Introduction

1.1 BACKGROUND

The Ophir Road Resource Recovery Centre is located approximately 3 km north-east of the Orange central business district. The area surrounding the property to the north, east and south is predominantly rural or rural residential development. Orange City Council’s sewage treatment works is located immediately west of the facility on the opposite side of Blackmans Swamp Creek.

Ophir Road Resource Recovery Centre is owned by Orange City Council and has been in operation since the mid 1960’s. The site is zoned SP2 ‘Infrastructure’ under Orange Local Environmental Plan 2011.

1.2 LICENCE REQUIREMENTS

The Ophir Road Resource Recovery Centre currently operates under Environment Protection Licence 5956 (EPL 5956), issued under Section 55 of the Protection of the Environment Operations Act 1997 (The Act). This licence governs the design, construction, operation, monitoring and rehabilitation of the facility in accordance with The Act.

Management and operation of the centre is also undertaken in accordance with the Landfill Environmental Management Plan (LEMP, Geolyse, 2013).

Section 5 of EPL 5956 provides instructions on environmental monitoring requirements. Specifically, Condition M2.1 describes the requirements to monitor the concentration of pollutants discharged to groundwater, surface water, leachate, surface gas and sub-surface gas.

Annual reporting requirements that are outlined in Condition R1.1 state:

“R1.1 The licensee must complete and supply to the EPA an Annual Return in the approved form comprising:

a) a Statement of Compliance; and

b) a Monitoring and Complaints Summary.

At the end of each reporting period, the EPA will provide to the licensee a copy of the form that must be completed and returned to the EPA.”

The deadline for the Annual Return that is outlined in Condition R1.5 states:

“The Annual Return for the reporting period must be supplied to the EPA by registered post not later than 60 days after the end of each reporting period or in the case of a transferring licence not later than 60 days after the date the transfer was granted (the 'due date')”

The reporting period for this AEMR is from 1 July 2015 to 30 June 2016. All monitoring data collected prior to this reporting period has also been included in the presentation and analysis of data. Collection of environmental data began at the Ophir Road Resource Recovery Centre in December 1997.

EPL 5956 was varied on 23 December 2015, and applicable to the current reporting period. The primary implication of the variation included an extension of the operating Hours for the period from Wednesday 23 December 2015 to Thursday 24 December 2015. Operating hours in this period were varied from 7:00 am to 7:00 pm to 6:00 am to 10:00 pm.

Environmental Monitoring Results

3.1 INTRODUCTION

Monitoring results are presented in this section for all environmental monitoring undertaken during the reporting period. The laboratory data are presented, along with an interpretation of trends, variability and anomalies for groundwater, surface water, leachate and accumulated gas. Levels greater than the LEMP provisional limits, any deficiencies in monitoring, environmental incidents and remedial actions undertaken to correct any problems or deficiencies are also discussed.

Monitoring data is summarised in the following figures and in the tables of Appendix A. All laboratory reports and chain-of-custody documentation are included in Appendix B.

3.2 GROUNDWATER

Groundwater monitoring consisted of biannual water level measurements at the ten (10) piezometer monitoring stations and biannual collection of groundwater samples from these piezometers where sufficient volume is available for sample collection.

3.2.1 GROUNDWATER LEVELS

Groundwater level measurements are presented for all monitoring stations in Appendix A, Table A1 and are illustrated below in Figure 2 for the previous 4 years.

Figure 2: Groundwater Levels – Ophir Road Resource Recovery Centre, 2012 to 2016

Groundwater levels remained relatively consistent throughout the reporting period, with BH3 remaining the up-gradient monitoring point. Groundwater elevations of the most recently installed monitoring locations BH5 and BH6 correspond to down-gradient locations. The largest recorded variance in the reporting period was recorded at BH4, which fell from 845.26 mAHD in September 2015 to 843.53 mAHD in March 2016. Fluctuations in water level at this piezometer have previously been recorded.

3.2.2 GROUNDWATER QUALITY

Complete historical results for each groundwater monitoring event in the reporting period are presented in Appendix A, Table A2. Monitoring locations BH2A (September 2015 and March 2016) and BH7A (March 2016) were unable to be sampled in the reporting period due to insufficient water available for collection of samples.

