EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Associated Engineering (B.C.) Ltd. has been retained by Defence

Construction (1951) Limited to undertake an environmental impact study at
the Cadin-Pinetree site, CFS Baldy Hughes, British Columbia, scheduled for
closure in 1988. The objectives of the project are summarized as
follows:
Conduct a site assessment and investigation for the developme nt of a
hazardous material inventory.
Establish site cleanup criteria.
Prepare a site cleanup program and post site cleanup inspection.
Final deposition of the site and facilities has not been determined at
this time. It is hoped that the facilities will be purchased by the
province or by other groups for reuse.
Due to this uncertainty, the cleanup plan considers two scenarios:
Scenario 1 - Complete Decommissioning and, Scenario 2 - Site Reuse.
The site assessment concluded that leakage of PCB fluid from a transformer
at the operations site has led to an area of significant soil
contamination. The area wi 11 require a special cleanup procedure. The
practice of disposing of waste crankcase oil from the diesel gensets at
the power plant over the mountain side during the first 25 years of site
operation has resulted in an area of oil-contamination. The oil, however,
has weathered and does not present a hazard to the downstream water
course. Complete decommi ssi oni ng and restoration of the site, termed
Scena r io 1 in this study, will involve primarily the removal of structures
and facilities and restoration of the sites to their "natural" condition .
The estimated budget cost for complete decommissioning and restoration cf
the site is $2,400,000.
Scenario 2, Site Reuse, would require a more limited degree of
restoration, the exact extent of which will depend upon the site reuse and
the conditions of the sale or transfer. The min imum required work unde r
Scenario 2 would include:
1. Cleanup PCB spill from transformers at operations site.
2. Remove and store PCB contaminated equipment associated with radar
installation and power distribution.
3. Demolish Building 50 and remove contaminated soil from beneath the
building, as required.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND
Associated Engineering (B.C.) Ltd. has been retained by Defence
Construction (1951) Limited to undertake an environmental impact
study at the Cadin-Pinetree site, CFS Baldy Hughes, British
Columbia, scheduled for closure in 1988. The objectives of the
project are summarized as follows:
Conduct a site assessment and investigation for the developmen t
of a hazardous material inventory.
Establish site cleanup criteria.
Prepare a site cleanup program and post site cleanup
inspection.
Final deposition of the site and facilities has not been determined
at this time. It is hoped that the facilities will be purchased by
the province or by other groups for reuse.
Due to this uncertainty, the cleanup plan considers two scenarios:
Scenario 1 - Complete Decommissioning and, Scenario 2 - Site Reuse.
1.2 STUDY APPROACH
The methodology and scope of work for the project were based on the
consultant briefing notes, the briefing meeting in Ottawa, and
Associated Engineering's subsequent proposal dated February 7,
1987.
The original time table for the project would have seen the field
investigation carried out during November 1986. Due to snow cover
at the site and the difficulty in soil and water quality monitoring,
the project was rescheduled to allow site investigations to be
carried out in April 1987 with draft report submission by June 30,
1987. The revision of the schedule allowed groundwater/soil
sampling to be carried out at the optimum time following snowmelt.
The specific objectives of the project were to:
- 1 -
ASSOCIATED ~
ENGINEERING I~
Carry out a site assessment and investigation to identify all
possib 1e types and extent of contamination concerns includ in g
soil and water sampling where required.
Establish site cleanup criteria based on site assessment data
after consultation with provincial and federal environment
officials to identify relevant regulations.
Prepare a site cleanup plan including estimated dollar value for
the complete dismantling/restoration of the site.
Carry out the inspection of the station after either disposal or
dismantling to confirm the closure plan has been complied with.
The methodology employed was based on the Guide to the Environmental
Aspects of Decommissioning Industrial Sites, Monenco, 1985 (l)* and
the draft example clean up plan supplied with the terms of
reference. The key elements were as follows:
.1 Carry out an initial site reconnaissance immediately following
project briefing in Ottawa to establish contact with key base
personnel to conduct a preliminary tour of the station •
•2 Determine the degree of soil/water sampling required and
formulate a proposed study approach for approval by Department
of National Defense •
•3 Carry out detailed site investigation including a building-by-
building survey, interviews with base personnel, soil sampling,
and exploritory investigation and groundwater sampling at the
1andfi11 sites •
•4 Es tab 1i sh site cleanup criteria based on site assessment and
monitoring results and discussion with Federal and Provincial
government agencies .
•5 Prepare a site cleanup plan based on two scenarios: Scenario 1
- Complete Decommissioning and, Scenario 2 - Site Reuse .
•6 Submit a draft report to Department of National Defence .
•7 Obtain comments for review agencies .
•8 Submit the final report.

The intent of the methodology and the degree of monitoring detail
was to identify potentially hazardous materials and areas of site
contamination. The program was not intended to fully delineate site
contamination, but rather to identify whether a significant concern
exists. If potentially si gni fi cant contamination was found to
exist, recommendations for further work to fully delineate the
extent of contamination and to determine methods of restoration
would be presented.
1.3 LOCATION AND SITE DESCRIPTION
CFS Baldy Hughes is situated 40 km southwest of Prince George, B.C.
(Figure 1-1). Access to the site is via Hwy. 16 and a paved
connecting road to the domestic site.
The climate is marked by cool summers and cold winters . Average
temperatures for the warmest month (July), and the coldest month
(January) are 15°C and -12°C, respectively. The annual rainfall is
approximately 40 cm, 60 percent of which falls in the months of June
through September, inclusive. The average annual snowfall is
233 cm.
The domestic site lies at an elevation of El. 900 m on the east
slope of Mount Baldy Hughes. The operation site is located on Mount
Baldy Hughes at an elevation of El. 1130 m, approximately 1 km west
of the domestic site. The GATR site, El. 1080, is located on a
knoll approximately 0.8 km north of the operation site.
The station consists of four properties, as shown in Figure 1-2.
The largest property, 67 ha in area, contains the domestic or lower
site. The operations (upper) and the GATR sites have a combined
total area of 11.2 ha. The current landfill site is a 4.i ha site,
located north of the domestic site. In addition to the above, road
easements and rights-of-way, totally 15 ha, have been established to
provide access between the domestic, operations, and GATR sites.
1.4 OPERATIONAL HISTORY
The station was constructed to augment the Cadin-Pinetree chain and
to provide aircraft control and warning to the Air Defence System of
North America.
The station was designed and constructed by the American Armed
Forces. The buildings were constructed in 1954 and the radar and
communications systems installed in 1954.
- 3 -
ASSOCIATED ~
ENGINEERING I~
On April 1, 1962, the Royal Canadian Air Force accepted
responsibility for manning the station. Upon redesignation to a
Radar Squadron, the station became Canadian Forces Sta ti on Baldy
Hughes.
The station currently employs 121 military and 65 civilian staff.

The primary role of CFS Ba 1dy Hughes is to collect, discriminate,
and transmit radar data within the station area. The facility also
provides and maintains radio transmission and reception facilities
in support of the Air Defence of North America. In April 1985, the
Minister of National Defence announced the closu r e of the majority
of the Cadin-Pinetree radar station, including CFS Baldy Hughes.
The station will complete operations in April 1988 , with complete
administration phase out by August 1988.
1.5 CLEANUP PLAN
The intent of the cleanup pl an is to es tab 1i sh the process for
decommissioning and to identify po ten ti al areas of concern, based
on the assessment of the hazardous materials and potential
contamination. The pl an outlines appropriate cleanup measures for
specific contaminants or site facilities which are sus pected or
known to present an environmental hazard.
The end use of the site is not known at this time . Two
decommissioning scenarios are thus considered .
.1 Scenario 1: Complete Decommissioning
This scenario assumes the "worst case" premi se which is t hat
none of the facilities are purchased or transfer r ed to either
public or private groups or individu als and ONO must assume the
responsibi 1 i ty for cleanup of any potentially hazardous
materials and restoration of the site. This is assumed t o
include demolition and disposal of all surface features and
suitable decommissioning of underground utilities .
•2 Scenario 2: Site Reuse
This scenario assumes that the majority of the facilities ar e
reused by other groups or ·individuals. Under this scenario,
it is assumed that ONO would be responsible for the cleanup and
restoration of potentially hazardous materials and areas of
suspected or known contamination.
CFB Chilliwack will be the support base during the decommissioning
period. Transformers containing PCB fluids that have been removed
from service and PCB contaminated materials will be shipped to and
stored at CFB Edmonton.

