Trans Mountain Corporation Site-Specific Management Plan – Coquitlam Industrial Area
Trans Mountain Expansion Project October 2020
1.0 INTRODUCTION
This Site-Specific Management Plan was developed for construction of the Trans Mountain Expansion
Project (TMEP or the Project) within the Coquitlam Industrial Area; referring specifically to the portion of the
pipeline, from KP 1168.85 to 1173.2, planned to be in the vicinity of United Boulevard in the 1000 – 2400
block of Coquitlam, British Columbia (BC) (Figure 1).
Ongoing communication may occur, as needed, between Trans Mountain Pipeline ULC (Trans Mountain),
stakeholders of the sites within the Coquitlam Industrial Area and other external parties (as necessary). These
consultation efforts will drive awareness of the construction activities, schedule and construction risks (originating
from potential contamination) as well as illustrating that appropriate risk mitigation measures are developed to
satisfy all parties prior to construction.
1.1 Background
As part of the Canada Energy Regulator (CER) Conditions for the TMEP, a Contamination Identification
and Assessment Plan (CIAP) was prepared to meet CER Condition 46 (Trans Mountain 2018; Filing ID
A90938). Within the CIAP, an inventory of potentially contaminated areas was created, and classified as
low-, moderate- or high-risk to describe the possibility of encountering contamination that requires
management within the Project footprint during planning, preparation and construction of the Project. Sites
identified within the CIAP as high-risk required a site-specific management plan to be developed to support
contamination management, while sites identified as low- or moderate-risk will be managed using the
chance find protocol during construction.
Table 1 presents a summary of the six properties, which, when combined for the purposes of this Plan, are
identified together as the “Coquitlam Industrial Area”.
TABLE 1
The high-, moderate- and low-risk CIAP site classifications are based on the review of multiple historical
site assessment reports. These include: approval in principle reports, notice of independent remediation
and confirmation of remediation reports, groundwater monitoring reports, Phase I Environmental
Assessments (ESAs) and conditional certificates of compliance. Refer to Section 3.0 for further summaries
of historical information for each of these sites.

Trans Mountain Expansion Project October 2020
1.1.1 Former Lougheed Warehouse and Terminal, 2381 Rogers Avenue, Coquitlam,
Site ID: 8345
The Former Lougheed Warehouse and Terminal Site is located at 2381 Rogers Avenue, Coquitlam, BC
north of the planned TMEP right-of-way from KP 1168.85 to 1169.15. The site was developed in 1978 as a
service industrial complex and the adjacent properties (north, east, south and west) have been industrial
since 1977 (ARO 2003). Truck and trailer maintenance work has occurred in the eastern part of the building.
In addition, diesel and oil underground storage tanks were located on the southeastern portion of the site.
Currently the site appears to be occupied by Corix Infrastructure Inc. and United Rentals (Google 2019).
The BC Site Registry ID for the site is 8345. Based on the review of the reports available through the BC
Site Registry, the Former Lougheed Warehouse and Terminal has been re-classified from high-risk to low-
risk to impact this section of the TMEP right-of-way (Trans Mountain 2018).
1.1.3 Great Canadian Casinos, 2100 United Boulevard, Coquitlam, Site ID: 9109
The Great Canadian Casino site is located at 2100 United Boulevard at KP 1169.9 to 1170.0. The site is
approximately 80 m north of the planned TMEP pipeline right-of-way. The Casino was developed on top of
the closed Former Leeder Landfill (discussed in subsection 1.2.2). The property has also been used as a
truck terminal (warehouse) and truck maintenance facility between 1975 and 2004. In 2004, before being
developed as part of the Casino expansion, it was used for overflow parking (Morrow 2004). Currently, the
site appears to be occupied by Hard Rock Casino and food restaurants (Google 2019). The BC Site Registry
ID for the Site is 9109. This site is considered moderate-risk based on the CIAP definition (Trans Mountain
2018).
1.1.4 Former Terra Nova Landfill, 1200 to 1988 United Boulevard, Coquitlam, Site
ID: N/A
The Former Terra Nova Landfill spans 1200 to 1988 United Boulevard, corresponding to KP 1170.0 to
1171.85. The planned TMEP right-of-way intersects through the northern portion of the Former Terra Nova
Landfill from east to west. The 60-ha landfill was constructed on virgin swamp land and was in operation
from 1965 to 1975 (Thurber 1989a). The lands that comprise the Former Terra Nova Landfill footprint are
currently used as an industrial park (primarily paved/road, and some road easement) (BGC 2016),
constructed over an initial fill thickness of 0.45 m (Atwater 1980). The Former Terra Nova Landfill accepted
mainly commercial/industrial waste, including hogfuel refuse (e.g., paper, plastic, metal wire and tin cans)
(Thurber 1989a). This site is considered high-risk based on the CIAP definition, given that landfill waste,
gas and leachate are likely to be encountered (Trans Mountain 2018).
1.1.5 Former Fraser Mills, 8 to 10 King Edward Street, Coquitlam, Site ID: 7829
The Former Fraser Mills site is located south of the planned TMEP right-of-way at 8-10 King Edward at KP
1171.85 to 1172.0 (Figure 3). The area of the site is approximately 2.5 ha and consists of one legal lot. Soil
stratigraphy is generally sandy fill material combined with landfill domestic waste and wood debris overlying

