH 101 (deep) using the Gastech instrument during the July 2002 monitoring event. Readings at the other locations during the July monitoring event ranged from 80 to 740 ppm, or 0.2 to 1.5 percent LEL (concentrations of less than 80 ppm are considered to be representative of background conditions for this instrument). Readings during the December 2002 monitoring event ranged from 200 to 680 ppm, or 0.4 to 1.4 percent LEL.

Golder Associates

February 2003 - 1 0 - 012-4184 (5200)

Oxy= - Oxygen concentrations were close to atmospheric levels in most wells and ranged from 16.3 to 20.9% in all wells for both 2002 sampling events (atmospheric concentration of oxygen is 20.9%). The lower concentrations of oxygen were generally noted in boreholes located in close proximity to and downgradient of the landfill, such as BHl, BH2 and BH101.

Carbon Dioxide - Elevated concentrations (> S percent) of C02 were detected at BHl, BH2 and BH 101 (deep) during the July 2002, sampling event. These are the same wells noted above which showed relatively low oxygen concentrations.

Carbon dioxide concentrations in December of 2002 were not monitored as the proper instrument was not available for the sampling event.

Hydrogen Sulphide - Concentrations of H2S in all but one monitoring well were 0 ppm for both the July and December sampling events. The only sample that showed a detectable concentration of H2S (1 ppm) was collected from BH8 during the July sampling event.

4.5 Discussion of Groundwater and Landfill Gas Monitoring

Based on the results of the 2002 monitoring program, the following statements can be made regarding the ongoing groundwater and landfill gas monitoring program at the Westside Landfill:

During the 2002 sampling period, wells BH1, BH2, BH4 and BHS (downgradient of the landfill) all showed elevated concentrations of several parameters relative to Well (background). Parameters which were elevated above background conditions included conductivity, alkalinity, chloride, ammonia, arsenic, barium, boron, calcium, iron, magnesium, manganese, potassium, sodium and strontium.

Concentrations at BH1, located within the landfill, were the most elevated above background conditions, followed by BH4, BH2, BHS and Shannon Lake Mobile Home Park (SLMHP), respectively.

In general, the concentrations of indicator parameters in downgradient wells have remained relatively constant during 2002.

Golder Associates

s33

February 2003 - 11 - 012-4184 (5200)

0 There were a number of parameters during the 2002 monitoring program which had concentrations that exceed the BC Contaminated Sites Regulation - Drinking Water Standards (CSR-DW), Aquatic Life Standards (CSR-AW) as well as Guidelines for Canadian Drinking Water Quality (CGDWQ) on various occasions. Specifically, the exceedances in 2002 were:

TDS (based on conductivity) at BHI, BH2, BH4 and SLMHP (exceeded

Chloride at BHI and BH4 (exceeded both CSR-DW and GCDWQ), Iron at BH1, BH2 (exceeded both CSR-DW and GCDWQ), Manganese at BH1, BH2, BH4, and BH5 (exceeded both CSR-DW and GCDWQ), and pH at BH1, BH4 and SLMHP (exceeded GCDWQ).

CGDWQ),

Concentrations of several parameters have increased in the SLMHP well since the first round of monitoring in 1998. However, it appears that concentrations of these indicator parameters leveled off in 2001 and 2002. This includes conductivity, alkalinity, calcium, chloride and magnesium. Based on the inferred TDS concentration, SLMHP well water exceeds the GCDWQ for TDS. Furthermore, SLMHP well water exhibited a low pH for one of the four 2002 sampling events that was not within the GCDWQ. While several of the elevated parameters are similar to those in monitors closer to the landfill, there is insufficient information to conclude whether the impacts are related to the landfill or not.

Combustible gas measurements were slightly elevated in BHI, BH2 and BHlOl (shallow and deep). Decreased concentrations of oxygen and elevated concentrations of carbon dioxide at BH1, BH2, MN 99-1, MN 99-2, MN 99-3, MN 99-4, BHlOl (deep and shallow), BH102 and BH 103 were also suggestive of biodegradation of waste. While combustible gas concentration appear to be similar to or slighlty higher than in previous monitoring, the combustible gas results are not considered a health or safety concern.

5.0 RECOMMENDATIONS

Based on the groundwater monitoring results to date, Golder recommends that the currently prescribed monitoring program be continued with some modification. The currently prescribed monitoring program is stated in Section 3.0 of this report. We suggest that the required groundwater elevation monitoring for BH6 and well be eliminated. BH6 has not been located in the field for several years, and Well can not be accessed due to the installed pump works. In addition, we r that water from SLMPH be analysed for TDS so that values will not need to be inferred from the conductivity results.

Golder Associates

s33

February 2003 - 1 2 - 012-4184 (5200)

Based on the concentrations of chloride, conductivity and inferred TDS at the SLMHP well, we recommend that the SLMHP be supplied with municipal water (Lakeview Irrigation District).

Based on the relatively low methane gas concentrations measured during the landfill gas monitoring to date, a landfill gas collection system is not considered warranted at this time. We recommend that the current landfill gas monitoring program be continued.

Based on the limited nature of the groundwater exceedances and that the exceedances are generally confined to areas near the landfill, a leachate collection system is not considered warranted at this time.

As a landfill volume survey for the landfill has not been completed since July 2000, Golder recommends that a volume survey be completed for the landfill in 2003.

6.0 LIMITATIONS AND USE OF REPORT

This report was prepared for the exclusive use of Regional District of the Central Okanagan. Any use which a third party makes of this report, or any reliance on or decisions to be made based on it are the responsibility of such third parties. Golder accepts no responsibility for damages, if any, suffered by any third party as a result of decisions made or actions taken based on this report.

The report, which includes all appendices and attachments, is based on data and information collected during the investigation conducted by Golder Associates Ltd.’s personnel. It provides a level of assurance commensurate with the level of study. The report is based solely on the site conditions at the time of the site investigation conducted in 2002, as described in this report.

In evaluating the site, Golder has relied in good faith on information provided by the individuals and agencies noted in this report. We accept no responsibility for any deficiency, misstatements or inaccuracies contained in this report as a result of omissions, misinterpretations of fraudulent acts of the persons or agencies interviewed.

The assessment of environmental conditions and possible hazards at this site has been made using the results of chemical analysis of discrete groundwater samples from a limited number of locations. The site conditions between sampling locations have been inferred based on conditions observed at borehole, monitoring well and test pit locations. Subsurface conditions may vary from these sample locations. Additional study, including further subsurface investigation, can reduce the inherent uncertainties associated with this type of study.

However, it is never possible, even with exhaustive sampling and testing, to dismiss the possibility that part of a site may be contaminated and remain undetected.

This investigation was performed according to current professional standards and practices in the environmental field. If new information is discovered during future work, including excavations, borings or other activities or studies, Golder should be requested to reevaluate the conclusions of this report, and to provide amendments as required.

7.0 CLOSURE