1.6 FEDERAL AND PROVINCIAL LEGISLATION
The decommissioning process is discussed below for both federal and
provincial juri sdi ct ions. It is important to realize that
decommissioning of industrial facilities is a recent phenomenon and
the development of appropriate decommissioning guidelines is in its
infancy.
A federa 1 /provi nci a 1 /i ndu stria 1 steering committee has been
established to spearhead the development of a nationally consistant
approach toward the decommissioning of industrial complexes and
waste sites, incorporating a methodology for deriving cleanup
criteria.
The activity is in support of an action plan established under the
Waste Management Committee of the Canadian Council of Resource and
Environment Ministers (CCREM). An unpublished report (2) was
compiled in March 1987 by the Steering Committee that i nventories
and summarizes information on cleanup criteria or methods to develop
criteria for industrial sites, hazardous waste sites, or other
contaminated areas.
As the site is on federal lands, the responsibility for cleanup
criteria and approach rests with Env i ronment Canada. If the land is
sold to private or public interests, the property would fall under
provincial jurisdiction. Review and approval of any cleanup plan
should thus be obtained by both the federa1 and pro vi nci a1
agencies .
. 1 Federal Legislation
The federa 1 government does not have any specific site
decommissioning regulations or guidelines. Environment
Canada, however, is responsible for the promotion and
encouragement of sound environmental practices at federal
es tab 1 i shments. The Environmental Conservation and Protection
section of Environment Canada will play the key role in
reviewing and approving the cleanup plan.
Federal legislation that may impact on the cleanup plan is
summarized below •
• 1 Canadian Enviromental Protection Act (Draft)
The objective of the proposed Canadian Environmental
Protection Act (CEPA), currently in the draft stage, is
the control, throughout all phases in their life-cycle, of
chemical substances that can affect human heal th or have
1 ong-term, deleterious effects on the natural environment.
This Act is expected to come into effect in 1988.
- 5 -
ASSOCIATED ~
ENGINEERING I~
.2 Environmental Contaminants Act
This Act regulates the importation, manufacture,
processing or use of chemicals which could cause adverse
effects on human health or environment. This Act will be
superceded by the Environmental Protection Act .
• 3 Fisheries Act
Section 33(2) of this Act prohibits the deposit of a
deleterious substance in water frequented by fish. This
Act could be used to require the cleanup of contaminated
areas having an effect on fish-bearing streams •
• 4 Transportation of Dangerous Goods Act
This Act regulates the transportation of hazardous
materials. DND is exempt from regulations under th i s Act
if materials are transported solely under the direction of
the Minister.
A 1i st of federal agency personnel contacted during the
preparation of this report is contained in Appendix A.
• 2 Provincial Legislation
Provincial waste management legislation that may impact on the
clean up plan is summarized below .
•1 Waste Management Act
This Act regulates the introduction of waste material into
the environment. This includes the transportation, storage,
and disposal of special wastes .
.2 Environment Management Act
This Act regulates the environmental assessment
requirements for resource development •
•3 Workers' Compensation Act
Section 35 of the regulations under this Act governs the
handling and removal of asbestos materials •
•4 British Columbia Fire Code
This regulation is to cover the disposal or reuse of fuel
tanks.

2.4 SERVICE SYSTEMS

.1 Water
The water supply for the domestic site is from Erickso n Lak e ,
located 4.5 km southwest of the domestic area. Raw wate r i s
pumped via an underground line to the water treatment plant at
the domestic site. The treatment processes at the plant include
coagulation-clarification using alum, pH adjust<Tient with so da
ash, potassium permanganate injection for colour removal , rapid
sand filtration, activated carbon filtration, fluoridation with
sodium fluoride, and disinfectfon using sodium hypochlorite.
The treated water is then discharged to a 455 m3 undergrou nd
concrete reservoir. A pumping system, consisting of two 10 hp
electric pumps and a backup diesel-drive fire pump, pump the
water from the reservoir to the distribution system. Backwa sh
water is directed to a sump and eventually to the swamp area
immediately east of the plant. The distribution system consists
of underground 150-mm dia cast iron mains and services to the

The water supply for the operations site is from Charlie Lake,
located between the operations and GATR sites. The water is
pumped from the lake via an underground line to water treatment
facilities in the power plant. The raw water is filtered
through pressure sand filters and disinfected with calcium
hypochlorite and directed to a 38 m3 underground concrete
reservoir. The treated water is pumped from the reservoir to
the distribution system. The distribution system is a
combination of buried and insulated above-grade 50-mm dia pipes,
running through the walkways between the buildings.
Water at the GATR site is trucked in from the domestic site and
stored in a 3.4 m3 steel storage tank located inside the GATR
building •
. 2 Wastewater
The domestic site is served by a gravity wastewater collection
system that directs the wastewater to a central point for
treatment and disposal. The original treatment works consisted
of a 100 m3 underground concrete septic tank and ti 1e field.
This was apparently abandoned in 1973 and a new treatment plant
and outfall to the creek constructed.
The treatment pl ant is an extended-aeration secondary pl ant
housed inside a pre-fabricated stee·1 building. Final disin-
fection is by gaseous chlorine prior to discharge to an unnamed
creek tht flows to Lynx Lake. Monitoring carried out by EPS in
1981 indicated an effluent BOD5 and suspended so 1 id concen-
trations of 31 and 25 mg/L, respectively. D'lution in the creek
is very low and likley reaches less than 2:1 in the 1ow fiow
late summer and winter periods. Sediment sampling downstr eam of
the outfall was carried out during the site inspection.
Waste sludge from the plant is occasionally hauled away by a
private contractor from Prince George. Discussions with EPS and
provincial WMB staff indicate that illegal dumping of sl udge by
a private contractor along the roadside occurred in the pc1st.
The practice took place apparently from the mid-1970's to 1985
at a frequency of 45 m3 every two months at a site approximately
1 km north of the domestic site. In 1985, the Contractor was
observed by Provincial WMB personnel and charged with ·negal
dumping of waste materials. A fine of $5,000 was paid and the
site was cleaned up to the extent possible. The impact of this
on site cleanup is discussed in Section 3.9.
Scum and floatable materials extracted from the head end of the
treatment plant are disposed of in a pit adjacent to the plant.
The area is fenced and the pit is covered with soil on an
intermittant basis.

The operations site is served by two septic tanks. The main
tank located near the power plant handles wastewater from the
main buildings. A smaller tank handles the wastewater from the
gate house. The tanks are reported to function as holding tanks
and are pumped out on a regular basis by a private contractor
(Table 2-3). During the site inspection, however, it was noted
that a discharge pipe exists on the mountain side below the area
of the main septic tank. A small flow was being discharged from
the pipe and material of domestic wastewater origin was noted
downstream of the pipe along with areas of oil sludge
contamination. Soil sampling was carried out below the
discharge.
The GATR site is served by a an old wooden septic tank of
unknown capacity. The tank apparently discharges into a
subsurface tile line •
• 3 Solid Waste
Domestic solid waste from the site is curren t y collected by a
private contractor (Table 2-3) and disposed of at the City of
Prince George landfill.
From station commissioning to about April 1985, solid was t e was
disposed of at a landfill loca t ed approximately 1.5 km north of
the domestic site. Although a lease agreement was obtained f rom
the province in 1966 for the site, a provincial WMB permi t wa s
apparently not obtained (3).
The site is located in a forested area just off the main acces s
road. The site has been partially covered with soil although a
steep exposed face on relatively inert waste ex i sts on the north
side.
There are no records of hazardous materials di sposed of at the
landfill site. Discussions with military and civilian
personnel, however, indicate that historic disposal of hazardous
materials, such as electrical equ i pment containing PCB's , cannot
be ruled out at the sites. For this reason, subsurface
investigation and groundwater mon i toring was carried out during
the study. The environmental aspects of the landfill site
operation are discussed in Section 3.8.
Waste oil from the site is disposed of at one of four under-
ground tanks: a 2.3 m3 steel tank outside the ME shop (Building
9); 5.0 m3 steel tank outside the Cannex garage (Building 26);