Trans Mountain Expansion Project October 2020
organic peat layer overlying native clay (CH2M 2017). The land surrounding the site is currently used for
commercial purposes (e.g., bakery and hair salon). The BC Site Registry ID is 7829. This site is considered
high-risk based on the CIAP definition, as known contamination has been documented and there is potential
to encounter contaminated fill. (Trans Mountain 2018).
1.1.6 Former Coquitlam Landfill, 1001 United Boulevard, Coquitlam, Site ID: 2194
The Former Coquitlam Landfill is located at 1001 United Boulevard and spans KP 1172.3 to 1173.2 (Figure
3). The following background information is based on the summary provided by Golder (2002) and AECOM
(2017). The Former Coquitlam Landfill is a 32.2 ha closed landfill owned by the Metro Vancouver. The
Former Coquitlam Landfill is bounded to the west by the Brunette River, to the south by a wood
manufacturing and preserving plant, to the east by a railway spur, Nelson Creek and industrial properties
and to the north by railroad tracks and Highway No. 1. Historically, the Former Coquitlam Landfill accepted
Municipal solid waste, demolition waste and industrial wood waste for disposal between 1973 and 1983
and received fly ash from the Burnaby Waste to Energy Facility (WTEF) into lined cells from 1991 to 1999.
Materials from the WTEF, biosolids from the Annacis Island Wastewater Treatment Plant, and other inert
materials (e.g., topsoil, yard waste) were used in recycling and development activities at the site.
A driving range and golf course has operated on the north portion of the Landfill since 1999. Wood waste
recycling occurred through to December 2016 in the southwest portion of the site. Metro Vancouver
constructed a transfer station, which required paving large areas within the southern portion of the site. The
ongoing work has been approved by the BC Ministry of Environment and Climate Change Strategy
(BC ENV) and is part of the closure plan (AECOM 2015). The BC Site Registry ID for the Site is 2194. This
site is considered high-risk based on the CIAP definition, given that landfill waste, gas and leachate could
potentially be encountered during pipeline construction (Trans Mountain 2018).

The scope of work included the following tasks for the Coquitlam Industrial Area:
• Identifying CoPCs
• At locations where historical assessment activities were completed, determining which, if any, of the
existing third-party monitoring wells may be affected by the planned construction activities.
• Reviewing and discussing general health and safety considerations of CoPCs including exposure
pathways and receptors, monitoring activities during construction, personal protective equipment (PPE)
and emergency response measures.
• Describing roles and responsibilities of all parties involved when historical contamination, or suspected
historical contamination is encountered (based on the Trans Mountain Environmental Field Guide –
Contamination Roles and Responsibilities document [Trans Mountain 2019])

Aquatic life water use applies to all groundwater located within 500 m of an aquatic receiving environment.
The Fraser River is 300 m to 800 m south of the pipeline right-of-way; therefore, standards to protect
groundwater flow to surface water used by freshwater aquatic life (AWF) use apply at all sites (within 500
m of the Fraser River). In addition, current and future protection of groundwater used as drinking water
(DW) use apply at the sites (within 500 m of the Fraser River). As a result of site conditions and location,
soil CoCs were compared to following site-specific factors while applying the matrix numerical BC CSR IL
standards:
• Schedule 3.1 – Part 1
• Schedule 3.1 – Part 2 and Part 3 (Generic Numerical Soil Standards to Protect
Human/Ecological Health)
CoC concentrations have also been compared to the Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment
(CCME) Canadian Environmental Quality Guidelines (CEQG) (CCME 2019) for soils for the protection of
environmental and human health.

TABLE 2
A summary of the most pertinent and recent reports for the sites listed in Table 2 is presented as follows.
3.1 Former Lougheed Warehouse and Terminal, 2381 Rogers Avenue, Coquitlam,
Site ID: 8345
ARO Environmental (2003) completed remedial excavation at the Former Lougheed Warehouse and
Terminal in 2003. The objective of the remedial excavation was to remove petroleum hydrocarbon
contamination associated with former used oil and diesel tanks. The CoCs to the Former Lougheed
Warehouse and Terminal were light extractable petroleum hydrocarbon (LEPH) and heavy extractable
petroleum hydrocarbon (HEPH) associated with the former used oil tank basin. Field observations indicated
that the contamination was present at approximately 2.5 to 4.8 mbgs. The excavation involved removal and
off-site disposal of approximately 400 tonnes of damp, sandy silt exhibiting a strong petroleum odour and
discoloration. The LEPH and HEPH tested in groundwater following the remedial excavation was less than
the BC CSR Aquatic Life (AW) use standard and soil concentrations were less than the BC CSR IL standard
with the exception of one sample that exceeded HEPH. That one sample with the exceedance was located
below the concrete ramp (north of the site building, approximately 60 m from the TMEP right-of-way).