Laboratory measured pH was slightly alkaline and relatively consistent across the site in the reporting period, with values ranging from 7.35 at BH1A (March 2016) to 8.15 at BH3 (September 2015). pH values are indicative of suitable for livestock drinking water, with all values falling within the guideline range of 6.5 to 8.5 (Markwick, 2007). pH of groundwater at all piezometers (with historic data available) decreased during the reporting period.

Electrical conductivity (EC) ranged from 248 µS/cm at BH1A (September 2015) to 3,190 µS/cm at BH4 (March 2016). Corresponding total dissolved solids (TDS) concentrations ranged from 166 mg/L to 2,137 mg/L, and are considered suitable for consumption by the most susceptible livestock category, poultry (<3,000 mg/L, ANZECC & ARMCANZ, 2000).

Total alkalinity concentrations ranged from 112 mgCaCO3/L at BH1A (March 2016) to 785 mgCaCO3/L at BH4 (September 2015). Concentrations were generally observed to be consistent across the reporting period, with the exception of BH5, which fell from 748 mgCaCO3/L in September 2015 to 157 mgCaCO3/L in March 2016. The guideline hardness value for potential fouling of waters (350 mgCaCO3/L, ANZECC & ARMCANZ, 2000) was exceeded at monitoring locations BH2, BH4, BH5 and BH7A at the September 2015 and/or the March 20165 monitoring events.

Sulfate ranged from a low of below the laboratory limit of reporting (LOR) of 1 mg/L at BH1A (September 2015) to 866 mg/L at BH7A (September 2015). These concentrations are lower than the 1000 mg/L guideline value for livestock drinking water (ANZECC & ARMCANZ, 2000).

Chloride concentrations in groundwater ranged from 2 mg/L at BH1 (September 2015) to 621 mg/L at BH4 (March 2016). No concentrations of chloride in groundwater exceeded the upper guideline value for irrigation to moderately tolerant crops (700 mg/L, ANZECC & ARMCANZ, 2000) in the reporting period.

Fluoride concentrations in the reporting period ranged from below the laboratory LOR of 0.1 mg/L at BH4, BH5 and BH6 to 0.2 mg/L at BH1, BH1A, BH2, BH7 and BH7A. All values were lower than the livestock drinking water guideline value of 2 mg/L (ANZECC & ARMCANZ, 2000) and are consistent historical data.

Calcium concentrations were all lower than the livestock drinking water guideline value of 1,000 mg/L (ANZECC & ARMCANZ, 2000). Monitoring station BH4 recorded the highest concentration at 275 mg/L (March 2016), and BH1A recorded the lowest at 16 mg/L (September 2015). Concentrations were consistent with historical data.

Magnesium concentrations ranged from 16 mg/L at BH1 and BH1A (September 2015 and March 2016) to 256 mg/L at BH4 (March 2016) and were consistent with historical data.

Potassium concentrations in groundwater ranged from below the laboratory LOR of 1 mg/L at BH1, BH1A, BH5 and BH6 to 11 mg/L at BH3, and were consistent with historical data.

Sodium in groundwater was recorded to be lowest at BH1 at 10 mg/L (March 2016) and highest at BH7A at 130 mg/L (September 2015). These values are below the irrigation guideline for moderately tolerant crops (460 mg/L, ANZECC & ARMCANZ 2000) and the conservative aesthetic guideline for human drinking water (180 mg/L, NHMRC & NRMMC 2011).

Manganese ranged from below the laboratory LOR of 0.001 mg/L at BH1 (September 2015) to 2.54 mg/L at BH7A (September 2015). Groundwater sampled at BH1, BH3, BH4, BH5 and BH6 was consistently below the long-term (<100 years) crop irrigation guideline value of 0.2 mg/L, while all monitoring locations recorded manganese concentrations below the short-term (<20 years) guideline value of 10 mg/L (ANZECC & ARMCANZ, 2000). Concentrations were consistent with historical data,


ORANGE CITY COUNCIL

PAGE 10 298047_AEMR15-16_001C

noting that BH7A had not been monitored prior to the current reporting period. There are no livestock drinking water or LEMP provisional limits for manganese.

