1. Introduction

1.1 Background

GHD was retained by Canadian National Railway (CN) to provide environmental services associated with a train derailment (Incident) that occurred around midnight on March 7, 2015, at Mile Point 88.7 of CN's Ruel Subdivision, near Gogama, Ontario (Site). The Site location is presented on Figure 1. The Incident involved 37 derailed railcars containing crude oil that ruptured during the Incident, releasing crude oil into the Makami River (River), which drains into Minisinakwa Lake (Lake), a branch of the Mattagami River system.

As part of the environmental emergency response services, GHD investigated potential impacts of the Incident on surface water, sediment, fish, and benthic invertebrate communities by completing comprehensive sampling programs and detailed analyses of the data. Documents presenting details of investigations completed to date have been submitted to the Ontario Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP) and have been shared with the public on the CN Gogama website, and are listed below:

• Toxicological Analysis Technical Letter dated May 29, 2015

• Preliminary Ecological Risk Assessment (Preliminary ERA) dated July 9, 2015

• Comprehensive Ecological Risk Assessment (2015 Comprehensive ERA) dated September 23, 2015

• Sediment Sampling and Results – Fall 2016 dated October 27, 2016

• Updated Ecological Risk Assessment (2016 Updated ERA) dated April 28, 2017

• Updated Ecological Risk Assessment (2017 Updated ERA) dated November 17, 2017

• Ecological Assessment (2018 EA) dated September 19, 2019

Based on data generated during investigations completed at the Site, benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes (collectively referred to as "BTEX"), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and petroleum hydrocarbons (PHCs) were identified as the primary contaminants of concern (COCs).

The following is a brief summary of the work completed through 2019 to assess, remediate, and monitor the aquatic ecosystem.

• Sediment Characterization, Remediation, and Disposal – A sediment remediation program was completed in 2015 and 2016. Sediment remediation was completed using a barge-mounted hydraulic dredge, a manual hydraulic dredge, and excavators, all in a wet condition. Sediment was dewatered and transported off Site for disposal at Cartier landfill. Confirmation sediment samples were collected to determine the effectiveness of the remediation program and the results were incorporated into the ERAs.

• Sediment Monitoring and Risk Assessment – Sediment sampling and benthic invertebrate sampling were completed in 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018 in the River and Lake and the analytical data were used to support Ecological Risk Assessments (ERAs). Fish sampling was

`

GHD | 2019 Ecological Assessment | 11102200 (22) | Page 2

completed in 2015 and 2016. Sediment and benthic invertebrate sampling was completed in 2019 in the River for use in the ongoing ecological assessment; specifically, monitoring recovery of the aquatic ecosystem from remedial actions conducted in 2015 and 2016.

1.2 Adaptive Management

Adaptive management is a systematic approach to risk management that incorporates data and information gained throughout the life of a project and defines a pathway forward. Adaptive management allows for more efficient use of resources as a project progresses by identifying the lines of evidence most useful in achieving project objectives while eliminating those that have limited value. Prior ERA updates were developed and executed in a phased manner using adaptive management, whereby the results of one phase guided the needs of the next phase. The following is a summary of changes in the risk management approach throughout the project to date:

• Benthic invertebrate community data were not used as a primary line of evidence for remediation decisions during the 2015 and 2016 sediment characterization work since:

- Concentrations of COCs were such that ecologically significant impacts were likely.

- Costs related to further investigation without remediation outweighed the costs related to immediate remediation and subsequent assessment and monitoring.

- It was apparent that sediment remediation would reduce the concentrations of the COCs to ultimately achieve a net environmental benefit.

• COCs have a low potential for biomagnification in the food chain. This was confirmed by fish samples collected in 2015 and a subsequent food chain analysis included in the 2015 Comprehensive ERA. As such, analysis of fish tissue was removed from consideration during ecological assessment activities conducted after 2015 but are continuing to be evaluated by the MECP.

• Based on results of the food chain analysis, COCs did not pose a significant risk to avian and mammal wildlife; therefore, risk to wildlife was not evaluated during assessment activities related to sediment conducted after 2015.

• Benthic invertebrates were collected from the River, Minisinakwa Lake, and Farm Lake during the spring in 2015. In 2016, benthic invertebrates were collected in the fall, and in 2017 and 2018 benthic invertebrates were collected in the spring. Farm Lake was excluded from further ecological assessment in 2016 and the Lake was excluded in 2017.

• In 2017, evaluation of risk to benthic invertebrate communities was modified to align with a weight-of-evidence (WOE) approach consisting of three lines of evidence:

- Sediment chemistry based on comparison of concentrations in bulk sediment to the Provincial Sediment Quality Guidelines (PSQGs) and the derivation of Site-specific equilibrium partitioning sediment benchmark toxic units (ESBTUs) for PAHs.

- Evaluation of data collected to characterize the structure of benthic invertebrate communities.

- Sediment toxicity testing results for select sediment samples. Sediment toxicity tests were not completed prior to 2017, as the concentrations of the COCs in bulk sediment did not

Page 8: 2019 Ecological Assessment · GHD was retained by Canadian National Railway (CN) to provide environmental services associated with a train derailment (Incident) that occurred around

`

GHD | 2019 Ecological Assessment | 11102200 (22) | Page 3

justify the need for additional lines of evidence at that time (e.g., sediment chemistry in 2015 was elevated such that adverse effects to benthic invertebrates were nearly certain).

• The ESBTUs were effective in evaluating the initial and post-remediation risk to benthic invertebrates, but are less effective in monitoring recovery compared to the other lines of evidence. The value of the ESBTUs is limited at this stage in the project due to low levels of organic carbon in areas that have been remediated. Therefore, ESBTUs were excluded as a line of evidence in the 2018 Ecological Assessment.