Trans Mountain Corporation Site-Specific Management Plan – Coquitlam Industrial Area
Trans Mountain Expansion Project October 2020
3.3 Great Canadian Casinos, 2100 United Boulevard, Coquitlam, Site ID: 9109
Morrow Environmental Consultants completed a Notification of Independent Remediation (NIR) form for
the Great Canadian Casino site in 2004. The form indicated that independent remediation would commence
in September 2004 to a depth of approximately 2.7 mbgs; however, no further information is available on
the form or the BC Site Registry regarding the CoCs. The Great Canadian Casinos site is located fully
within the extent of the Former Leeder Landfill. The moderate-risk classification was the result of the NIR
registered for the site.
3.4 Former Terra Nova Landfill, 1200 to 1988 United Boulevard, Coquitlam, Site
ID: N/A
Thurber Consultants Ltd. (Thurber) conducted a contaminant investigation at the Former Terra Nova
Landfill which spans the area of 1200 – 1988 United Boulevard in Coquitlam (Figure 4). The Terra Nova
Landfill site was operated from 1965 to 1975 and originally was started on virgin swamp land (Thurber
1989a). Landfill operations between 1969 and 1972 were unrestricted in terms of materials disposed
(Thurber 1989a). Hogfuel (wood waste) was stored on-site and solid Municipal waste from Municipalities
(Burnaby, Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, New Westminster and Port Moody) was mixed with hogfuel,
compacted and filled on-site (Thurber 1989a). Granular fill was used to cover the solid waste/hogfuel
mixture. Waste processed during the period of 1969 to 1972 was characterized as approximately 60%
solid Municipal waste and 40% industrial wastes by weight (Thurber 1989a). In addition, industrial source
chemical wastes were disposed in drums on-site (Thurber 1989a). Tank sludges were used to oil site
roads and there was localized disposal of waste engine lubricants and hydraulic fluids (Thurber 1989b).
Thurber conducted investigations regarding contaminant distribution and a soil gas geochemical
investigation in 1989, no soil or groundwater chemical data were reported. Based on information
presented by Thurber, the Former Terra Nova Landfill had a history of leachate problems that were
detrimental to fish and was reported to degrade local on-site creek quality (Thurber 1989a).
3.5 Former Fraser Mills, 8 to 10 King Edward Street, Coquitlam, Site ID: 7829
The Former Fraser Mills site was used for lumber storage from circa 1900s to 1967. Glulam Products
produced laminated lumber products at the site from 1967 to 1975 (CH2M 2017). The Stage 2 Preliminary
Site Investigation/Detailed Site Investigation conducted by Golder in 2002 concluded that the hydrocarbon
contamination at the site is a random occurrence not directly related to operations at site but associated
with the wood waste/refuse material imported to the site as part of site filling operations (Golder 2003a).
Golder also reported an extensive presence of refuse likely from historical dumping of garbage and wood
waste. In the garbage and wood waste, the presence of elevated metals and hydrocarbon concentrations
were also identified (Golder 2003a). Chlorobenzene concentrations in groundwater at two locations
exceeded the BC CSR standards (Golder 2003a).
A conditional Certificate of Compliance for risk-based monitoring was issued in 2004 for the Former Fraser
Mills site (BC MOE 2004). In soil, the contaminants for which the Certificate of Compliance was prepared
include: volatile petroleum hydrocarbons (VPHs), LEPH, HEPH, xylene, 1,2 dichlorobenzene and inorganic
substances (arsenic, barium, cadmium, chromium, copper, lead, silver, tin and zinc) according to risk-based
standards. Groundwater contaminants for which the Certificate of Compliance was prepared include:
chlorobenzene and cis-1,2-dichloroethylene as per risk-based standards (BC MOE 2004).