Iron was below the laboratory LOR of 0.05 mg/L at BH1, BH3, BH4, BH5, BH6, BH7 and BH7A (September 2015) and BH1, BH5 and BH6 (March 2016). Iron in groundwater was most elevated at BH2, with the maximum concentration of 2.24 mg/L recorded in March 2016. For irrigation purposes, iron concentrations in groundwater from BH1, BH1A, BH3, BH4, BH5, BH6, BH7A are considered suitable for short-term (<20 years) use and the remainder of points are considered suitable for long-term (<100 years) use (ANZECC & ARMCANZ, 2000). There is no LEMP provisional limit for iron in groundwater.

Low levels of aluminium were detected at all monitoring stations, with the highest being 0.10 mg/L at BH3 in March 2016. This concentration is significantly lower than the 5 mg/L guideline value for livestock drinking water (ANZECC & ARMCANZ, 2000). There is no LEMP provisional limit for aluminium in groundwater; all concentrations were consistent with historical results.

The concentration of copper remained below the LEMP provisional limit of 0.015 mg/L in all samples with the highest concentration of 0.012 mg/L recorded at BH5 (September 2015). All concentrations were consistent with historical ranges, lower than the guideline value for livestock (0.5-5 mg/L, ANZECC & ARMCANZ, 2000) and for human drinking water (2 mg/L, NHMRC & NRMMC, 2011).

Ammonia concentrations were most elevated at BH2 (1.5 mgN/L in March 2016) which exceeded the LEMP provisional limit, however BH2 has consistently displayed the highest ammonia concentrations. The ammonia concentration recorded in BH2 increased by 1.18 mgN/L during the reporting period, however a maximum ammonia concentration of 3.25 mgN/L was previously recorded in March 2015. Ammonia concentrations in groundwater from all other monitoring points were below the aesthetic guideline for ammonia in human drinking water (0.41 mgN/L, NHMRC & NRMMC, 2011).

Nitrate concentrations in groundwater ranged from below the laboratory LOR of 0.01 mgN/L at BH1, BH2, BH3, BH5, BH6, BH7 and BH7A (September 2015) and BH5 and BH6 (March 2016) to 6.48 mgN/L at BH6 (September 2015). Nitrate concentrations in groundwater from all monitoring points were below the LEMP provisional limit of 10 mgN/L and below the livestock drinking water guideline value of 90.29 mgN/L (ANZECC & ARMCANZ, 2000), however the elevated groundwater nitrate concentration at BH6 will continue to be monitored.

Total organic carbon concentrations in groundwater ranged from below the LOR at BH3, BH5, BH6, BH7 and BH7A, to 14 mg/L at BH4 (March 2016).

Total phenolics were below the LOR (<0.05 mg/L) at all groundwater monitoring points. Subsequently all samples were below the LEMP provisional limit of 0.1 mg/L and were within the historical ranges at each site.

No total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) fractions were detected at BH1, BH1A, BH3, BH5, BH6 or BH7 during the reporting period. Only the C6-C9 fraction was recorded at BH2 (0.12 mg/L in September 2015 to 1.32 mg/ in March 2016) and BH4 (0.07 mg/L in September 2015 and 0.21 mg/L in March 2016). The LEMP provisional limits were exceeded at BH2 and BH4 but remained below the historical maximum values.

In accordance with Section 3.8.2.3 of the LEMP, if monitoring indicates pollution, groundwater in the affected piezometer will be sampled and tested again as soon as possible to confirm the results. If re-sampling confirms the anomaly, the EPA will be notified as soon as practicable after it becomes known, by telephone and in writing within 14 days of confirmation.

While a number of parameters exceeded the LEMP provisional groundwater limits this monitoring period, all levels were generally consistent with historical results, were not considered excessively high or displayed decreases in subsequent monitoring rounds. No increasing adverse trends were observed, therefore re-sampling was not undertaken.

3.3 SURFACE WATER

Surface water quality monitoring consists of sampling at monitoring sites SW3 and SW4 monthly during discharge. Discharge events occurred only in July 2015 and June 2016(SW3 and SW4).

Analytical results for SW3 and SW4 are presented in Appendix A, Table A3.

3.3.1 QUALITY

pH in surface water ranged from slightly alkaline in SW3 at 7.75 (July 2015) to moderately alkaline in SW4 at 8.17 (June 2016). These values are within the range recommended as suitable for livestock drinking water (Markwick, 2007).