• Bulk sediment chemistry is a useful line of evidence to monitor recovery of the River and will be evaluated by comparing concentrations to the PSQGs. Furthermore, the chemistry data are useful to plot dose-response relationships while assessing the toxicity line of evidence.

• In 2018, an additional reference sample location (Reference Area A-1) was added to improve characterization of the reference benthic communities.

• Prior to 2018, statistical analyses of the invertebrate community data were focused on making group comparisons [i.e., analysis of variance (ANOVA) contrasts] between survey locations and years based on various community metrics (e.g., abundance, diversity, and pollution tolerance scores). In 2018, additional statistical analyses were undertaken to: (a) evaluate if differences in substrate (sediment physical characteristics) had a significant influence on the group comparisons [i.e., analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) contrasts]; and (b) to compare the locations using benthic invertebrate community composition directly (i.e., multivariate analyses on the counts for taxa present).

The lines of evidence and the additional statistical analyses used in the 2018 EA are also in the 2019 EA as they still provide valuable information and comparison points with the previous 2017 and 2018 datasets that allow for monitoring of the benthic invertebrate community recovery in the River.

1.3 Site Description

The Site is located approximately 3.0 kilometres (km) northwest of Gogama, Ontario, as presented on Figure 1. As part of the initial Site planning activities, eight Operational Divisions (Divisions A and C through I) were established along the potentially-impacted water bodies based on the remedial response and boom placement. Division A is at the location of the derailment from just upstream of the rail line, downstream to Old Gogama Road and is considered the Source Area for COCs. Divisions C through I are located downstream of Old Gogama Road, spanning the Mattagami River watershed (including wetlands) to the railroad trestle located at the east end of the Lake. The Operational Divisions are no longer relevant to the work being completed, therefore, are not discussed further in this report.

The Site includes aquatic and riparian habitats that likely support a diversity of fish and wildlife potentially impacted by the Incident (assessment area). The total assessment area is approximately 8 square kilometres (km2), and approximately 8 km in length.

The assessment area is subdivided into multiple investigation areas. Each investigation area includes three benthic invertebrate stations and a corresponding sediment chemistry sample location.

1.5 Problem Formulation

1.5.1 Focus of 2019 Ecological Assessment

PAHs, BTEX, and PHCs are the COCs associated with the Incident. Throughout the project, risk to ecological receptors posed by COCs in surface water and sediment has been evaluated by comparing the higher of the maximum detected concentration and the maximum detection limit ("screening concentration") to the corresponding Ecological Screening Values (ESVs). A COC is identified as potentially causing an adverse effect to ecological receptors if the screening concentration is higher than a conservative ESV. The ecological receptors identified in previous reports are aquatic life in the water column and sediment in the River.

For surface water, the ESVs are the Provincial Water Quality Objectives (PWQOs) identified in Table 2 of MECPs Water Management, Policies, Guidelines, Provincial Water Quality Objectives.

For PAHs in sediment, the ESVs are Lowest Effect Levels (LELs) identified by the MECP (MOE, 2008). For BTEX, the ESVs are Ecological Screening Levels (ESLs) identified by Region 5 of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA, 2003).

Neither MECP, Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment (CCME), nor the USEPA have identified ESVs for total PHCs for bulk sediment. Massachusetts has developed sediment benchmarks for several aliphatic and aromatic fractions of PHCs (Battelle, 2007); however, because analysis for the F1 through F4 fractions and total PHCs does not differentiate between aliphatic and aromatic PHCs, bulk sediment data cannot be compared to these benchmarks. Battelle (2007) identifies aliphatic PHCs (carbon chains) with 13 or more carbons and aromatic PHCs (carbon rings) with 16 or more carbons as not likely toxic due to low solubility. Moreover, the Massachusetts benchmarks were developed using data for PAHs. BTEX and PAHs, which are major constituents of PHCs, have 16 or fewer carbons. In the absence of ESVs for PHCs, concentrations of BTEX and PAHs in bulk sediment can reasonably be used as surrogates for PHCs.

Section 2.1 discusses the data collected and evaluated for the 2019 Ecological Assessment. None of the COCs were detected in any of the 7 surface water samples collected from the River. In the absence of detections in the water column, the 2019 Ecological Assessment focuses on sediment chemistry and the benthic invertebrate community. The potentially-complete exposure pathways and routes for benthic invertebrates are:

• Direct contact with COCs in sediment

• Ingestion and/or uptake of COCs in sediment by benthic invertebrates

1.5.2 Sheen Observations

Recording sheen observations is a way of qualitatively assessing surface water quality. Sheen has been evaluated through all aspects of River monitoring including sediment and benthic invertebrate sampling. Since the end of 2016, the only observed source of sheen in the River is from disturbing sediment on the River bottom and the frequency of the observations of sheen have decreased each

Page 11: 2019 Ecological Assessment · GHD was retained by Canadian National Railway (CN) to provide environmental services associated with a train derailment (Incident) that occurred around

`

GHD | 2019 Ecological Assessment | 11102200 (22) | Page 6

year. Sheen and odour were observed during collection of some of the sediment samples in 2019. Potential constituents in the sheen are BTEX and PHCs, which were analyzed in the surface water. PAHs are also a potential constituent of sheen and were included in the surface water sampling program immediately following the Incident; however, samples were consistently non-detect after April 2015 and analysis of PAHs was subsequently discontinued.

1.6 Site Management Goals

The overall Site management goal prior to the remediation was to remove impacted sediment and facilitate recovery of the quality of surface water, sediment, and habitat within the remediated portion of the River.