1.0 m3 steel tank outside the water treatment plant (Building
14); and an underground steel tank, estimated at 2 m3, outside
the power plant (Building 10). These tanks are occasionally
pumped out by a private contractor from Prince George and
recycled (Table 2-3).
A small incinerator exists outside the domestic site heating
plant (Building 2). This incinerator is used infrequently to
burn confidential papers and documents .
• 4 Drainage
A partial subsurface piped drainage system exists at the
domestic site. This system, combined with ditches and swales,
discharges runoff water to the swamp and the unnamed creek.
There are no formal drainage systems at the operations and GATR
sites •
• 5 Power
Until 1985, the station generated al 1 of its own power by the
diesel gen-sets at the operations site.
In the spring of 1985, B.C. Hydro completed a 25 kv, 3 phase
service to the operations site. Electric power is then fed back
to the domestic site and the GATR site by overhead lines. DND
is responsible for distribution to the dow~stic and GATR sites.
The diesel gen-sets at the power pl ant supply the operations
site with emergency power. A diesel gen-set is also located at
the GATR site.
There are no standby power generation facilities at the domestic
site •
. 6 HVAC
With the exception of a few buildings, diesel-fired steam/hot
water is used at the station.
The domestic site is equipped with two boilers located in
Building 2. Steam is distributed to the buildings via an over-
head, insulated pipe system with a condensate return. The
system also provides domestic hot water to the majority of the
buildings via a steam/hot water exchange system located in each
building. Blowdown from the boiler is directed to the sanitary
sewer system. The boiler water is conditioned prior to use with
disodiurn phosphate, caustic soda, and sodium sulphite. Various
antifoaming agents are also added.

The recreation centre is equipped with a separate diesel-fired
steam heating system as discussed earlier. The curling club has
electric heat.
The core buildings at the operations site are heated by the
diesel-fired steam/hot water system 1ocated in the power pl ant
building. During 1984, an estimated 2.2 kg of elemental mercury
was lost from a malfunctioning pressure meter on the steam/hot
water system. The majority of mercury ended up in a sump and
was cleaned up by Chem-Security Ltd., a private waste ci eanup
firm, under the direction of Health and Welfare Canada.
The telecom building (Building 87) has an oil furnace heating
system. The upper gate house (Building 51) and the operations
site and the GATR buildings have electric heat.
There are no air-conditioning facilities in the buildings.
Ventilation is provided by natural air convection and/or fans .
• 7 Fuels
The main diesel fuel storage tank at the domestic site is a
956 m3 circular welded steeel tank located in a bermed area.
There is an identical tank located at the operations sHe.
There has been no record of leakage from either tank.
The GATR site is equipped with a 1.1 m3 above gra de steel diesel
tank. This tank is no longer in use.
In addition to the above main tanks, there are a number of small
tanks serving individual furnaces or used as day tanks.
The domestic site has four underground steel vehicle fuel tanks.
Two 9 m3 tanks for gasoline and diesel are located at the ME
shop (Building 9). Two 13.6 m3 tanks for unleaded and regular
gasoline are located t the Cannex garage (Building 26).
A summary of the station fuel tanks is presented in Table 2-4.

3.0 HAZARDOUS MATERIALS
3.1 SITE SURVEY

The operations at CFS Baldy Hughes did not specifically generate
hazardous materials. Substances present in construction materials
or in equipment, however, could lead to environmental problems if
improperly handled, maintained, or discharged to the receiving
environment.
This section of the report identifies hazardous materials which
currently exist on the site or may have contributed to potential
site contamination through long-term operational practices.
Materials or activities are identified by group with the applicable
federal/provincial regulations cited.
Sources of information to compile this section include base records
and drawings, discussions with base personnel, a building-by-
building inspection of facilities, and soil/groundwater monitoring.
In regards to the environmental monitoring program, the intent was
to sample suspected or key areas where contamination, if present,
would likely occur. If contamination was found, recommendations for
further monitoring work to further assess the extent and required
cleanup would be presented. Given the high cost of comprehensize
monitoring, this approach is believed to offer the most cost-
effective method of overall assessment and development of a cleanup
pl an.
Detailed investigation were carried out at the landfill site. This
investigation is detailed in Section 3.8 and Appendix C.
General soil sampling at the station was also carried out. A list
of sample site and analyses are presented in Table 3-1. The sample
sites are shown on Drawing No. VA35-20-101. Sample results are
discussed in the subsequent sections and presented in detail in
Appendix B.
3.2 POLYCHLORINATED BIPHENYLS
Polychl ori nated bi phenyl s (PCB' s) are a regulated substance under
the federal Environment Contaminants Act. The storage, handling,
- 19 -
ASSOCIATED ~
ENGINEERING IT;;;
and disposal of PCB' s and PCB contaminated materials and equipment
must be carried out in compliance with the Act.
PCB's are synthetic chlorinated organic compounds consisting of
chlorine, carbon, and hydrogen. They are relatively fire-resistant,
very stable, do not conduct electricity, and have a low volatility
at normal tempera tu res. These and other pr ope rt i es have made them
desireable components in a wide range of industrial and consumer
products including cooling and insulating fluids for electrical
transformers and capacitors, hydraulic fluids, surface coatings for
carbonless copy paper, plasticizers, sealants, caulkings, synthetic
resins, rubbers, and asphalts.
In about 1930, a generic fluid called "askarel" containing 40 to 70
percent PCB's was introduced as a dielectric fluid in high-voltage
transformers. Smaller quantities of dielectric fluids are also used
in capacitors. This includes large capacitors used in industrial
settings as well as small capacitors used in fluorescen t light
ball as ts and electronic equipment. The manufacture of PCB' s was
banned in 1977 in North America. Most capacitors manufactured
between 1930 and 1980 contain PCB dielectric liquids (4).
The concern regarding PCB's is its unusual persistance coupled with
its tendancy to accumulate in living organisms. Th i s
bio-accumul ation raises concerns because of the potential adverse
effects PCB's can have on various organisms. Although expert
opinion varies significantly on the subject of health effects, there
is general agreement that possible adverse health effects coul d
result from long-term exposure to even low concentration s (4).
PCB's can enter the body through skin contact, inhalation of
vapours, or ingestion of food containing PCB's.
PCB's are contained in various transformers and capacitors at the
station. A program has been underway in the past few years to
record and label all PCB filled transformers and capacitors at the
station in compliance with Environment Canada regulations. In
addition, transformers suspected of containing PCB fluids or
contaminated with PCB's have been analyzed.
An inventory of transformers is contained in Appendix D. Table 3-2
presents a list of transformers with PCB concentrations greater than
50 ppm and listed with Environment Canada. An inventory of
capacitors containing PCB fluid is not available. There are ten
transformers containing PCB fluid that are registered with
Environment Canada. Seven of the transformers are exterior power
distribution transfonners and are stil 1 in use. Three of the
transfonners are in storage in Building 50. There are seven
transformers with PCB concentrations between 50 ppm and 158 ppm that
have not yet been registered with Environment Canada.
- 20 -
ASSOCIATED ~
ENGINEERING IJ;;
The major concern regarding PCB's is past practices which may have
led to environmental contamination. Possible routes of
contamination include the disposal of PCB containing equipment at
the landfill site, the handling and disposal of transformer oil
containing PCB's, or the leakage of equipment.
No indication of PCB contamination was determined at the landfill.
This discussed further in Section 3.8.
It was apparently common practice at some stations to filter
transformer fluids to remove contaminants in the past. This could
include transformer oil containing PCB's. Filtering equipment is
located in Tower 27. Personnel report that it has not been used in
recent memory. Draining and replacement of transformer oil, however,
was likely occassionally performed. No specific information is
available on previous disposal practices, although it appears likely
that these fluids were treated like any waste oil. The disposal
route for such material would normally be temporary storage at the
operations site in barrels, with eventual transfer to the waste oil
holding tank at the domestic site for ultimate disposal off-site.
Although no records are available, spreading oil on the roads at the
operations site or a dust suppressant could have been practiced.
In order to determine if an environmental contamination problem
exists, selective sampling of surface soils was carried out at
various locations for PCB' s. The results of the sampling are
presented in Table 3-3.
All of the soil samples, with the exception of two, show neg l igible
PCB concentrations. Sample BH-11 underneath the transformer bank to
the south of Search Tower 27 (Building 95) shows an extremely high
PCB concentration of 4130 ppm. The three 150 k VA transformers at
this location contain 55.5, 61.7, and 64.7 percent PCB
concentrati ans. Three adjacent 667 k VA transformers al so contain
PCB fluid. The high value in the soil obviously indicates previous
leakage or spillage from the transformer(s). The site is currently
fenced and restricted to authorized personnel. This area will
require special clean up procedures discussed in Section 4.0.
Sample BH-12, col 1 ected from underneath the transformer bank north
of the power plant at the operations site, indicated a PCB
concentration of 3.8 ppm. This location was the site of a minor
spill of transformer mineral oil containing 154 ppm PCB in mid-1987.
Cleanup procedures are discussed in Section 4.0.
- 21 -
ASSOCIATED ~
ENGINEERING 11:;'
Aside from the above areas, there does not appear to be further PCB
contamination of the station environment as a result of the presence
of electrical and electronic equipment containing PCB's. PCB's,
however, do exist in certain equipment items and may be present in
waste oil containers. Cleanup procedures for such equipment are
discussed in Section 4.0.
During the study, comments were made by the provincial WMB regarding
the possibility of PCB spills on the ground underneath Building 50
prior to pouring the concrete floor. According to base staff,
however, no known spills of PCB fluids have occurred in the
relatively short period that the building has been used of PCB
storage. Recommendations for decommissioning are presented in
Section 4.2.
3.3 UREA FORMALDEHYDE FOAM INSULATION
There are no records of urea formaldehyde foam insulation (UFFI)
being used as a building insulation material at the station.
Discussions with maintenance and carpentry personnel indicate that
no UFFl has been observed during interior modifications.
It is thus concluded that a UFFI contamination problem does not
exist at the station.
3.4 ASBESTOS PRODUCTS