Electrical conductivity ranged from 304 µS/cm at SW4 (June 2016) to 1,860 µS/cm at SW3 (June 2016). Corresponding total dissolved solids (TDS) concentrations ranged from 204 mg/L to 1,246 mg/L, and are considered suitable for consumption by the most susceptible livestock category, poultry (<3,000 mg/L, ANZECC & ARMCANZ, 2000).

Total alkalinity ranged from 95 mgCaCO3/L at SW4 (June 2016) to 411 mgCaCO3/L at SW4 (July 2015). Exceedances of the conservative aesthetic guideline for human drinking water (200 mgCaCO3/L, NHMRC & NRMMC, 2011) were recorded, and the guideline hardness value for potential fouling of waters (350 mgCaCO3/L, ANZECC & ARMCANZ, 2000) was also exceeded at SW3 (June 2015) and SW4 (July 2015).

Sulfate concentrations ranged from 12 mg/L at SW4 (June 2016) to 314 mg/L at SW3 (June 2016). These concentrations are lower than the 1000 mg/L guideline value for livestock drinking water (ANZECC & ARMCANZ, 2000).

Chloride concentrations ranged from 22 mg/L at SW4 (June 2016) to 182 mg/L at SW3 (July 2015). No exceedance of the upper guideline value for irrigation to moderately tolerant crops (700 mg/L, ANZECC & ARMCANZ, 2000) was recorded.

Calcium concentrations were all lower than the livestock drinking water guideline value of 1,000 mg/L (ANZECC & ARMCANZ, 2000). Monitoring station SW3 recorded the highest concentration at 131 mg/L (June 2016), whilst the lowest concentration of 16 mg/L was recorded at SW4 (June 2016). Concentrations were consistent with historical data.

Magnesium concentrations ranged from 12 mg/L at SW4 (June 2016) to 52 mg/L at SW4 (July 2015) and were consistent with historical data.

Potassium concentrations ranged from 13 mg/L at SW4 (June 2016) to 88 mg/L at SW3 (June 2016) and were consistent with historical data.

Sodium concentrations were recorded to be lowest at SW4 at 20 mg/L (June 2016) and highest at SW3 at 124 mg/L (June 2016). These values are below the irrigation guideline for moderately tolerant crops (460 mg/L, ANZECC & ARMCANZ 2000), and the conservative aesthetic guideline for human drinking water (180 mg/L, NHMRC & NRMMC 2011).

Manganese ranged from 0.235 mg/L at SW4 (June 2016) to 0.596 mg/L at SW3 (July 2015). Manganese concentrations were consistently below the short-term (<20 years) crop irrigation guideline value of 10 mg/L (ANZECC & ARMCANZ, 2000). Concentrations were consistent with historical data.

Iron ranged from 1.44 mg/L at SW4 (July 2015) to 4.68 mg/L at SW3 (July 2015). For irrigation purposes, iron concentrations were below short-term (<20 years) irrigation criteria of 10 mg/L (ANZECC & ARMCANZ, 2000) at all locations.


ORANGE CITY COUNCIL

PAGE 14 298047_AEMR15-16_001C

Fluoride concentrations ranged from below the laboratory LOR 0.1 mg/L at SW4 (June 2016) to 0.2 mg/L at SW3 and SW4 (July 2015). Fluoride concentrations were and lower than the livestock drinking water guideline value of 2 mg/L (ANZECC & ARMCANZ, 2000) and are consistent with historical data.

Ammonia concentrations were recorded up to 14 mgN/L at SW3 (April 2015) which exceeded the aesthetic guideline for ammonia in human drinking water (0.41 mgN/L, NHMRC & NRMMC, 2011). Ammonia concentrations of 1.98 mgN/L at SW3 and 4.04 mgN/L at SW4 in February 2015 also exceeded the aesthetic guideline. The LEMP provisional limit of 1 mgN/L was also exceeded at these locations, however ammonia concentrations were below the historical maximums recorded at each monitoring point.