Following the remediation, the Site management goal has been to provide a qualitative and quantitative evaluation of the recovery and identify potential adverse effects to ecological receptors exposed to residual concentrations of COCs by using the results from 2017 (the first year post-remediation) as a baseline against which future monitoring data are compared. Additionally, the current year (2019) data are compared to previous post-baseline data (i.e., 2018 in the current evaluation).

1.6.1 Lines of Evidence

Recovery of the impacted benthic invertebrate community of the River was evaluated using the following lines of evidence:

• Comparison of concentrations of BTEX and PAHs in bulk sediment to ESVs.

• Statistical comparison of metrics of benthic invertebrate community structure for investigation areas downstream against reference areas upstream of the derailment site, and comparing the 2019 results against baseline conditions (2017) and against previous post-baseline conditions (2018) for the same investigation area.

• Survival and weight of C. dilutus and H. azteca exposed to sediment collected from eight locations (six locations within and downstream of the Source Area and two reference locations) for 10 days and 14 days, respectively.

2. Summary of Data to Support the 2019 Ecological Assessment

2.1 Data to Support the 2019 Ecological Assessment

From May 7 to 16, 2019, surface water, sediment, and benthic invertebrate samples were collected from the assessment area to support the 2019 Ecological Assessment. Figure 2 presents the investigation areas and sample locations. Methods of collection and laboratory analyses were consistent with previous years and are provided in the 2019 Sampling and Analysis Plan (SAP).

The monitoring results are presented as follows:

• Summary of surface water analytical results for 2019, and Laboratory Certificate of Analysis for 2019 are presented in Appendix B

• Summary of benthic invertebrate analytical results for 2019, and sampling field data sheets for 2019 are presented in Appendix C

• Summary of the toxicity test analyses for 2019 is presented in Appendix D

• Summary of sediment analytical results for 2017, 2018 and 2019, and Laboratory Certificate of Analysis for 2019 are presented in Appendix E

The 2015 and 2016 data were not used to evaluate current conditions in recognition that conditions in the River substantially changed during remediation over that time, and the current management goal is to compare current and future results to the post-remediation baseline established in 2017 and previous post-baseline data (i.e., 2018).

A GHD chemist validated surface water and sediment data prior to use. The data were reviewed to ensure acceptable levels of accuracy and precision. As such, the data may be used as reported with the qualifications noted in the analytical summary tables. Data qualified as estimated were considered acceptable for the purpose of the 2019 Ecological Assessment. The validation memo for the 2019 data is included in Appendix A.

2.1.1 Surface Water

Surface water was collected at seven sample locations, with at least one location in each investigation area. Surface water samples were submitted to Bureau Veritas (BV), formerly Maxxam Analytics, for analysis of BTEX and PHC fractions F1 to F4. In addition, the surface water was observed for presence of odour and/or sheen. The surface water samples were collected below the

surface of the water to confirm that COCs associated with residual sheen are not dissolving into the water column to an appreciable degree.

Table 2.1 summarizes observations noted while collecting the surface water samples.

2.1.2 Sediment

Sediment samples were collected from 24 locations in the River, both downstream and upstream of where the derailment occurred. Sample locations were selected based on the following considerations:

• Highest PAH, BTEX, and/or PHC concentrations

• Former boom locations

• Feedback from Regulators

GHD collected one discrete sediment sample from each benthic station/transect plus three additional sediment samples from the Source Area for chemical analysis. In addition, GHD collected one composite sediment sample from each benthic station/transect for grain size analysis.

Sediment samples were submitted to BV for analysis of 18 parent PAHs, an extended suite of alkylated PAHs (alkyl PAHs), BTEX, and PHC fractions F1 to F4. Sediment samples were also characterized for physical and general chemistry parameters, including grain size, percent solids, total organic carbon (TOC), and moisture. In addition, the sediment substrate was observed for visual and olfactory evidence of COCs. Sample locations were selected to represent worst-case conditions based on field observations. Table 2.2 summarizes observations noted while collecting the sediment samples.

2.1.3 Benthic Invertebrate Survey

GHD collected benthic invertebrate samples from three stations/transects within each investigation area. Each benthic invertebrate sample was composed of five grabs collected along a transect. All grabs collected along a given transect were composited into a single sample. Samples were collected in the same approximate locations sampled in previous years and were co-located with sediment samples collected for chemical analysis. Figure 2.1 below depicts a representative transect and locations of grab samples.

Figure 2.1 Sample Station / Transect

Twenty-one samples were collected and submitted to ZEAS Incorporated (Zeas) in Nobleton, Ontario, for identification of benthic invertebrates to the lowest practical taxonomic level (species where possible) and enumeration. For each transect, the following metrics for benthic invertebrate community structure were calculated:

• Dominant Taxon – Dominant taxa provide an indicator of the overall habitat quality for benthic invertebrate communities. Water bodies where the dominant taxon is more tolerant of pollution may indicate poor stream health or that the waterbody is in a stage of recovery.

• Density – Number of organisms per 0.05 square metre (m2). Generally, higher values are representative of good stream health.

• Taxa richness – Number of distinct taxa per sample. Generally, higher values are representative of good stream health.

• Percent Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, and Trichoptera (EPT) – Subset of taxa richness that describes the percent of specific pollution-intolerant taxonomic orders as an indicator of stream health. It is calculated as the total number of individuals belonging to Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, and Trichoptera in a sample divided by the total count for the sample, expressed as a percentage. Generally, high percentages of EPT are representative of good stream health.

• Shannon-Weiner Diversity Index (H') – Index commonly used to characterize diversity in a community by both abundance and evenness of the taxa present. Generally H’<1 represents substantial pollution, 1-3 moderate pollution, and 3-5 absence of pollution.