Asbestos products including high temperature pipe insulation, vinyl
asbestos floor tile, asbestos shingle siding, and interior
asbestos sheet wainscoting were used in the original construction
and are present at the station. Spray-on asbestos insulation was
used in the power plant at the operations site. There are no other
known locations of spray-on asbestos insulation •
• 1 Spray-on Asbestos Insulation
Airborne asbestos has been well documented as a carcinogen (5).
Spray-on asbestos insulation can release asbestos fibers into
the atmosphere and expose workers to potential health risks.
The use of spray-on asbestos is currently banned.
Spray-on asbestos i nsul ati on was used in some sec ti ans of the
east wall of the power plant at the operations site. A portion
of the insulation was removed in November and December 1982
under the strict control of Health and Welfare Canada. Health
and Welfare Canada concluded that power pl ant workers may have
been exposed to airborne asbestos and recommended yearly health
evaluations.
- 22 -
ASSOCIATED ~
ENGINEERING It;;
It should be noted that sprayed-on asbestos insulation is still
present in the power plant wall. This does not pose a problem
at the present time, according to Health and Welfare Canada
sampling, however, special clean up and removal procedures will
be required on building demolition •
. 2 Steam Pipe Insulation

As discussed in Section 2.4.6, asbestos insulation was used on
steam pipe bends and fittings where spun glass insulation
could not be fitted. The insulation is in the form of an
asbestos fiber-plaster mixture which is then wrapped and coated .
Where the wrapping is in good condition, no hazard from
inhalation of asbestos fibers is present. If the wrapping is
damaged and the asbestos insulation is deteriorated to t he
point of releasing fibers, a potentially hazardous situation
exists.
Asbestos steam pipe insulation is in generally good repa i r and
does not present a hazard at this time. Ambient air sampling in
Buildings 2, 3, 7, 10, and 98 in Agril 1986 indicated
non-detectible (less than 0.1 fibers/cm3) concentration of
asbestos. The potentially hazardous situation will come durin g
insulation and piping removal. The Provincial Workers'
Compensation Board and Federal Treasury Board guidelines for
asbestos removal should be followed at that time •
. 3 Other Asbestos Products
The other asbestos products used, vinyl asbestos tile and
asbestos sheeting and siding, do not contain "friable "
asbestos and are not of concern from a work pl ace or disposal
perspective.
3.5 PETROLEUM OIL AND LUBRICANTS
Petroleum oil and lubricants are not generally considered to be

hazardous materials, however, if improperly disposed of or
accidentally spilt in large quantities, the potential exists for
soil, groundwater, and surface water contamination as well as
vegetation damage and asethetic concerns.
Petroleum oils have leaked or have been spilt on the ground at
various locations at the station. Soil sampling was carried out to
determine the hydrocarbon concentrations in the soil . Sampli ng
results are summarized in Table 3-4.

ENGINEERING IT:'
The Province of British Columbia does not have specific criteria for
the restoration of oil contaminated soils. The Province of Ontario,
however, has recently drafted guidelines for soil cleanup criteria
for decommissioning of industrial sites (2). These are reproduced
in Table 3-5.
The criteria suggested in the above guidelines for redevelopment as
residential/parkland or commercial/industrial is an oil
concentration of 2.0% for weathered oil. In the absence of other
criteria, this value is believed reasonable in assessing the need
for clean up.
Based on the value of 2% oil concentration in the soil, clean up of
surface soils at five locations should be considered. These
include:
Near waste oil tank at Building 9.
Inside main oil tank berm at operations site.
Mountain side below suspected septic tank overflow at operations
site.
Mountain side below waste oil discharge pipe from the power
plant at the operations site.
The contaminated areas near the waste oil tank and inside the oil
tank berm are the result of mi nor spi 11 age and can be readily
cleaned up by removing the contaminated soil. The quantity of
contaminated soil is estimated at less than 20 m3.
The mountain side area below the two discharge pipes is a differen t
situation. The mountain side is steep (40° to 60°) with little or
shallow soil cover. Although large quantities of oil we re
discharged from the floor drain system over 20 years of opera ti on,
the oil has weathered considerably and is near the req uired limit
discussed above. In addition to the oil, however, the mountain side
is littered with old car bodies and metal debris from either the
original construction or subsequent early opera ti on. Addi ti ona l
analysis was carried on the area for the possibility for other
contamination. The results are shown in Table 3-6. The resul ts
indicate slightly elevated levels of mercury, cadmium, and zinc.
Clean up of the area is discussed in Section 4.0.
3.6 CHEMICALS, SOLVENTS, AND CLEANERS
A variety of chemicals, so 1vents, and cleaners are present at the
station for use in gardening, equipment maintenance and operation,
and housekeeping. Quantities maintained at the station are
generally limited.