Trans Mountain Expansion Project October 2020
In 2016, CH2M HILL Energy Canada, Ltd. (now Jacobs) performed a drilling investigation to evaluate soil
and groundwater quality in the northern portion of the site (i.e., that portion of the property that is located
within the TMEP footprint). CoCs in soil exceeding the BC CSR IL standards in soil adjacent to the TMEP
right-of-way were: HEPH and total metals including barium, cadmium, chromium, copper, lead, zinc, arsenic
and benzene. CoCs in groundwater included 1,4-dichlorobenzene.
3.6 Former Coquitlam Landfill, 1001 United Boulevard, Coquitlam, Site ID: 2194
Golder completed an ESA, risk assessment and remediation plan for the former Coquitlam Landfill in 2002.
Golder identified and investigated 12 areas of potential environmental concern (APECs). Potentially-
impacted media included: landfill materials, landfill gas, shallow soil gas, landfill surface water, groundwater,
surface water in adjacent water courses and sediment. A wide range of CoPCs were identified and analyzed
for, including: metals, inorganics, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH), extractable petroleum
hydrocarbons (EPHs), benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylene (BTEX), chlorophenols and volatile
organic compounds (VOCs).
To fulfill the BC ENV landfill permit (issued in 1976 and amended in 1980), AECOM conducted groundwater
monitoring programs from 2012 to 2017 at the request of Metro Vancouver (AECOM 2017). Monitoring
wells that were sampled included: six shallow wells (< 4 m), four intermediate-depth wells
(4 to 9 m), seven deep wells (> 9 m) and four leachate mound wells.
The risk assessment conduced by Golder (2002), indicated that under the current and assumed future land
uses (upgraded IL and or CL use) the potential risks to human and ecological health are within acceptable
limits, assuming that risk management controls are maintained, and improvements controls are
implemented. Risk management controls consist of a 1 to 3 m silty till cap placed in 1982 and 1987, as well
as treated sewer sludge mixed with clean soil as a cover over the north half of the landfill, a perimeter
leachate control system, a site-wide landfill gas extraction system, and a landfill gas interceptions and
control system for the golf course club house (Golder 2002). Recently, an AIP Performance Verification
Report was prepared by AECOM (2017) regarding the plan to develop a Municipal waste transfer station
facility on the south side of the landfill.
The following exceedances at the former Coquitlam Landfill were identified relative to BC CSR IL standards
in landfill material (i.e., fly and bottom ash) and in soil samples: arsenic, cadmium, chromium, copper, lead,
mercury, selenium, molybdenum, tin, zinc and PAH.
The following exceedances relative to BC CSR AW use standards for landfill groundwater were identified:
• Landfill groundwater (perched): ammonia, sulphate, benzo(a)pyrene, pyrene, and LEPH, chloride,
sodium, aluminum, biological oxygen demand and chemical oxygen demand
• Shallow groundwater adjacent to the Landfill: ammonia, silver, benzo(a)pyrene and pyrene; ammonia;
ammonia and silver were not considered significant due to the marginal exceedances relative to the
BC CSR AW use standards (Golder 2002)

Drainage through the former Coquitlam Landfill occurs as follows (as summarized by AECOM [AECOM
2018]):
• from the south ditch at the southwest corner of the site towards Nelson Creek
• through ditches and storm sewers along the United Boulevard extension that drain
roadway storm waters through filtration ponds prior to discharge into Brunette River and
Nelson Creek
Temporary flow reversals induced by tidal fluctuations were also noted in a portion of the Brunette River to
the west of the Landfill (AECOM 2018). Drainage through the Former Terra Nova Landfill is directed through
Mill Creek to the west and through Como Creek/Popeye Creek to the east (BGC 2016). According to
Atwater (1980), both of these creeks exhibit flow reversal at their mouths by high stages on the Fraser
River. Drainage may also occur directly into the Fraser River along the southern boundary (Atwater 1980).
Drainage through the Former Leeder Landfill occurred to the south, following natural topography, and the
principal surface flow was directed through a surface ditch to the Fraser River along the east side of the
original property (Atwater 1980).
The surficial geology description of the Fraser Lowland was based on the summaries in Armstrong (1984)
and Golder (2002), and the maps provided by the Government of BC (2019b). The surficial deposits consist
of a complex package of Quaternary deposits, categorized from youngest to oldest as follows: postglacial,
postglacial and Pleistocene, and Pleistocene. The postglacial deposits comprise the Salish sediments
(landfill, bog, marine and lowland deposits) and the Fraser River sediments (deltaic and channel fil
sediments). The postglacial and Pleistocene deposits comprise marine and fluvial sands. The Pleistocene
deposits comprise the Sumas Drift (outwash and deltaic deposits), the Fort Langley Formation (glacial and
deltaic sediments), the Capilano Sediments (marine, deltaic and alluvial deposits), the Vashon Drift
(glaciofluvial and glaciolacustrine deposits), and the Pre-Vachon Drift (nonglacial and glaciomarine
deposits).
The regional low is the Fraser River, at sea level, and the regional high ranges from approximately 90 to
150 masl, approximately 1 km north of the Area. It can be inferred that regional groundwater in the area will
flow south towards the Fraser River which flows into the Strait of Georgia (an arm of the Pacific Ocean).