• Hilsenhoff Biotic Index (HBI) – Index that assigns a single "tolerance value" to a community, weighted by abundance of each taxonomic group. Values are between 0.0 and 10, where 0.0

Page 16: 2019 Ecological Assessment · GHD was retained by Canadian National Railway (CN) to provide environmental services associated with a train derailment (Incident) that occurred around

`

GHD | 2019 Ecological Assessment | 11102200 (22) | Page 11

represents excellent water quality and no pollution, while 10 represents very poor water quality and severe pollution.

• Simpson Diversity index (Ds) – Index based on number of taxa, total number of individuals, and proportion of the total represented by each taxon. Values are between 0.0 and 1, with higher values representing a lower degree of pollution.

• Percent Oligochaetes – Metric characterizing the abundance of aquatic worms, a taxonomic group that is more tolerant to pollution. Generally, low percentages are indicative of good stream health.

• Percent and Number of Hyalella – Metrics that characterize the abundance of a genus of crustaceans with low tolerance to pollution. Generally, higher percentages and numbers are representative of good stream health.

Table 2.3 (following text) presents the survey data and community metrics. A detailed discussion of the collection methods and data analyses for the benthic invertebrate survey is presented in Appendix C.

2.1.4 Toxicity Tests

Toxicity tests were completed on seven sediment samples using two test organisms: H. azteca and C. dilutus. The samples for the toxicity tests were selected to represent a range of PAH and PHC concentrations in order to establish dose-response relationships for the test endpoints. Samples tested included one upstream reference location (R2), the location with the highest concentrations of PAHs and PHCs (A8), and locations with low to moderate concentrations for the remaining five samples (C8, C2, C3, C7, and E4).

Exposure duration was 10 days for C. dilutus and 14 days for H. azteca. Survival and dry weight (representative of growth) were the test endpoints for both species. Tests were conducted in accordance with standard procedures for C. dilutus (Environment Canada, 1997) and H. azteca (Environment Canada, 2013). Differences were considered ecologically significant if survival or dry weight of the test organisms exposed to sediment from the impacted areas were more than 20 percent lower than for organisms exposed to sediment from the field reference locations upstream of the Incident (Canada Ontario Agreement [COA] Sediment Task Group, 2008). A detailed discussion of the toxicity test analyses is presented in Appendix D.

3. Uncertainties in Data Evaluation

Prior to discussion of the monitoring results for the various biological and chemical analyses conducted, it is appropriate and important to identify factors that may introduce uncertainty in the findings. The main identified sources of potential uncertainly are presented in the following sections.

Page 17: 2019 Ecological Assessment · GHD was retained by Canadian National Railway (CN) to provide environmental services associated with a train derailment (Incident) that occurred around

`

GHD | 2019 Ecological Assessment | 11102200 (22) | Page 12

3.1 Benthic Invertebrate Community Sampling Coverage

Generally, there is uncertainty in the areal distribution of COCs throughout an impacted area of a water body.

The sample locations were selected to identify areas with the highest concentrations of total PAHs and total PHCs that represent worst-case conditions based on field observations from the River and Lake during response activities. The areas with the highest observed levels of impact are the Source Area and collection points along the River where booms were positioned during the response. Additional investigation areas were also added after 2015 based on feedback from community representatives and the Regulators. Based on information collected to date, the investigation areas are representative of worst-case conditions in the River that can influence the structure of benthic invertebrate communities. As such, the magnitude of uncertainty associated with sampling coverage is assumed to be small.

3.2 Masked Differences in Inter-group Comparisons

There is uncertainty in the inter-group comparisons using ANOVA and ANCOVA. The differences between groups for metrics and indices selected to represent the benthic community structure (i.e., diversity, abundance, etc.) may be masked if similar metric scores are obtained but different taxa are present (e.g., different taxa that may have similar pollution tolerance are present in different locations).

Furthermore, there is uncertainty in the year to year comparisons which can influence indices such as taxa richness. For example, if a taxon is identified to species level one year, but to a higher level (e.g., genus) another year due to the immature state of specimens, taxa richness values from year to year may be masked by the different level of specimen identification and imply an artificial change in community.

Additional multivariate statistical analyses were employed to identify differences between the groups with results that could be masked in the ANOVA and ANCOVA of the individual community metrics. Inputs for the multivariate analyses are counts for each group present in a sample.

3.3 Applicability of Benthic Invertebrate Community Surveys

Benthic invertebrate community surveys and the associated metrics were originally developed to evaluate nutrient pollution (as opposed to chemical pollution) but can also be used to evaluate pollution related to hydrocarbon spills. Given that the released product consists of biodegradable hydrocarbons, it is expected that aquatic bacteria could create an oxygen demand similar to typical nutrient pollution (e.g., Cailleaud et al., 2019). However, there is some degree of uncertainty as to the oxygen demand of hydrocarbon pollution relative to nutrient pollution.

The control/impact study design and multi-metric assessment approach is an industry standard for evaluation of benthic invertebrate communities. The structure of benthic invertebrate communities is strongly influenced by multiple natural conditions such as substrate type, flow regime, water depth, riparian cover, season, and rainfall. Given these strong potential influences, there is some degree of uncertainty related to whether or not variability related to adverse effects from the Incident would be distinguishable from natural variability observed in the reference locations.

GHD | 2019 Ecological Assessment | 11102200 (22) | Page 13

3.4 Statistical Power Limitations

Statistical power is the probability that a statistical test is able to detect a significant effect, if present (e.g., a difference in community metrics between locations or years). Statistical power is affected by the magnitude of the potential effect, the selected significance level (i.e., confidence of the test), the sample size, and inherent variance within the data.

Datasets with a small number of samples and large variance have relatively low power to detect statistically significant differences. For the 2019 dataset (as well as previous years), statistical power has been limited by the small sample size and relatively large variability in the benthic invertebrate community metric data. As such, there is uncertainty as to whether the absence of a statistically significant difference is real, or if a small effect is simply not identifiable given the survey design.