ENGINEERING I~
3.8 LANDFILL SITES
The environmental concerns regarding the landfill site are the
possibility of groundwater contamination and completion of the site
after station decommissioning.
Investigations carried out at the site (Appendix C) indicates that
no significant groundwater contamination is present.
PCB's were below non-detectible limits in the groundwater sampl ed.
Gross alpha and beta radiation are below levels of concern.
Although it cannot be concluded that the equipment containing PCB
fluid or radioactive materials is not present in the waste, there is
no indication that groundwater contamination is occuring.
Completion of the site after station decommissioning should attempt
to blend in the site with the surrounding environment. A final
cover of soil, with a minimum thickness of 0.6 m, should be placed
on the fill. The area should then be seeded to establish a
vegetation cover to minimize erosion. Specific recommendations for
landfill completion are presented in Section 4.0.
3.9 WASTEWATER DISPOSAL SYSTEMS
The wastewater disposal systems are described in Section 2.4.2.
The primary environmental concerns are contamination of the
receiving environment and public health. Sampling of sediments
below the outfall of the domestic site treatment plant, below the
old septic tank at the domestic site, and soil below the apparent
septic tank overflow at the operations site was conducted to
determine if any unusually high contaminant concentrations are
present that could compact on decommissioning. The results of this
sampling are presented in Table 3-9.
The samples below the old septic tank at the domestic site and below
the treatment plant outfall do not indicate any abnormal
contamination. The sample below the septic tank overflow at the
operations site indicates elevated 1evel s of hydrocarbons, cadmium,
copper, mercury, 1ead, and zinc. The source of these contaminants
is unknown, however, it is surmised that wastewater from maintenance
operations such as battery repair or parts washing is directed into
this sewer system. Low levels of PCB's were found in the soil.
- 26 -
ASSOCIATED ~
ENGINEERING I~
This may be a result of transformer oil disposal into the sewer
system. The higher PCB level in the lower area (BH-13; 1.5 ppm)
than in the upper area (BH-6; 0.56 ppm) is likely due to the
presence of finer grain silts and organics at the lower swamp area
that are capable of absorbing higher levels of PCB than the coarser
soil on the upper slope.
Recommendations for clean up are presented in Section 4.0.
3.10 RADIOACTIVE MATERIALS
Radioactive materials are regulated substances under the Atomic
Energy Control Act. The handling, storage, transportation, and
disposal of radioactive materials must comply with regulations
pursuant to the Atomic Energy Control Act and the Transportation of
Dangerous Goods Act.
The radar equipment contains vacuum tubes that contain small
quantities of radioactive materials.
Radioactive materials are identified and handled in the prescribed
fashion at the station. All materials will eventually be removed
from the station.
Monitoring for radioactive materials at the landfill sites did not
indicate the presence of radioactive materials.
3.11 FIRE FIGHTING TRAINING AREA
The main fire fighting training area in recent years has been
between the curling rink and the recreational centre at the
domestic site. Other areas, such as immediately west of the fire
hall, have been occasionally used in the past. Gasoline fires are
started in abandoned vehicles or on the ground and extinguished.
Fire fighting foams and dry chemicals are used to extinguish the
fires.
Soil sampling was carried out at the site between the curling rink
and the recreation centre. The results are presented in Tab 1e
3-10.
The results show PCB and hydrocarbon concentrations well below
criteria levels. No clean up of the soil is indicated.

The use of common chemicals, solvents, and cleaners is not generally
regulated, however, improper handling or disposal can lead to
environmental contamination .
• 1 Standard Chemicals, Solvents, and Cleaners
A list of standard chemicals, solvents, and cleaners used at the
station is presented in Table 3-6.
Glycol is used primarily in the search tower equipment system
and various diesel cooling systems. Glycol coolant is generally
not considered a hazardous material although it can exert a high
BOD loading on receiving water and is toxic to aquatic life in
high concentrations.
Other chemicals and solvents at the station should be considered
as potentially hazardous materials and disposed of in an
approved fashion •
• 2 Herbicides/Pesticides
The only herbicide use at the station is reported to be the
occasional "weed and feed" fertilizer.
Pesticide use includes Baggon for biting midges or no-see-urns
and Vicam for earwigs. Quantities are reported to be minimal.
In summary, there does not appear to be any indication of unusual
use of chemicals, solvents, and cleaners at the station.
3.7 UNDERGROUND TANKS
There are a number of underground tanks at the station used to store
domestic water, wastewater, waste oil, and gasoline. Data on
underground tanks is summarized in Table 3-8.
The main concerns with underground tanks are:
The potential for leakage of the contents into the groundwater
should a tank leak.
Collapse of the tank due to structure deterioration.
Tanks that are no longer in service should be cleaned out and
removed or filled in. Decommissioning recommendations for specific
tanks are presented in Section 4.0.

4.0 CLEANUP PLAN
4.1 ALTERNATE SCENARIOS

As discussed in Section 1.5, the end use of the site is not known at
this time. B.C. Tel already maintain facilities at the operations
site and this is likely to continue. The Ministry of Transport has
expressed a desire to take over some of the operational site
facilities.
Interest has been expressed by provincial agencies and Indian and
Northern Affairs Canada in the possible purchase of the domestic
site for use as training or rehabilitation centres and other
possible users are being actively pursued (3). The reuse of the
facilities by other groups, however, is by no means guaranteed and
it is necessary to consider the possibility of total base
decommissioning and restoration. ·
The cleanup plan developed thus considers two scenarios .
• 1 Scenario 1: Complete Decommissioning
This scenario assumes the "worst case" premise which is that
more of the facilities are purchased or transferred to either
public or private groups or individual and DND must assume the
responsibility for clean up of any potentially hazardous
materials and restoration of the site. This is assumed to
include demolition and disposal of all surface features and
suitable decommissioning of underground utilities •
• 2 Scenario 2: Site Reuse
This scenario assumes that the majority of the facilities are
reused by other groups or individuals. Under this scenario,
it is assumed that DND would be responsible for the clean up and
restoration of potentially hazardous materials and areas of
suspected or known contamination.
The format presented below firstly presents recommendations based on
Scenario 1. Comments are then presented assuming Scenario 2
proceeds.
- 28 -
ASSOCIATED ~
ENGINEERING l'J::'
The cleanup plan is primarily oriented towards the environmental
aspects of site decommi ss i oni ng and restoration. General comments
are provided on the removal of non-hazardous materials such as
buildings. It is assumed that all military equipment and radar
equipment is dismantled and removed from site prior to the station
c 1osure un 1ess other arrangements have been made with new owners
with respect to any military equipment.
4.2 DOMESTIC SITE
.1 Buildings
Under Scenario 1, buildings would be gutted and demolished.
Combustible wood wastes should be burnt to reduce volume and ash
and non-combustible building materials disposed by landfill.
Sui tab 1e precautions should be taken when dismantling asbestos
panels or siding to minimize the exposure of workers to
asbestos dust or fibers. Fluorescent 1 i ghti ng bal 1as ts should
be suspected of containing PCB's unless proven otherNise and
packaged and stored for disposal as a PCB waste.
Reuse of the old landfill area for disposal will result in a

cost savings due to the shorter haul di stance. Concrete slabs
and foundations should be broken up and disposed of on-site by
landfilling.
Under Scenario 2, all or some of the buildings would be reused.
Selective demolition and removal thus may be required.
Section 3.2 discussed an unsubstantiated comment regarding PCB
contamination under the concrete floor of Building 50. As this
is an old, unheated building remote from the core area, it has
little use to a new owner. It is recommended that this building
be demolished upon removal of stored PCB materials, and soil
samples taken from under the building to detennine if cleanup is
required •
• 2 Water System
Water treatment works in Building 14 should be removed and
salvaged. Water treatment chemicals remaining after shutdown
should be returned to ONO and reused or disposed of in an
approved manner.
Surface features such as hydrants should be removed. Riser
pipes should be removed to 0.6 m below grade. Open ends should
be capped and back f i 11 ed. Underground water mains should be
left in place.
- 29 -
ASSOCIATED ~
ENGINEERING I];;
The water supply at Erickson Lake represents a future source of
water for other developments in the area. Discussion should be
held with the Provincial Water Management Branch regarding
possible other use. If other parties are not interested in
assuming the responsibility for the structure, the structure
should be removed, and the pipeline abandoned.
Under Scenario 2, it is likely that the water system would be
left as is •
• 3 Wastewater System
The gravity collection system should be decommissioned as
follows:
Flush each sewer line with fresh water.
Disconnect the service connections from the building to a
depth of about 0.6 m below grade and cap open ends.
Remove concrete manholes to a minimum distance of 0.6 m
below grade.
Backfill all openings and excavations with granular fill.
No specific guidelines exist for the decommissioning of
wastewater treatment and disposal systems. Environment Canada
and the Provincial Waste Management Branch should be contacted
regarding final approva 1 of the procedure. The proposed steps
are as follows:
Drain effluent from the tanks via the outfall.
Pump out the sludge from the tanks and dispose off-site or
by a trench and f i 11 procedure at an approved 1oca ti on
on-site.
Remove salvagable equipment from the building and return
chlorine cylinder and chemicals to ONO or to suppliers.
Demolish the building superstructure.
Remove the foundation to a minimum depth of 0.6 m and remove
or fill in tanks with granular fill.
Cover the scum pit with a minimum of 0.6 m of soil and
remove the fence.
Remove the outfall from the creek, and cap and backfill the
end.
Regrade and seed the area.
In scenario 2, the wastewater system would presumably be left in
pl ace and continue to be used. The new owner would have to
apply for a provincial waste management permit in order to
continue operation of the system.