• Fraser River Sediments through entire Area: overbank silty to silt loam (up to 2-m-thick)
that overlies a thick (greater than 15 m) deltaic and distributary channel fill sandy to silt
loam
• Pre-Vachon Deposits to the west: fluvial channel fill and floodplain sands and silts with
gravel interbeds
These Quaternary sediments overlie Kitsilano Formation Tertiary sedimentary rocks, which comprise
conglomerate, sandstone and shale, with lesser basalt flows, sills and minor pyroclastics (Government of
BC 2019b).
Stratigraphy throughout the area was defined in several investigations (from east to west): ARO
Environmental (2003) for the Former Lougheed Warehouse and Terminal; BGC Engineering (2016) for the
Former Leeder Landfill, Great Canadian Casinos, and Former Terra Nova Landfill; CH2M (2017) for the
Former Fraser Mills; and Golder (2002) for the Coquitlam Landfill.
For the Former Lougheed Warehouse and Terminal area, stratigraphy was defined based on a single
representative boring (BH-13). An approximate 2-m-thick layer of sand fill was intersected directly below
the surface. The fill was underlain by an approximate 1-m-thick layer of sandy silty loam, which was in turn
underlain by a fine silty sand.
For the Former Leeder Landfill, the stratigraphy is approximately 0.1 to 0.9 m of peat on the northern portion
of the site which overlays 1.5 to 2.4 m of silt and clay that overlays sand and silt. The Great Canadian
Casino site situated on the northwest corner of the Former Leeder Landfill is assumed to have similar
stratigraphy.
For the Former Terra Nova Landfill, the stratigraphy is peat overlying silt and peat, overlying loose silt and
sands, overlying dense sands and overlying marine clay silt that overlays dense glacial till. It has also been
classified as discontinuous peat and organic silt, overlying silt and sands, overlying glacial deposits of sand,
gravel and till.
For the Former Fraser Mills area, stratigraphy was defined by three borings drilled along the TMEP right-
of-way (MW16-C-1, MW16-C-2 and MW16-C-3).The first stratum intersected was a 0.75-m-thick to
1.25-m-thick layer of granular fill (predominantly sand and gravel). The fill was underlain by landfill,
consisting of wood refuse organic fill, and ranged from 0.75-m-thick to 2-m-thick from east to west; domestic
waste (plastic, aluminum, steel, glass and paper) and was mixed with the granular fill interval at location
MW16-C-2, and with the wood refuse interval at location MW16-C-3. A native peat layer ranging from
0.6-m-thick to 1-m-thick layer of peat was underlain by clay.
For the Coquitlam Landfill area, the stratigraphy was defined by numerous drilling programs from 1995 to
2001. The first stratigraphic unit interested was landfill materials, consisting of refuse, fly ash, bottom ash,
Nutrifor (a mixture of treated sewage sludge and topsoil) and mineral soils. Discontinuous fill was
intersected adjacent to the perimeter of the landfill, consisting of re-worked native silts and organic soils
with occasional pockets of sand and gravel. An approximately 1.5-m-thick layer of discontinuous native
peat and organics was intersected (interpreted as Salish Sediments) in the north and east portions of the
site. The peat and organics are underlain by fine-grained overbank deposits, consisting of silt with trace
clay and sand. This package ranged in thickness from 6 m to 15 m, thinning towards the Fraser River. The
overbank deposits are underlain by the Fraser River sands, which range in thickness from 6 m to 11 m and
are closer to surface toward the Fraser River.

Due to the heterogeneity of these stratigraphic units, several hydrostratigraphic units have been
conceptualized in previous reports for the Coquitlam Landfill (e.g., Golder 2002 and AECOM 2018). In the
most recent report done by AECOM (2018) for the Coquitlam Landfill, the following hydrostratigraphic units
were defined:
For the shallow aquifer, groundwater flow was interpreted to be affected by subsurface utilities, local
drainage (e.g., creeks), surface water ponding and tidal fluctuations. Therefore, there is a general north to
south flow with local flow components toward the Brunette River and Nelson Creek. Groundwater is
expected to flow vertically through the intermediate aquitard into the underlying deep aquifer. Groundwater
was determined to flow south toward the Fraser River within the deep aquifer, with horizontal gradients of
0.0004 m/m to 0.001 m/m (AECOM 2018). The hydraulic conductivity for the deep aquifer was determined
by Golder (1996) to be 2.0x10-4 m/s, which is consistent with literature values for medium-grained sands.
Given the lenticular nature of the peat/organics unit (Salish Sediments), this unit may not extend through
the entire area and was reported as becoming thinner and possibly not present in the southern portion of
the Coquitlam Landfill (Golder 2002) and an apparent lack of surficial peat or organics at the former Leeder
Landfill (Atwater 1980). The underlying stratigraphic units (intermediate and deep hydrostratigraphic units)
are assumed to be laterally continuous (east to west) throughout the area; although, their thicknesses may
vary.
For the Former Lougheed Warehouse and Terminal area, no proper groundwater measurements were
reported; however, boring log BH 13 indicates “wet at 3.8 mbgs”, which corresponds to an approximate
groundwater elevation of 2.2 masl (assuming ground surface elevation at 6 masl) (ARO 2003). For the
Leeder Landfill the aquifer ranges approximately 3.0 masl to 4.0 masl (similar ranges are expected at the
Former Great Canadian Casino site which is located on the northwest corner).
The neighbouring Terra Nova Landfill also has groundwater at approximately 3.0 masl to 4.0 masl. For
the Former Fraser Mills area, groundwater monitoring results from December 20 and 21, 2016 (CH2M
2017) indicate the shallow groundwater potentiometric surface was present at a depth of approximately
2 mbgs (3.5 masl; assuming average ground surface elevation of 5.5 masl) and was relatively level from
east to west. Groundwater was present within wood refuse and peat in a shallow aquifer bound by an
underlying layer of clay; the depth to the top of the clay interval ranges from 3.1 to 4 mbgs. For the
Coquitlam Landfill, groundwater elevations reported by AECOM (2018) for the shallow aquifer ranged
from approximately 0.7 masl to 2.4 masl, and from approximately 0.1 masl to 0.9 masl for the deep
aquifer.
Considering the hydrogeological conditions at all four sites: the shallow aquifer was present throughout
the western portion of the TMEP right-of-way, and groundwater elevations vary with topography and local
drainage; and, though it was only encountered at the Coquitlam Landfill, the deep aquifer is expected to
extend throughout the whole Project area, where the top depth of this unit is defined by the depth and
thicknesses of the intermediate silt aquitard.