Nitrate was lowest at 0.03 mgN/L at SW4 (June 2016) and highest at SW3 at 12.9 mgN/L (June 2016). Nitrate concentrations were below the livestock drinking water guideline value of 90.29 mgN/L (ANZECC & ARMCANZ, 2000), however the LEMP provisional limit of 10 mgN/L was exceeded in June 2016. This was the highest recorded nitrate concentration for SW3, however is comparable with the previous maximum concentration of 11.1 mgN/L recorded in 2013.

Total phenolics were below the LOR (<0.05 mg/L) at all surface water monitoring points in the reporting period.

No TPH fractions were detected in the June 2016 discharge event during the reporting period. Heavy-end TPH was recorded in the C29-C36 fraction (SW3) and C15-C28 fraction (SW4) in the July 2015 discharge event. No LEMP provisional limits are in place for TPH in surface water discharges.

3.3.2 INTERPRETATION OF TRENDS

Analytical results from the previous two reporting periods have been compiled in Table 3.3. Where concentrations are consistently recorded as indicative of an increasing trend, this has been highlighted with red shading. Conversely, potential decreasing trends are highlighted with green shading.

Other Monitoring Data

4.1 PUBLIC CONCERNS AND COMPLAINTS

There were two (2) complaints reported to the EPA and passed through to Orange City Council regarding the operation of the landfill during the annual reporting period, on 21 December 2015 and 11 January 2016, which related to odour. It is noted that the complaint of 21 December 2015 may be attributed to an equipment breakdown which resulted in storage of additional waste at the premises.

Offensive odours are managed at ORRRC by:

Use of a fogging system containing a probiotic agent.

Keeping floor areas clean and dry at the conclusion of each work day

Closing lids on organic bins at the conclusion of each work day

Maintenance and inspection of building drainage systems on a weekly basis;

Closing doors when prevailing wind may carry odour from within structures

Further, in response to the odour complaints received in the current reporting period, odour surveys are now undertaken at random intervals at off-site locations by the ORRRC operator.

4.2 SOLID WASTE QUANTITIES

Waste quantities landfilled at ORRRC for the 2015-2016 reporting period are summarised in Table 4.1.

The total amount into landfill for 2015-2016 is below the limit set under Licence Condition L5.1, which states that the total tonnage of waste disposed of at the premises must not exceed 65,000 t/annum.

4.3 NOISE

In accordance with the management approach prescribed in the LEMP, noise is monitored by the recording of complaints received. In the event that a noise complaint is received more than once, field monitoring is undertaken to quantify off-site impacts.

No noise complaints were received, and accordingly no noise monitoring was undertaken.

4.4 SURVEY VOLUME CALCULATIONS

Detailed survey of the Stage 3 landfill surface was undertaken in June 2015 and July 2016. Data from these surveys was used to create digital terrain models of the landfill for use in volume calculations.

The landfill volume used between the two surveys was determined to be 15,929.8 m3, which included 6,197.5 m3 of virgin cover material sourced from on-site. The survey volume did not include the cover material stockpile, which has been estimated as containing approximately 25% of the total quantity of clean fill waste received in the reporting period

4.4.1 EFFECTIVE COMPACTION

The calculated landfill volume and the recorded waste quantities were used to determine the average waste compaction (excluding cover material) for the landfill. The licence for the facility requires a minimum waste compaction of 0.65 t/m3.

The landfill volume utilised in the period from July 2015 to June 2016 was 15,929.8 m3, comprised of 12,980.9 t of VENM (weighed, from off-site), 6,197.5 m3 of virgin cover material (corresponding to approximately 3,873.44 t) and 8,367.9 t of waste materials.

Therefore, the average waste compaction for the landfill in the reporting period to 30 June 2016 is 1.57 t/m3. This indicates that compliance with the minimum compaction requirement is being achieved.

4.4.2 WASTE DIVERSION OPERATIONS

The approximate proportions of waste streams diverted by sector are shown below:

Building / Demolition: 17,740 t diverted of 21,578 t received; 82%

Industrial / Commercial / Not-For-Profit: 2,381 t diverted of 13,344 t received; 18%

Residential / Municipal: 10,565 t diverted of 30,043 t received; 35%

Based on the above tonnages, approximately 30,686 t of waste material (of 64,965 t received) is diverted for recycling or on-site landfill operational purposes, equating to approximately 47% diversion. This data considers only the Orange local government area (LGA), and does not include waste generated from outside the Orange LGA.