.4 Solid Waste Landfill
The l andfi 11 should be graded to allow surface drainage and the
exposed face resl oped to about 2 horizontal: 1 vertical. A
final soil cover with a minimum thickness of 0.6 m should be
placed on the fill. The areas should then be seeded to
establish a vegetation cover for erosion protection.
.5 Drainage System
The surface drainage system should essentially be left as is.
Culverts should be removed and the area ditched.
The site should be regraded as necessary to prevent ponding of
runoff water and to minimize localized erosion •
• 6 Power Distribution System
The power distribution system should be de-energized and
surface features such as poles and overhead lines removed.
Transformers should be removed and salvaged or disposed of
following approved procedures. One transformer contains 3.8
percent PCB fluid and four mineral-oil transformers contai n
greater than 50 ppm PCB's.
This equipment should be removed, labelled, stored, and
transported according to Environment Canada regulations to CFB
Edmonton.
Although soil sampling carried out at the domestic site did not
indicate abnormal concentrations of PCB's, the sampling was not
exhaustive and, if during decommissioning transformer leakage is
suspected, additional soil sampling for PCB's should be
conducted.
Under Chlorobiphenyl Regulation No. 2, the sale of a transfer of
equipment containing over 50 ppm PCB's is illegal. If Scenario
2 proceeds, a legal interpretation of this regulation, as it
applies to this situation, should be sought. The new owners may
wish to have all equipment containing in excess of 50 ppm PCB's
removed prior to the ownership transfer •
• 7 HVAC Systems
The steam/hot water heating system should be dismantled and
removed.
- 31 -
ASSOCIATED ~
ENGINEERING I~
The concern from an envi ronmenta 1 viewpoint is the remove ab 1e
and disposal of asbestos pipe insulation. Material and
equipment required for asbestos removal should be assembled
prior to piping dismantling, and areas of asbestos requiring
removal identified before work commences. Asbestos removal
should be conducted by kn owl edgeab 1e personnel, fami 1 i ar with
asbestos removal procedures. Occupati anal heal th and safety
procedures acceptable to Canada Labour and the British Columbia
Compensation Board should be followed. Standards for asbestos
removal must meet Treasury Board "Occupational Exposure to
Asbestos" procedures if public service employees are involved in
the removal or potentially exposed.
Asbestos is a regulated substance under the Transportation of
Dangerous Goods Act unless materials are transported by DND
personnel and disposed of at an approved DND operated landfill.
The draft Special Waste Regul ati ans under the Provincial Waste
Management Act also regulate the transportation and dispos al of
waste asbestos. The draft regulations for disposal are
reproduced in Table 4-1.
Under Scenario 2, the steam-heating system may be retained.
Prior to transfer of ownership, all asbestos pipe insulation
should be inspected and repaired as necessary to ensure the
integrity of the exterior wrapping. The new owner should be
made aware of the presence of the asbestos and accept future
liability for its maintenance and ultimate disposal •
. 8 Fuel Systems
Stored oil in the surface diesel oil tanks should be pumped
out and recovered. The tanks should then be dismantled and
removed from site, in accordance with the B.C. Fire Code
Regulations.
The underground gaso 1 i ne tanks should be pumped out, removed
from the ground, and purged of vapours. The tanks shou·1d then
either be disposed of in accordance with the above regulations.
During removal, the presence of any leakage of the contents into
the soil should be noted. If leakage is present, a soil
sampling program should be conducted to determine the extent of
contamination and a cleanup program developed as required.
Under Scenario 2, fuel systems may presumably be left in place.
The new owner should be made aware of the risk of tank leakage
and assume responsibility for any future cleanup.
- 32 -
ASSOCIATED ~
ENGINEERING IJ;;
.9 Waste Oil Tanks
The waste oi 1 tanks at Bui 1dings 9, 14, and 26 should be
pumped out. The bottom sludge should be analyzed for PCB' s to
determine if special disposal requirements are necessary.
The tank should be removed from the ground and disposed of as
discussed in Section 4.2.8. The contaminated soil in the area
of the tank at Building 9, discussed in Section 3.5, should be
removed and disposed of by landfilling.
Under Scenario 2, the tanks should still be removed and disposed
of as in Scenario 1 due to the possibility of previous
contamination unless the new owner is prepared to accept
responsibility for future cleanup •
. 10 Site Reclamation
Specific site reel amati on regulations have not yet been
developed. In general, the degree of site reclamation must
consider the future land use and what is desirable, practical,
and economically feasible.
It is assumed that if the site is not purchased for a specific
reuse, the ultimate fate of the land will be similar to adjacent
land use, i.e. forest land.
The removal of specific structures has been dealt with in
previous sections. In general, surface features should be
removed. Subsurface features should be removed to a depth that
will maximize potential interference with future land use.
Provincial (6) and federal (7) regulations for landfill si te
closure both call for a minimum of 0.6 m of final cover. In the
absence of other specific guidelines, removal and/or covering of
subsurface structures to this depth is believed reasonable.
Site roads and parking areas should be removed. The base course
should be scarified and topsoil added as required to provide a
suitable growing medium.
The property should be left in an aesthetic condition. Litter
or debris should be removed. The area should be regraded and
topsoil added where re qui red. Areas requiring revegetati on for
erosion control should be fertilized and seeded.
General reclamation steps are summarized in Table 4-2.

4.3 OPERATIONS AND GATR SITES
.1 Buildings
Buildings should be removed as described in Section 4.2.1.
Asbestos removal in the power plant is discussed in Section
4.3.7.
Due to the previous mercury spill at the power plant, the
presence of elemental mercury in drains or cavities should be
checked and additional soil sampling for mercury levels carried
out in the vicinity of the sump following decommissioning. Soil
cleanup should then be undertaken if warranted.
Demolition materials should be diposed of in the landfill site