Relevant information on CoPCs and CoCs potential health effects is provided in Table 15. Figure 2 and
Figure 3 summarizes soil and groundwater CoPCs and CoCs for the sites in the Coquitlam Industrial Area.
5.1 Former Lougheed Warehouse and Terminal, 2381 Rogers Avenue, Coquitlam
Contaminants of Potential Concern and Contaminants of Concern
The historical soil CoCs identified at the 2381 Rogers Avenue site includes LEPH and HEPH. Prior to the
remedial investigation, the maximum concentrations of LEPH and HEPH were 2,756 µg/g and 24,346 µg/g.
Confirmatory soil samples (20) were submitted for analysis and compared to the applicable BC CSR IL
standards. Of the confirmatory soil samples collected, 2 of the 20 exceeded the BC CSR for HEPH. Soil
exceeding CSR IL standards located beneath a concrete ramp attached to the building, approximately 50 m
north of the right-of-way, was left in place.
One soil sample from the new fill material was also submitted for metals analysis and no exceedances were
identified. It was noted that the volume of soil remaining on-site that exceeds the BC CSR IL standards for
HEPH is approximately 10 m3 and has a low-risk to human health or the environment given the low mobility
and solubility of the contaminants present (ARO 2003). Table 3 shows the soil parameters at 2381 Rogers
Avenue Coquitlam. Given the location of the residual soil (approximately 50 m from the right-of-way), HEPH
in soil is not a CoC for the purposes of the TMEP construction.
TABLE 3
The historical groundwater CoCs identified at the 2381 Rogers Avenue site were LEPH and HEPH.
However, from the most recent groundwater data concentrations of these parameters were all less than BC
CSR IL standards for LEPH and HEPH, and therefore met the applicable standard (ARO 2003). Table 4
shows the groundwater parameters at 2381 Rogers Avenue Coquitlam.

Contaminants of Potential Concern and Contaminants of Concern
The area from 1200 to 1988 United Boulevard, Coquitlam, encompasses the former Terra Nova Landfill
(Figure 4). Background research and field investigations were conducted by Thurber in 1989 (1989a,

1989b, 1989c). No soil or groundwater chemical data were reported from the monitoring wells installed
during a geotechnical investigation completed by Thurber in 1990 along the TMEP right-of-way (MW-9A/9B
and MW-20; Drawing No. 01 of BGC 2016). Despite the limited information for this area, there are potential
impacts that may require some level of soil and groundwater management during the TMEP right-of-way
construction. These parameters were mentioned in reports written by Thurber (1989a,1989b,1989c).
Based on the refuse materials present in the Former Terra Nova Landfill, described in Section 1.2.4, soil
CoPCs include: metals, hydrocarbons (including BTEX, LEPH, HEPH, PAHs, VPH), PCBs, VOCs, glycols,
phenols (chlorinated and non-chlorinated), PFOS, PFOA, NMOC, ions (bromide, fluoride, chloride), TOC
and radioactive materials. Table 7 shows the soil parameters at 1200 to 1988 United Boulevard Coquitlam.

As both soil and groundwater CoCs and CoPCs have been identified in the Coquitlam Industrial Area, the
potential exposure pathways would be direct dermal contact, and ingestion. In addition, as some of the
CoCs/CoPCs are volatile, inhalation is also considered a potential exposure pathway. Relevant information

The extent of the planned TMEP right-of-way within the Coquitlam Industrial Area is shown in Figure 2
through Figure 4. Spatially from east to west, the planned TMEP right-of-way footprint is located adjacent
to the south of the Former Lougheed Warehouse and terminal site, runs through the Former Leeder Landfill,
approximately 80 m south of the Great Canadian Casino site, runs through the Former Terra Nova Landfill,
runs through northern end of the Former Fraser Mills site and then runs through the eastern and northern
ends of the Former Coquitlam Landfill site.
Two options under current consideration for construction of the pipeline through the Coquitlam Industrial
Area are: (1) trenching; and/or (2) a trenchless installation method (e.g., Guided Horizontal Auger Bore
[GHAB], etc).
The trenching construction method would use Nominal Pipe Size (NPS) of 36-inches, or 914 mm. Based
on the previously mentioned NPS specifications, a trench approximately 2.25-m-wide, 3-m-deep and
4,375-m-long would be required for constructing the pipeline in the Coquitlam Industrial Area. Adding
approximately 30% to the volume to account for the lateral extensions/pipe curvature, an estimated volume
of soil to be excavated for pipeline installation in in the Coquitlam Industrial Area is approximately
38,400 m3. Note, the 4,375 m length was calculated along the TMEP right-of-way from the east side of the
Former Lougheed Warehouse and Terminal Site, to the northwestern portion of the Former Coquitlam
Landfill, along the TMEP right-of-way. A geotechnical (BGC 2016) report discusses foundation options to
support the planned pipeline where it crosses over waste, to limit or prevent settlement. These options
include: floating of pipe in/over waste; excavation/replacement of waste down to native competent soils and
localised supporting of the pipe on stone columns or pile foundations (BGC 2016).
The trenchless installation method would involve a cylindrical bore with diameter of either 36 inches
(0.914 m) or 42 inches (1.066 m) over portions of the 4,375-m length of installation within the Coquitlam
Industrial Area. Based on the cylindrical bore diameter used, the approximate volume of soil to be removed
from the Coquitlam Industrial Area is 2870 m3 for a 36-inch diameter and 3,905 m3 for a 42-inch diameter.
Note, as with the trenching method, the 4,375 m length was calculated along the TMEP right-of-way from
the east side of the Former Lougheed Warehouse and Terminal Site, to the northwestern portion of the
Former Coquitlam Landfill, along the TMEP right-of-way. Use of this method would reduce the total
estimated excavation volume calculated for the trenched method for the segments where it may be
employed.