Summary

5.1 MONITORING

This section provides a summary of the monitoring results presented in Section 3 and Section 4.

5.1.1 GROUNDWATER

Groundwater monitoring was conducted at ten piezometer monitoring stations in September 2015 and March 2016.

Groundwater levels remained relatively consistent throughout the reporting period, with BH3 remaining the up-gradient monitoring point. Groundwater elevations of the most recently installed monitoring locations BH5 and BH6 correspond to down-gradient locations. The groundwater level at BH4 fell from 845.26 mAHD in September 2015 to 843.53 mAHD in March 2016, however fluctuations in water level at this piezometer have previously been recorded

Groundwater samples were obtained from monitoring stations BH1, BH1A, BH2, BH3, BH4, BH5, BH6, BH7 and BH7A (September 2015 only) and were analysed for the biannual suite of parameters. Monitoring stations BH2A (September 2015 and March 2016) and BH7A (March 2016) could not be sampled as they provided insufficient recharge following purging.

The following parameters exceeded the LEMP provisional groundwater limits within the reporting period:

Ammonia in BH2 (March 2016)

Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons in BH2 (September 2015 and March 2016) and BH4 (March 2016)

Concentrations of analytes were generally consistent with historical results, and were not considered excessively high or low, being comparable with previous monitoring periods.

A potential increasing trend in the concentrations of TDS and calcium may be inferred at BH7. Further, nitrate and reactive phosphorus concentrations may be increasing at BH5. Results of further monitoring will establish whether these are indicative of significantly increasing trends.

5.1.2 SURFACE WATER

Two discharge samples were collected from SW3 and SW4 during the reporting period. Ammonia in SW3 (July 2015 and June 2016) and nitrate in SW3 (June 2016) exceeded the LEMP provisional limits, but were consistent with the established range.

Concentrations of other monitored analytes in surface water were below LEMP provisional limits and within historical ranges.

A potential increasing trend in the concentrations of EC, alkalinity, sulfate, boron, ammonia and nitrate may be inferred at SW3. Further, the pH may be becoming more alkaline at SW4. Results of further monitoring will establish whether these are indicative of significantly increasing trends.

5.1.3 LEACHATE

The leachate monitoring point was sampled in September 2015 and December 2016. Concentrations of monitored analytes in leachate were generally within historical ranges.

5.1.4 LANDFILL GAS

No landfill gas was detected accumulated within buildings located within 250 metres of deposited waste during the reporting period.

5.2 COMPLAINTS

Two odour complaints were reported during the annual reporting period, on 21 December 2015 and 11 January 2016. The complaint of 21 December 2015 may be attributed to an equipment breakdown which resulted in storage of additional waste at the premises.

Ongoing management of offensive odours by the ORRRC operator mitigated their extent and duration. Further, in response to the odour complaints received in the current reporting period, odour surveys are now undertaken at random intervals at off-site locations by the ORRRC operator.

5.3 SOLID WASTE QUANTITIES

A total of 20,306.06 t of waste (including VENM) was received into the landfill for the reporting period.

The total waste landfilled for licensing purposes was 2,998.24 t. This is below the maximum limit set under Licence Condition L5.1 (65,000 t).

5.4 WASTE COMPACTION AND DIVERSION

The rate of waste compaction was1.57 t/m3, which was above the requirement of 0.65 t/m3.

In the reporting period, approximately 47% of waste material was diverted for recycling or on-site landfill operational purposes.

Conclusion and Recommendations

6.1 CONCLUSION

The results of the groundwater, surface water and leachate monitoring indicated some minor fluctuations in the conditions at the Ophir Road Resource Recovery Centre. A limited number of historical ranges and LEMP provisional limits were exceeded, and future monitoring event will establish the significance of such exceedances.

Where exceedances of drinking, stock watering or irrigation criteria have been identified, these have generally been recorded for reference purposes. No receptors have been identified that utilise groundwater or leachate within the immediate area of the site, whilst surface water discharges are not considered to be representative of downgradient conditions where receptors are present.

No landfill gas was detected accumulated within buildings located within 250 metres of deposited waste during the reporting period.