as disposal in the area of the operations and GATR sites is not
practical due to the shallow bedrock and lack of available soil
cover.
As reuse of the sites for industrial or agricultural purposes is
unl ikl ey, the removal of concrete foundations is primarily an
aesthetic concern.
Under Scenario 2, some of the operations site buildings may be
retained for future use .
. 2 Water Systems
The water pumping station (Building 19) at Charlie Lake should
be removed and the intake well filled in with clean gr avel.
The portions of the surface, insulated pipe to the operations
area should be removed. Underground sections should be capped
at the ends and backfilled.
The water storage reservoir at the operations site should be
emptied and the top removed. The tank should then be fi l 1ed
with granular material and covered over to a minimum depth of
0.6 m.
Water treatment and distribution equipment should be removed and
salvaged or disposed of at the landfill. Remaining chemicals
should be handled as per Section 4.2.2.
The water storage tank at the GATR site should be removed and
salvaged or disposed of.
Under Scenario 2, it is likely that the cost of maintaining the
water system could not be justified. Replacement of the system
with a holding tank for domestic purposes is the most likely
action.
- 34 -
ASSOCIATED ~
ENGINEERING 11:;
.3 Wastewater Systems
Gravity collection pipes should be decommissioned as discussed
in Section 4.2.3.
Septic tanks at the operations and GATR sites should be pumped
out and the septage disposed as per Section 4. 2. 3. The tanks
should then be removed from the ground and disposed of at the
landfill site or buried in place with a minimum of 0.6 m of soil
cover.
The overflow from the main septic tank at the operations site
has caused aesthetic problems and elevated levels of heavy
metals and hydrocarbons in the soil immediately downstream of
the pipe. The area effected is relatively small (estimated at
less than 100 m2) and travel di stance to the nearest defined
watercourse is about 500 m. As the area will not be reused due
to the very steep terrain, clean up from an aesthetic viewpoint
is suggested. It is recommended that the soil of highest
contamination immediately below the pipe be removed and disposed
of at the landfill site. The area should then be regraded
and topsoil added as required. Seed should then be applied to
establish a vegetative cove r to control erosion.
Proper precautions should be taken when handling wastewater
tanks and cleaning up contaminated areas to minimize health
risks.
Under Scenario 2, the present septic tank and cverfl ow at the
operations site is not acceptable under provincial Ministry of
Heal th regulations. Removal and cl eanup as per Scanari o 1
should be undertaken .
• 4 Power Distribution
Power distribution equipment should be removed as per Sec ti on
4.2.6.
Six transformers outside Tower 27 contain PCB fluid and soil
sampling indicates that previous leakage has occurred. In
addition, there are two contaminated mineral oil transformers
outside the power pl ant. The transformers should be removed,
labelled, stored, and transported to CFB Edmonton according to
Environment Canada regulations.
The soil under the transformers outside Tower 27 conta i ns PCB's
in excess of 4000 ppm. This area will require a special cleanup
procedure and an action control plan for cleanup in April 1988
has been prepared under separate cover. Soil containing greater
- 35 -
ASSOCIATED ~
ENGINEERING I~
than 5 ppm PCB and contaminated rock and concrete should be
removed and disposed of in accordance with the regulati ons.
This work should be carried out by personnel specially trained
in PCB site cleanup.
Under Chlorobiphenyl Regulation No. 2, the sale or a transfer of
equipment containing over 50 ppm PCB's is illegal. If Scenario
2 proceeds, a legal interpretation of this regulation, as it
applies to this situation, should be sought. The new owners may
wish to have all equipment containing in excess of 50 ppm PCB's
removed prior to the ownership transfer .
• 5 HVAC Systems
The steam-heating system at the operations site contains
asbestos pipe insulation. The handling and disposal require-
ments discussed in Section 4.2.7 should be followed •
. 6 Fuel Systems
Residual oil products should be recycled or disposed of in an
approved manner. The surface oil tanks at the operations and
GATR sites should be removed and salvaged or disposed of in
accordance with Section 4.2.8 .
• 7 Spray-on Asbestos Insulation Removal
As discussed in Section 3.4.1, spray-on asbestos insulation was
used in some of the walls in the power plant at the operations
site. Portions of this material were removed in 1982, however,
some areas remain.
The asbestos insulation should be removed and disposed of as per
Section 4.2.7 prior to the demolition of the power plant •
. 8 Oil Contaminated Areas
As discussed in Section 3.5, the previous practice of disposing
of waste diesel crankcase oil down the side of the mountain
below the power plant has led to a large area of oil
contamination. In addition, refuse ranging from car bodies to
scrap metal were disposed of down the mountain. Soil analysis
indicates that heavy metal concentrations are somev1hat above
accepted levels for soil clean up for land reuse. Cleanup
alternatives were reviewed on-site with Environment Canada
personnel in October 1987.
- 36 -
ASSOCIATED ~
ENGINEERING I~
Clean up of the area presents a di 1ema. The area is a steep
rocky face (30 to 60 degrees) funne 11 i ng into a steep gully.
Soil cover is shallow and non-existent in steeper areas.
Original vegetation was also minimal due to the terrain
conditions. The practice stopped about 10 years ago and the oil
has weathered. The gulley drains to a swamp area which in turn
drains to a water course about 500 m travel di stance from the
discharge outlet. Contamination of the water course at this
time is considered very unlikely. An attempt to remove
contaminated soil may expose unweathered oil and lead to
increased potential for downstream contamination. In addition,
replacement of soil and erosion protection of the steep slope
will be very difficult. As the concentration of hydrocarbons in
the soil appear to be the range where natural degradation will
occur over time, it is suggested that the best approach is to
clean up the area from an aesthetic viewpoint and not attempt to
remove the oil. The application of 150 mm of topsoil and
placement of a mulch blanket containing fertilizer and seed,
such as Proseed by Nilex Geotechnical Products Ltd., Vanco~ver,
B.C., is suggested to speed up the restoration process and
stabilize the slope in the upper area below the rock face. This
should be carried out in the late spring to maximize growth and
reduce the wash-away of the applied materials. Car bodies and
debris should be carefully removed from the top of the slope •
• 9 Site Reclamation
Due to the mountain top location of the operations site, the
future use of the site will likely be for navigational/-
telecommunications use. The GATR site will likely be returned
to its "natural" state.
The removal of specific structures has been dealt with in
previous sections. The access roads shouid be left as is to
provide access to the future facilities at the operations site
and for recreational activities.
The properties should be left in an asethetic condition. Litter
or debris should be removed. Subsurface features such as
concrete foundations and power or antennae poles should be
removed to a minimum depth of 0.6 m. Excavations or holes
should be filled with sand/gravel.
The area should be regraded as required to blend with the
natural surroundings. Revegetati on should be carried out where
required.

5.0 ESTIMATED COSTS
5.1 COST BASIS

The actual cost for the clean up of CFS Baldy Hughes will depend
upon a number of factors such as the degree of restoration and the
method of carrying out the work.
For the purpose of this study, an order-of-magnitude cost has been
estimated using approximate building areas and material quantities
and typical unit prices associated with demolition and disposal
works. Where unit prices are not applicable, an approximate
estimate is presented. It should be emphasized that the cost is not
based on a detailed take-off of quantities and should therefore only
be regarded as an approximate cost for budget purposes.
The cost estimate assumes, Scenario 1: Complete Decommissioning,
and that the work will proceed in 1988.
The costs under Scenario 2, Site Reuse, will be lower than
Scenario 1 and will depend upon the extent of reuse and the
conditions of the sale or transfer. As the extent of reuse is not
known, the costs cannot be estimated at this time.
5.2 ESTIMATED COST
The estimated cost for site cleanup and restoration under
Scenario 1 is presented in Table 5-1.

6.0 SUMMARY
Site decommissioning is a relatively new phenomena. Both federal and

provincial agencies are just beginning to develop guidelines and criteria
and at the present time, each site is considered on a site specific
basis.
The study has determined that leakage of PCB fluid from a transformer at
the operations site has led to an area of significant soil contamination.
The area will require a special cleanup procedure. The practice of
disposing of waste crankcase oil from the diesel gen-sets at the power
plant over the mountain side during the first 25 years of site operation
has resulted in an area of oil-contamination. The oil, however, has
weathered and does not present a hazard to the downstream water course.
Complete decommissioning and restoration of the site, termed Scenario 1 in
this study, will involve primarily the removal of structures and
facilities and restoration of the sites to their "natural" condition.
Scenario 2, Site Reuse, would require a more limited degree of
restoration, the exact extent of which will depend upon the site reuse and
the conditions of the sale or transfer.
The proposed clean up and restoration plan for complete decommissioning is

summarized in Table 6-1.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
Hardy BBT Limited (formerly Aquaterre Consultants
Inc.) was retained to conduct an environmental impact study
with respect to the landfill site at CFB Baldy Hughes. The
scope of the study consists of an overall geologic survey of
the area, an inventory of existing wells, a limited drilling
and sampling program, and a groundwater monitoring program.
This report presents the findings of the overall site survey
and the results of the field work.
This work was authorized by Mr. R. Corbett, P.Eng.
of Associated Engineering (BC) Limited.
2.0 BACKGROUND
CFB Baldy Hughes is located approximately 40 km
southwest of Prince George, B.C. The Base has been in
service for about 35 years and is scheduled for de-
commissioning in August 1988. The base is located on
topographic highs in remote areas. A site location plan is
shown on Plate 1
The surrounding development is mainly unsettled and
devoid of population. The closest settlement is Hutda Lake,
a Provincial Minimum Security work camp located about 10 to
12 km north of the Base.
The landfill site is located about 1.5 m north of
the base and contains mainly municipal type wastes, but the
possibility exists that initial dumping may have included old
electrical transformers having dielectric fluids containing
polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB). It is understood that the
majority of the transformers are contained in above ground
structures. In discussion with Base personnel, we were
informed that there is a possibility of radioactive
source materials having been buried at the landfill site in
the 1950's.
9 Hardy BBT Limited
- 2 -
3.0 REGIONAL GENERAL INFORMATION