Trans Mountain Corporation Site-Specific Management Plan – Coquitlam Industrial Area
Trans Mountain Expansion Project October 2020
TABLE 16
Depending upon the state of the wells and in consultation with the well owners, re-location or
decommissioning (temporarily or permanently), or both, may be required to facilitate construction activities.
Re-location (if applicable) may depend upon the construction method used (excavation and trenching or
trenchless), and Trans Mountain Operations requirements for placing groundwater monitoring wells in
proximity to the TMEP pipeline.
For the Coquitlam landfill, Metro Vancouver is required to conduct water quality monitoring in accordance
with the BC ENV landfill permit (PR-4385) (AECOM 2018), which was issued in 1976 and amended in 1980;
therefore, monitoring wells may require re-location to maintain compliance with the monitoring permit.

Trans Mountain Corporation Site-Specific Management Plan – Coquitlam Industrial Area
Trans Mountain Expansion Project October 2020
Loading segregated contaminated soil directly into trucks or roll-off bins for off-site disposal (also referred
to as hot loading) is the preferred handling procedure for managing excavated contaminated material.
To prevent further potential contamination and/or cross-contamination of soil and groundwater at the
Coquitlam Industrial Area, an equipment decontamination process is recommended during construction
activities. Standard equipment sanitation is recommended, and which will include mechanical removal of
packed dirt, grit and debris by scraping and brushing, in accordance with the requirements in the Pipeline
Environmental Protection Plan (CER Condition 72).
If temporary stockpiling of contaminated soil is necessary during construction, the following should be taken
into account:
• Health and Safety Considerations: CoCs/CoPCs are present in soil and groundwater at the Coquitlam
Industrial Area oil particles may migrate off-site during a large rainfall and/or snowmelt event or may be
blown off-site in dry weather. Durable polyethylene or vinyl tarp material should be available to cover
any contaminated material stockpiles , with sandbags or other heavy items to sufficiently weigh down
the tarps and prevent blow-away.
• Stockpile Regulatory Considerations: signage, fencing, containment, sloping and covering of stockpile
materials must comply with applicable Project and regulatory requirements.
Groundwater levels for the shallows aquifer (approximately 4-m-thick) are as follows: 2.2 masl for the
Former Lougheed Warehouse and Terminal site; 3.0 to 4.0 masl for the Former Leeder Landfill (including
the Great Canadian Casino site) and Terra Nova Landfill footprints; 3.5 masl for the Former Fraser Mills
site; and 0.7 masl to 2.4 masl at the Former Coquitlam Landfill. A holding tank for potential temporary
storage of groundwater may need to be placed on-site during construction activities. Options to manage
contaminated groundwater encountered during excavation include removal using a vacuum truck and
disposal off-site at a licensed waste receiving facility, as necessary, or on-site water treatment systems.
For small volumes, vacuum truck and disposal is preferred, however in the case of high-water quantities,
on-site treatment may be the preferred option.
Risks due to incidental ingestion or dermal contact of soil or groundwater can be mitigated by following
good hygiene practices (washing hands and face before drinking or eating) and wearing appropriate PPE
as outlined herein.
01-13283-S7-M002-EV-PLN-0005
Page 28
Trans Mountain Corporation Site-Specific Management Plan – Coquitlam Industrial Area
Trans Mountain Expansion Project October 2020
To mitigate vapour inhalation risks during construction activities, a vapour monitoring program will be
developed by a contamination or industrial hygiene specialist which will be implemented by the construction
contractor at the Coquitlam Industrial Area. The monitoring program will include air quality threshold limits
and the mitigations required if those limits are approached . The monitoring program will include the
parameters of H2S and combustible landfill gas at a minimum.
Prior to construction, daylighting will be completed in the area. Soil samples collected during this process
will be field screened and samples will be analysed for a select primary suite of compounds listed in Table
17 to confirm or refute the presence of PCOCs in the specific location. Further, when trenching/construction
activities are occurring, if specific waste types are encountered and visible (electrical waste, perfluoronated
compounds including foams, and/or coatings, etc.) the additional secondary suite of analyses listed in Table
17 may need to be considered and submitted for further analyses. Tables 17 and Table 18 can be used to
direct the primary and secondary (if applicable) suite of confirmatory analyses that should be performed,
depending upon where the potential contaminated soil or groundwater is identified. The recommended
analyses may be adjusted as sampling progresses and analytical results are reviewed, and analytical
results are reviewed to determine the CoCs from the CoPCs.