Measures taken to improve statistical power in the contrasts implemented for the 2018 EA were continued in the analysis of the 2019 data, specifically:

1. Pooling study areas to increase the number of samples within each grouping. Specifically, considering the reference area as pooled Areas A and A-1 (Reference Areas), the source area as Area B-1 (Source Area), the near-downstream area as pooled Areas B and C (Near Downstream Areas), and the far-downstream areas as pooled Areas D and E (Far Downstream Areas).

2. Decreasing the confidence level of the tests (e.g., from the initial 95 percent to a lower 90 percent confidence level), to balance statistical significance and statistical power (as these are inversely related to one another).

3. Conducting multivariate analyses, which are independent of underlying distribution (i.e., normality) and variance and comparing results to the ANOVA and ANCOVA for the individual community metrics.

3.5 Applicability of the Results of the Toxicity Tests

As described in the MECP Guidelines (MOE, 2008), the results of the toxicity tests may not reliably predict effects in field populations. As such, assessment of recovery of benthic invertebrate communities includes consideration of all lines of evidence evaluated.

4. Assessment of Benthic Invertebrate Communities

4.1 Approach

Using a WOE approach, assessment of the recovery of benthic invertebrate communities considers three lines of evidence: bulk sediment chemistry, benthic invertebrate community structure, and sediment toxicity testing. In interpreting the 2019 data, bulk sediment chemistry and benthic invertebrate community structure are given higher weights than toxicity testing as they are direct measurements of field conditions. Bulk sediment chemistry data are likely to be given a lower weight for future monitoring events as the 2019 data indicate that concentrations of PAHs and PHCs are decreasing and consistently below PSQGs. Table 4.1 Table 4.2

Page 19: 2019 Ecological Assessment · GHD was retained by Canadian National Railway (CN) to provide environmental services associated with a train derailment (Incident) that occurred around

`

GHD | 2019 Ecological Assessment | 11102200 (22) | Page 14

4.2 Line of Evidence 1 – Sediment Chemistry

In 2019, sediment was analyzed for 18 parent PAHs, 16 alkylated PAHs, BTEX, and PHCs. The sediment analytical results for 2019, as well as from previous years, are summarized in Appendix E.

Concentrations of PAHs did not exceed the ESVs in any samples. None of the BTEX constituents were detected in any sample.

The concentrations of PAHs and PHCs in samples collected in 2019 were generally lower with few exceptions, compared to 2017 and 2018. In 2017, 2018, and 2019, concentrations of PAHs were detected above the laboratory detection limits in some of the reference locations.

Neither MECP, CCME, nor USEPA identify ESVs for PHCs. In the absence of ESVs for PHCs, BTEX, and PAHs can reasonably be used as surrogates of PHCs. Because concentrations of PAHs in samples were below ESVs and BTEX constituents were not detected, concentrations of the more toxic fractions of PHCs (i.e., less than 16 carbons) are unlikely to adversely affect benthic invertebrates.

4.3 Line of Evidence 2 – Benthic Invertebrate Community Structure

Metrics of benthic invertebrate community structure were evaluated using ANOVA and ANCOVA for inter-group comparisons contrasting the different monitoring locations (upstream pooled Reference Areas, Source Area, Near Downstream Areas, and Far Downstream Areas) and years (2017 baseline and 2018 and 2019 post-baseline). Additionally, multivariate analyses were undertaken to identify similarities and differences between the individual transects (defined in Section 2.1.3). Inputs for the multivariate analyses were the individual organism counts for each transect (i.e., pooling areas to increase statistical power was not required for these analyses). Comparisons between transects were performed utilising a series of statistical tests and procedures. The statistical methods are introduced below, followed by the results of the statistical analyses.

4.3.1 Statistical Procedures

4.3.1.1 Analysis of Variance (ANOVA)

Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was used to test for statistically significant differences in individual metrics between investigation areas and years. The 2019 group means for each community metric for the Source Area and Downstream Areas (Near Downstream and Far Downstream Areas) were compared to the group mean for the upstream pooled Reference Areas, and the means for 2019 were compared against the baseline year (2017) and first post-baseline year (2018) mean. ANOVAs were performed using SYSTAT 10 for Windows, and were interpreted at a significance level of 0.10 (90 percent confidence).

4.3.1.2 Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA)

In order to account for potential substrate-related influence on the benthic invertebrate community survey results, ANCOVA was used to repeat the ANOVA tests above including an index of sediment composition as a covariate. Specifically, a single metric of the predominant grain size, phi, was used as the covariate. Composite sediment samples co-located with benthic invertebrate samples were analyzed for percent sand, silt, and clay. Based on the scale developed by Krumbein (1938), a

Page 20: 2019 Ecological Assessment · GHD was retained by Canadian National Railway (CN) to provide environmental services associated with a train derailment (Incident) that occurred around

`

GHD | 2019 Ecological Assessment | 11102200 (22) | Page 15

modified mean value for phi was calculated for each composite sample as the weighted mean, based on percentages of sand, silt, and clay.

ANCOVAs were calculated using SYSTAT 10 for Windows and interpreted at a significance level of 0.10 (i.e., 90 percent confidence). Since samples for grain size analyses were not collected during the baseline year (2017), the ANCOVAs considered only post-baseline contrasts (i.e., within 2019 and 2019 vs. 2018).

4.3.1.3 Multivariate Analyses

Multivariate statistical procedures were used to identify similarities and differences between the groups (transects and year) that could be masked in the ANOVA and ANCOVA of the individual metrics and reduce uncertainty.