The physical site information was obtained through
available aerial photographs, topographic maps, surficial and
bedrock geology, water well logs, hydrogeology, agricultural
and geotechnical reports.
3.1 Topography
The study area is dominated by rolling topography
which is oriented in a northeast direction. The difference
in relief is about 220 m (700 ft). Mount Baldy Hughes is t h e
highest point and is about 140 m (450 ft) above its
surrounding area. A topographic map of the region is
presented in Plate 2, Appendix A.
The landfill site is situated on the north slope of
Mount Baldy Hughes at an approximate elevation of 280d feet.
The nearest lake is Lynx Lake which is about 2.5 km east.
Other main lakes in the area include Hutda Lake which is
located about 4.5 km to the northwest and Shesta Lake which
is located 3.5 km to the west.
3.2 Surficial and Bedrock Geology

The general geology consists of glacial sediments
over volcanic bedrock. In general, the depth of giacial
soils ranged from 6 to 31 m (20 too 30 ft). The maximum
depth to bedrock, known in the area, is about 98 m (370 ft)
at Hutda Lake. In the project area, the glacial soils
are mainly sands and gravelly tills averaging 6 m (20 ft)
thick. Surficial geology and bedrock geology maps for the
area are presented in Plates 3 and 4, Appendix A.
3.3 Hydrogeology
The study area is predominantly bedrock controlled,
with dense glacial tills overlying the bedrock. The tills
9 Hardy BBT Limited
CONSULTING ENG IN EERING &. PROFESSIONAL SERVICES
- 3 -
typically produce very little water. Some wells have

encountered water £lowing on the bedrock surface at the base
of the overlying soils above the confining bedrock. These
wells are typically low yielding.
Surface run-off water is abundant and flow is
predominantly northeast. A local radial drainage pattern is
present around Mount Baldy Hughes.
The approximate well locations are presented in Plate 2,
Appendix A as well as on the cross - sections. A summary of
the well data including depth, static water level, yield and
lithology is included in Table 1, Appendix B.
3.4 Surrounding Development

The majority of the development for the military
installat i on is situated at the highest elevations on the
mountain. The surrounding area is sparsely developed.
Shasta Lake, Hutda Lake and Lynx Lake are areas of
development located around the base of the mo u ntain within a
3 kilometer r adius. The closest large population area is
West Lake (Nadsilnich Lake) located 13 km to the northwest
towards Prince George.
4.0 LANDFILL SITE HISTORY

The existing landfill site was originally a borrow
source of sands .and gravel during the initial construct i on of
the Base. After construction, the borrowed area was a
natural choice for : use as a landfill because of the close
proximity to the Base, the already existing excavation and
the abundance of soil to cover the wastes.
The landfill site was kept in very good condition .
A site reconnaissance was carried out by Mr. Jerry Schmidt,
P. Eng., Mr. Bill Wong, P.Eng., of Hardy BBT Limited and Mr.
Rick Corbett, P.Eng. of Associated Engineering (BC) Limited
9 Hardy BBT Limited

on April 21, 1987. The purpose of this visit was to

determine the most suitable drill sites. There was no
detailed record of the type of refuse buried in this landfill
site. However, the north face of the landfill has not been
covered. During the site investigation, we were able to
record the type of refuse which was still exposed. This
exposed surface was about 9 m high and 50 m across.
5.0 SITE EXPLORATION

Two test holes were drilled on May 19, 1987 using a
truck mounted power drill equipped with solid and hollow stem
augers. Locations of the testholes are shown on Plate 8 in
Appendix B. Testhole 1 was located up - gradient from the
landfill area and was drilled to a dep th of 6.1 m. Testhole
2 was located down-gradient from the landfill area and was
drilled to a depth of 6.8 m. Detailed soil descriptions
are given on the testhole logs, Plates 9 and 10 in Appendix
B.
Slotted standpipes were installed in the testholes.
Installation details are shown on Plates 11 and 12 in
Appendix B. Groundwater was allowed to stabilize before the
initial water samples were taken on June 3, 1987. Res:.rlts
of the background water qualities are given in Section 5.2.
An inventory of wastes exposed in the north face
of the landfill was recorded on June 4, 1987.
5.1 Soil Conditions

The soils generally consist of minimal topsoil over
1.5 to 2.0 m of sand till overlying a hard clay till.
A 600 mm thick topsoil layer was encountered in TH 2.
Topsoil was not encountered in TH 1 because the area was
used as a source where soil was taken to cover the wastes.
The sand till contains silts and gravels and was
- 5 -
e Hardy BBT Limited
generally well graded and compact. Natural moisture content

was about 18 percent. In TH 1 and TH 2, free water seepage
was encountered in this stratum at 0.6 m and 1.2 m in
Beneath the sand till the clay till is very silty,
contains fine gravel, and is medium plastic. The clay till
is very dense and was very difficult to auger. Natural
moisture content of the clay till is generally less than 10
percent and free water seepage was not encountered in this
material.
The type of refuse observed comprised domestic
garbage, ousehold appliances, packaging material, old
equipment and construction materials.
The discarded domestic refuse and appliances
consists of washers, dryers, television sets, lawn mowers,
metal bed springs, matresses and tables. The packaging refuse
consists of pallets, foam packings, cardboard boxes, wood
crates, wood and metal shelves. The construction refuse
consists of sheet metal duct work, sidings, fibreglass
insulation, electrical conduits and cables, timber and pipes.
The remaining refuse consists of car chassis, tires, barrel
drums, radio chassis, telephone panels, boile r tanks etc. No
transformers was encountered but there were a number of
"Danger High Voltage" signs.
5.2 Groundwater Qualities

On June 3, 1987, water samples were obtained from
the standpipes and were tested for gross alpha, gross beta,
PCB and potability. The results of chemical analyses
are presented on Plate 1 in Appendix D, and shape diagrams
are shown on Plate 2 also in Appendix D.
The chemical test results indicate that the samples
from both above and below the dump met both the Canadian and
British Columbia Drinking Water Quality Standards. The
9 Hardy BBT Limited
CO'!SULTING ENGINEERING & PAOFESSION•L SERVICES

-
concentrations of radioactive nuclei and Polychlorinated
Biphenyls (PCB) are below the acceptable levels.
The increase in sodium, chloride and hardness level
in test hole 2 (about 7 m down gradient from the landfill
site) indicates minor leaching and is to be expected.
The high suspended solids levels ind i cate tha t th e
water sample was merely esthetical l y objectionable and
contained fine soil particles due to the auger drilling.
If these test holes had been developed into a supp l y we ll!
the suspended solids level would be in the normal acceptable
range.
6.0 DISCUSSION AND RECOMMENDAtIONS

The soil conditions in the land f ill site indicat e
that the only groundwater is perched on the r elatively
impermeable clay till. All near surface groundwater movement
will be within the surficial silty sand till layer. Bas e d on
the laboratory test results, no contaminatio n of this
groundwater has occurred at present.
Considering the hydrogeologicai environment and the
nature of the refuse encountered in the landfill, we do not
feel that contamination of groundwater to occur in the ar ea.
The exposed materials seen in the dump are quite inert and
their eventual decomposition is not expected to pose an
environmental problem.
It is recommended that final surface treatment and
grading be done to minimize i nfiltration of surface water and
leaching through the garbage . We recommend that the
groundwater quality should be monitored on a regular interval
of twice a year.
The final soil cover over the landfill site should
be of low permeable soil compacted to a minimum 95 percent
Standard Proctor density. , The final site surface should have

- 7 -
a minimum gradient of 3 percent to promote water drainage and

to prevent water ponding. The site should be examined
periodically for surface rutting due to decomposition of
refuse. ruts should be filled in or the area graded.
Interceptor trenches should also be considered to
collect and divert run-off water around the landfill site .
If a more in-depth study of the landfill area i s
required, consideration should be given to additional
monitoring wells to monitor the gr~undwater flow direction
and velocity.
7.0 SUMMARY
A preliminary environmental impact study has been
carried out at the landfill site in CFB Baldy Hughes. Based
on the water chemical analysis, groundwater in the area wa s
not contaminated and met British Columbia Drinking Water
Quality Standards.
We recommend that groundwater should be sampled
twice a year and the landfill site should be graded to
prevent run-off water infiltration.
If a more detailed ex~mination of the landfill site
is required, we would be pleased to offer our assistarrce.