Completing these analyses will support proper management of soil disposal. Additionally, samples should
be submitted to an accredited laboratory for analysis of Class II Landfill characterization or other parameters
appropriate for the disposal method and receiver requirements.
TABLE 18
The recommended primary suite, and secondary suite of additional/potential (if applicable) groundwater
and surface water analyses are based on historical CoCs. The recommended primary suite of analyses
may be adjusted as sampling progresses and analytical results are reviewed to determine the CoCs from
the CoPCs Sampling will be conducted if contaminated water is encountered during construction and/or
significant rainfall/snowmelt events occur during construction activities in the Coquitlam Industrial Area and
dewatering is necessary. If contaminated groundwater is identified during construction and dewatering is
required, the extracted water disposal options may include one of the following; characterization, treatment,
if contaminated, and release; release without treatment if not contaminated; or disposal at a facility with or
without characterization, as necessary.
Groundwater and/or surface water run-off collected and stored in a temporary holding tank at the Coquitlam
Industrial Area or pumped directly in a vacuum truck may be disposed of at an approved Trans Mountain
facility, as necessary. Additional analysis and approvals may be required for disposal.
Should additional soil sampling conducted during construction activities indicate that the soil is unsuitable
for disposal at a Class II landfill facility (leachable CoPC concentrations exceed the applicable guidelines),
the soil must be transported to a hazardous waste facility for disposal.

through Part 3) (BC ENV 2019) for IL use. A sufficient number of samples should be
submitted (approximately one composite sample for every 250 m3 of material according to BC ENV
Technical Guidance Document 1 “Site Characterization and Confirmation Testing”) to an accredited
laboratory for analysis of BTEX/VPH, LEPH/HEPH/PAHs, VOCs, metals and salinity parameters (BC
MOE 2009).
With the pipeline trench extending through areas of contaminated soil and groundwater, a potential arises
regarding creating a preferential pathway and minimizing the potential for contaminant migration.
Potential mitigation measures to minimize contaminant migration potentially resulting from introducing the
pipeline into the area include creating low permeability barriers or plugs. These low permeability barriers
would be installed across the full cross-section of the pipeline trench to minimize migration of
groundwater through the more permeable bedding material beyond a given area of contamination. The
design criteria would include using low permeability material (on the order 10-8 m/s) to create these
barriers. Materials that can effectively meet this low permeability design criteria include compacted clay,
concrete, controlled density fill, bentonite slurries and unshrinkable fill. As such, a ditch breaker barrier
will be installed at the beginning and end points at each former landfill site within the Coquitlam Area,
where the pipeline bore, or trench is at a depth below the groundwater table and where surrounding
soils are of generally continuous fine-grained material. This will limit potential lateral migration along the
right-of-way wall outside of the landfill areas.

TABLE 19 (cont'd)
Although there remains a level of uncertainty with the CoCs that do not have data regarding compatibility,
most of the CoCs received a “good” or “excellent” chemical compatibility rating, when compared with carbon
steel. In addition, penetration rates indicated a relatively low rate of penetration of carbon steel for the
chemicals with data available. Where information is available, the assessment is considered conservative,
since the Graco Chemical Compatibility Guide evaluates the characteristics of the pure chemical form with
the pipeline material, as opposed to the “diluted” chemicals in soil and/or groundwater. However, it should
be noted that the compatibility guide does not account for secondary effects potentially posed by chemical
mixtures in the soil or groundwater, or both.

• For soil: direct contact (e.g., ingestion, dermal contact), vapour inhalation, particulate inhalation and
off-site migration.
• For groundwater: direct contact (e.g., ingestion, dermal contact) and vapour inhalation. Groundwater
exposures are considered unlikely, or short in duration, as excavations are typically dewatered to
mitigate stability issues.
The human exposure pathways for the CoCs at the Coquitlam Industrial Area include incidental ingestion
of soil or groundwater, vapour inhalation or absorption through skin or inhalation. The potential for incidental
ingestion should not present a concern if good hygiene practices are followed (e.g., wash hands and face
before drinking or eating), and if dust in the area of excavation is managed. Exposures to soil CoCs are
also possible through skin absorption and inhalation. These routes of exposure are minimized through use
of personal engineering controls, administrative controls and the proper use of PPE. Specific PPE
requirements will need to be developed by the construction Contractor.
In addition to the CoCs, gaseous hazards relating to decomposition of landfill material may be present.
These hazards, including methane and H2S, will require monitoring and mitigation plans to be completed
and implemented by the construction Contractor.