Non-parametric multivariate analyses (which do not make data distribution assumptions) were carried out using PRIMER Version 7.0.13 (Clarke & Warwick, 2001). Data were square-root transformed to reduce the influence of highly abundant taxa. A similarity matrix was then calculated between all samples based on the Bray-Curtis similarity measure. Non-metric multidimensional scaling (nMDS) was then used to produce ordination plots as graphical representations of key spatial and/or temporal similarities and differences between the benthic invertebrate communities. Stress values associated with the ordinations were examined to identify accuracy of the ordinations (less than 0.2 indicates a potential useful 2-dimensional ordination). Significance was tested using non-parametric permutation analyses of variation (PERMANOVA). Taxa that contributed most to differences were identified using similarity percentages (SIMPER), which quantify the contribution of each taxon to the mean dissimilarity between groups, and to the mean similarity within a group.

4.3.2 Results and Interpretation

4.3.2.1 Overview

Tables 4.1 and 4.2 (following text) summarize the results of the ANOVAs and ANCOVAs, respectively.

ANOVAs and ANCOVAs identified some statistically significant differences between investigation areas for the 2019 data and 2019 compared to previous years (2017 baseline and 2018 post-baseline). The ANOVA results are interpreted recognizing that the precision of the contrasts (i.e., ability to detect small differences in mean community metrics) may be limited. Nonetheless, there is some evidence that the benthic invertebrate community may be recovering in certain areas, particularly in the Source Area and Near Downstream Areas, and to a lesser extent in Far Downstream Areas. It is uncertain at this time whether the improvements in 2019 are due to recovery from the Incident, natural between-year variability, factors associated with the Incident, unrelated factors, or some combination thereof.

Overall the 2019 invertebrate community results indicated a lower quality benthic invertebrate community relative to the 2017 baseline and 2018 post-baseline, including the Reference Areas. This result maintains a similar uncertainty of whether this is indicative of natural between-year variability or other influencing factors. Notwithstanding the apparent decrease in the quality of the

`

GHD | 2019 Ecological Assessment | 11102200 (22) | Page 16

Reference Areas, metrics for the Reference Areas are interpreted to be representative of a healthy benthic invertebrate community, and are used to evaluate recovery in the assessment area.

4.3.2.2 Dominant Taxa

Dominant taxa are an indicator of the overall habitat quality for benthic communities. In general, change from a dominant taxon at baseline (2017) that is more tolerant to a less tolerant dominant taxon in subsequent years can be interpreted as improved habitat quality. Table 4.3 identifies the dominant taxa within each area by year.

(family Ceratopogonidae) [10%]

L. udekemianus has substantially higher tolerance value (10) than Rheosmittia (6) and Mallochohelea (6).

In 2019, the dominant taxa in Reference Areas and Far Downstream Areas have higher tolerance values than the dominant taxa in baseline year 2017. This change in dominant taxa is not likely due to residual effects of the Incident. Reference Areas (A and A-1) are upstream of the Incident. Far Downstream Areas (D and E) are the furthest from the Incident and where remedial actions took place. In contrast, the dominant taxa in Source Area B-1 in 2018 and 2019 have lower tolerance values than the dominant taxon in baseline year 2017, which suggests conditions have improved.

Figure 4.1 Mean Density by Area

The results for mean density suggest that habitat for benthic invertebrates was less suitable in the Reference Areas, Near Downstream Areas, and Far Downstream Areas in 2019 compared to previous years. However, density in the Source Area did not significantly decrease in 2019, which could indicate that impacts in the Source Area are diminishing over time.

4.3.2.4 Taxa Richness

Taxa richness is the number of different taxon in a sample. Generally, higher values are representative of good stream health. Table 4.5 summarizes taxa richness within each area in 2017, 2018, and 2019.

Figure 4.2 Taxa Richness by Area

Taxa richness in the Source Area and Near Downstream Areas was significantly lower than the Reference Areas in 2019. Compared to previous years, taxa richness in 2019 was slightly lower in all areas, but only significantly lower in the Source Area. This may be reflective of lower organism counts overall in 2019 (see previous Section). These results suggest that residual impacts are present in the Source Area and Near Downstream Areas. Taxa richness in the Far Downstream Areas in 2019 was not significantly different than the Reference Areas nor was it significantly different between years. This suggests the Far Downstream Areas have recovered from adverse effects the Incident may have had on taxa richness or was less impacted compared to investigation areas nearer to the Incident.

Figure 4.3 Mean Percent EPT by Area

Percent EPT in the Source Area and Near Downstream Areas was significantly lower than the Reference Areas in 2019. Compared to previous years, percent EPT in 2019 was significantly lower than 2018 in the Near Downstream Areas (ANOVA). The overall pattern indicates a reduction in percent EPT in the Source Area and Near Downstream Areas in 2019. These results suggest that residual impacts to sensitive benthic taxa are potentially present in the Source Area and Near Downstream Areas. Percent EPT in the Far Downstream Areas in 2019 was not significantly different than the Reference Areas nor was it significantly different between years. This suggests the Far Downstream Areas have recovered from adverse effects the Incident may have had on percent EPT or was less impacted compared to investigation areas nearer to the Incident.

4.3.2.6 Shannon-Weiner Diversity Index (H')

Shannon-Weiner Diversity Index (H’) characterizes diversity in a community based on abundance and evenness of the taxa present. Generally a value below 1 represents substantial pollution, between 1 and 3 suggests moderate pollution, and between 3 and 5 indicates absence of pollution. Table 4.7 summarizes Shannon-Weiner Diversity within each area in 2017, 2018, and 2019.