The total waste landfilled for licensing purposes was 2,998.24 t. This is below the limit set under Licence Condition L5.1. The rate of waste compaction (0.80 t/m3) was above the licencing requirement.

6.2 RECOMMENDATIONS

It is recommended that environmental monitoring be continued at the Ophir Road Resource Recovery Centre in accordance with existing monitoring requirements of EPL 5956 and the Ophir Road Waste Management Facility LEMP.

General Comments

The analytical procedures used by the Environmental Division have been developed from established internationally recognized procedures such as those published by the USEPA, APHA, AS and NEPM. In house

developed procedures are employed in the absence of documented standards or by client request.

Where moisture determination has been performed, results are reported on a dry weight basis.

Where a reported less than (<) result is higher than the LOR, this may be due to primary sample extract/digestate dilution and/or insufficient sample for analysis.

Where the LOR of a reported result differs from standard LOR, this may be due to high moisture content, insufficient sample (reduced weight employed) or matrix interference.

When sampling time information is not provided by the client, sampling dates are shown without a time component. In these instances, the time component has been assumed by the laboratory for processing purposes.

CAS Number = CAS registry number from database maintained by Chemical Abstracts Services. The Chemical Abstracts Service is a division of the American Chemical Society.

LOR = Limit of reporting

^ = This result is computed from individual analyte detections at or above the level of reporting

ø = ALS is not NATA accredited for these tests.

Holding time for leachate methods (e.g. TCLP) vary according to the analytes reported. Assessment compares the leach date with the shortest analyte holding time for the equivalent soil method. These are: organics

14 days, mercury 28 days & other metals 180 days. A recorded breach does not guarantee a breach for all non-volatile parameters.

Holding times for VOC in soils vary according to analytes of interest. Vinyl Chloride and Styrene holding time is 7 days; others 14 days. A recorded breach does not guarantee a breach for all VOC analytes and

should be verified in case the reported breach is a false positive or Vinyl Chloride and Styrene are not key analytes of interest/concern.

In house: Referenced to APHA 2540C. A gravimetric procedure that determines the amount of `filterable` residue

in an aqueous sample. A well-mixed sample is filtered through a glass fibre filter (1.2um). The filtrate is

evaporated to dryness and dried to constant weight at 180+/-5C. This method is compliant with NEPM (2013)

In house: Referenced to APHA 3125; USEPA SW846 - 6020, ALS QWI-EN/EG020. Samples are 0.45 um filtered

prior to analysis. The ICPMS technique utilizes a highly efficient argon plasma to ionize selected elements. Ions

are then passed into a high vacuum mass spectrometer, which separates the analytes based on their distinct

mass to charge ratios prior to their measurement by a discrete dynode ion detector.

Schedule B(3)


In house: Referenced to APHA 3125; USEPA SW846 - 6020, ALS QWI-EN/EG020. Samples are 0.45µm filtered

prior to analysis. The ICPMS technique utilizes a highly efficient argon plasma to ionize selected elements. Ions

are then passed into a high vacuum mass spectrometer, which separates the analytes based on their distinct

mass to charge ratios prior to their measurement by a discrete dynode ion detector.

In house: Referenced to USEPA SW 846 - 8015A The sample extract is analysed by Capillary GC/FID and

quantification is by comparison against an established 5 point calibration curve of n-Alkane standards. This

method is compliant with the QC requirements of NEPM (2013) Schedule B(3)


In house: Referenced to USEPA SW 846 - 8260B Water samples are directly purged prior to analysis by

Capillary GC/MS and quantification is by comparison against an established 5 point calibration curve.

Alternatively, a sample is equilibrated in a headspace vial and a portion of the headspace determined by GCMS

analysis. This method is compliant with the QC requirements of NEPM (2013) Schedule B(3)



In house: Referenced to USEPA SW846-3005. Method 3005 is a Nitric/Hydrochloric acid digestion procedure

used to prepare surface and ground water samples for analysis by ICPAES or ICPMS. This method is compliant



In house: Referenced to USEPA SW 846 - 3510B 100 mL to 1L of sample is transferred to a separatory funnel

and serially extracted three times using 60mL DCM for each extract. The resultant extracts are combined,

dehydrated and concentrated for analysis. This method is compliant with NEPM (2013) Schedule B(3) . ALS