Figure 4.4 Shannon-Weiner Diversity Index (H’) by Area

Shannon-Weiner Diversity in the Source Area (ANOVA and ANCOVA) and Near Downstream Areas (ANCOVA) was significantly lower than the Reference Areas in 2019. Compared to previous years, H’ in 2019 was significantly lower than 2017 and 2018 in the Reference Areas (ANOVA), Source Area (ANOVA and ANCOVA for 2018), and Near Downstream Areas (ANOVA and ANCOVA for 2018). This pattern indicates an overall reduction in H’ in 2019. The significant differences in the Source Area and Near Downstream Areas suggest that residual impacts are potentially present in these areas. H’ was also significantly lower in 2019, which indicates that differences may be attributable to, at least to some degree, natural year to year variation. H’ for the Far Downstream Areas in 2019 was not significantly different from 2017 or 2018, which suggests year to year variation in diversity may not be the same in all investigation areas.

4.3.2.7 Hilsenhoff Biotic Index (HBI)

The Hilsenhoff Biotic Index assigns a "tolerance value" to each taxon present and calculates overall index for a community weighted by abundance of each taxon. Values are between 0.0 and 10, where 0.0 generally represents excellent water quality and no pollution and 10 represents very poor water quality and severe pollution.

Table 4.8 summarizes HBI within each area in 2017, 2018, and 2019. Tolerance value coefficients were identified during the current evaluation for several taxa previously lacking these values. In order to provide comparable HBI values over time, the calculations for 2017 and 2018 were updated and, therefore, differ slightly from those previously reported.

Figure 4.5 Hilsenhoff Biotic Index by Area

The HBI in the Source Area and Near Downstream Areas was significantly higher than the Reference Areas in 2019. Compared to previous years, HBI in 2019 was also significantly higher for the Source Area and Near Downstream Areas than in 2017 (ANCOVA) and 2018 (ANOVA and ANCOVA). These results suggest that residual impacts are present in the Source Area and Near Downstream Areas. HBI was not significantly different between years for the Reference Area or the Far Downstream Areas. As the HBI is an index of overall tolerance of benthic invertebrate communities, the absence of differences between years suggests that neither the Reference Area nor Far Downstream Areas have responded to chemical stressors since baseline was established in 2017.

Figure 4.6 Simpson’s Diversity Index by Area

Ds in the Source Area (ANOVA and ANCOVA) was significantly lower than the Reference Areas in 2019. Compared to previous years, Ds in 2019 was significantly lower than 2017 and 2018 in the Reference Areas (ANOVA only) and Source Area (ANOVA and ANCOVA for 2018). This pattern indicates an overall reduction in H’ in 2019. The significant difference in the Source Area suggests that residual impacts are present in these areas. Ds was also significantly lower in 2019, which indicates that differences may be attributable to, at least to some degree, natural year to year variation. Similar to H’, Ds for the Far Downstream Areas in 2019 was not significantly different from 2017 or 2018, which suggests year to year variation in diversity may not be the same in all investigations areas.

Figure 4.7 Percent Oligochaetes by Area

Percent oligochaetes in the Near Downstream Areas (ANOVA and ANCOVA) was significantly higher than the Reference Areas in 2019. Compared to previous years, percent oligochaetes in 2019 in the Near Downstream Areas was also significantly higher than 2018 (ANOVA and ANCOVA). However, Figure 4.7 suggests that percent oligochaetes in the Source Area in 2019 was also high compared to previous years and upstream, but was not statistically significant due to high variability and the lower number of replicates (3) compared to the other pooled areas (with 6 replicates each). The results suggests that residual impacts and/or habitat impairment are potentially present in the Source Area and Near Downstream Areas.

Number and percent Hyalella in the Source Area in 2019 were significantly lower than the Reference Areas (ANOVA and ANCOVA). Compared to previous years, percent Hyalella in 2019 was significantly higher in the Reference Areas in 2018 (ANOVA and ANCOVA) and Far Downstream Areas than 2017 (ANOVA) and 2018 (ANOVA and ANCOVA). These results suggest that conditions in the Reference Areas and Far Downstream Areas were more favorable for Hyalella in 2019, whereas the Source Area and Near Downstream Areas have not yet recovered to conditions to support a higher number and percent Hyallela.

4.3.2.11 Multivariate Statistics

Figure 4.10 presents non-metric multidimensional scale (nMDS) ordination plots of benthic invertebrate samples collected from each area in 2017, 2018 and 2019. Each point on the nMDS ordination represents a benthic invertebrate sample and the distance between points is based on the relative similarity between samples. That is, samples closer together on the ordination have a more similar community composition (i.e. taxa present and abundance of each taxa). Alternatively, samples further apart have more differences in the community composition.

The ordination identifying samples from year of origin suggests 2019 had a more distinct benthic invertebrate community composition compared to 2017 and 2018. This is illustrated by the separation of 2019 samples ( green squares) from the other two years. There are relatively fewer differences between 2017 ( blue triangles) and 2018 ( red triangles) given that the samples overlap on the ordination. In nMDS ordinations, a shorter distance or overlap between data points illustrates similarity within or between communities, while greater distance between data points indicates dissimilarity within or between communities.

GHD | 2019 Ecological Assessment | 11102200 (22) | Page 35

When samples are identified by area, there are some notable groupings:

• Reference Area A ( gray cross) and Reference Area A-1 ( green X), with Downstream Area E ( blue triangle)

• Downstream Area B ( purple diamond) and Source Area B-1 ( light blue circle) with Downstream Area C (green square).

• The Downstream Area D ( red triangle) is intermediate between these two groupings.

Figure 4.11 nMDS Ordination Plot for Investigation Areas in 2019

However, the ordinations have a stress value >0.2 indicating the relationship among samples should be checked against other analyses such as tests for significance (Clarke & Warwick, 2001). The two-way PERMANOVA detected significant differences between both years and areas (P < 0.05). Given there was no significant interaction between year and area, pairwise comparisons were examined for each main effect (i.e. years across all areas; areas across all years).

The pairwise comparisons of years found that all were significantly different to one another. However, the strength of the difference was greatest between 2019 and the other two years. The main driver of the yearly differences is the lower abundances of many taxa in 2019 compared to previous years, particularly 2017. Pairwise comparisons of the different areas is best illustrated by an nMDS ordination using the centroid location for each area illustrated in Figure 4.11. That is, the ‘middle point’ for each area is used to summarise the similarity between each area (see Figure 4.12).

Figure 4.12 nMDS Ordination Plot Centroids for Investigation Areas in 2019

The nMDS ordination of centroids for each area suggests Reference Area-A and Area A-1 had a similar benthic community composition. This was confirmed by pairwise comparisons that detected no significant differences (P > 0.05). Moving downstream, there was a large change in composition. Source Area B-1 and Area B had a significantly different compositions compared to Reference Area-A and Area A-1 (P < 0.05). Furthermore, Source Area B-1 and Downstream Area B, and Downstream Area C, were not different from one another (P > 0.05). Further downstream, there was a trajectory of change with Downstream Areas D and E becoming more different to Source Area B-1 and Downstream Area B, but not returning to a composition that was more similar to the Reference Areas.

Figure 4.13 illustrates differences in benthic invertebrate community composition between the areas. Note that the areas have been pooled based on the pairwise comparisons discussed above to illustrate the broad changes in community composition. For example, there were no significant differences between Reference Area A and Area A-1 so these were pooled. Major changes in composition include a decrease in the mean abundance of bivalve molluscs (Amnicola) and the indicator amphipod Hyallela moving downstream from Reference Areas A and Area A-1 to Source Area B-1 and Downstream Areas B and C. There was also a decrease in blackfly larvae (Simuliidae), riffle beetle larvae (Dubiraphia) and midgefly larvae (Polypedilum scalaenum). Alternatively, at Source Area B-1 and Downstream Areas B C there was an increase in oligochaetes (Auldilus pluriseta, Limnodrilus udekemianus and Tubificinae), molluscs (Cyclocalyx), and midgefly larvae (Procladius, Rheotanytarsus and Parakiefferiella). Further downstream at Downstream Areas D and E there was a decrease in oligochaetes (A. pluriseta, L. udekemianus and Tubificinae), molluscs (Cyclocalyx), and midgefly larvae (Tanytarsus, Procladius and Parakiefferiella), and increases in the indicator amphipod Hyallela, biting midges (Mallochoelea), midgefly larvae (Rheosmittia and Pagastiella), and bivalve molluscs (Amnicola).

The major changes at Downstream Areas D and E when compared to Reference Area A and Area A-1 were higher abundances of biting midges (Mallochoelea), midgefly larvae (Rheosmittia, Parakiefferialla, Helopelopia and Procladius), oligochaetes (A. pluriseta), and bivalve molluscs (Amnicola) at the downstream areas. Alternatively, at downstream areas there were lower abundances of blackfly larvae, riffle beetle larvae, midgefly larvae (P. scalaenum, Tanytarsus and Polypedilum halterale), caddisfly larvae (Oxyethira), and bivalve molluscs (Sphaerium). Interestingly, there were lower abundances of the indicator amphipod Hyallela at Downstream Area D but noticeably higher abundances at Downstream Area E compared to Reference Area A and Area A-1.

Figure 4.13 SIMPER Outputs of Taxa Contributing up to 70% of the Dissimilarity

The above analyses demonstrate that the Incident has likely impacted Source Area B-1 and Downstream Area B, where remedial actions were completed and Downstream Area C. This is illustrated by these areas having a community composition more tolerant to pollution compared to other areas. An important aspect of this assessment is to determine if there is evidence of recovery. Previous analyses based on 2017 and 2018 identified a relatively high variability among samples within each area as the major component of the PERMANOVA model which, combined with a low sample size, may have contributed to the lack of significant differences in some of the multivariate analyses. Consequently, when examining changes within an area overtime, it may be more appropriate to identify patterns based on nMDS ordinations and SIMPER analyses to provide an illustrative comparison of the community as a whole by investigation area and year to focus on evidence of trends towards similarity. To examine this, Figure 4.14 plots the centroids on the nMDS ordination plots for the Reference Areas, Source Area B-1, and Downstream Areas for 2017, 2018, and 2019.

Figure 4.14 nMDS Ordination Plot Centroids for Investigation Areas Showing 2017 - 2019

Figure 4.14 demonstrates an interesting pattern in trajectories in that the Reference Areas, Downstream Area D and to some extent Downstream Area E, have undergone a uniform change away from the community composition of 2017. This may indicate a natural seasonal change in communities. The trajectory of Source Area B-1 and Downstream Areas B and C moved away from the Reference Areas from 2017 to 2018. However, from 2018 to 2019 they followed the same trajectory and became more similar to the Reference Areas, particularly Area C, which suggests that these areas are recovering.

4.4 Line of Evidence 3 – Toxicity Tests

Toxicity tests conducted in 2017 and 2018 evaluated survival and growth (dry weight) of C. dilutus and H. azteca exposed to four and eight sediment samples, respectively. For the 2019 monitoring event, C. dilutus and H. azteca were exposed to seven sediment samples using the same test methodologies as in 2017 and 2018. Toxicity was determined based on two criteria. One criterion was a statistical comparison of the survival and dry weight in sediment from samples collected downstream of the derailment to field sediment collected from an upstream reference location. The other criterion was percent difference from the field reference. A test sediment was identified as causing an ecologically significant adverse effect if survival and/or dry weight for one or both test species was significantly different and more than 20 percent lower than the field reference (MOE, 2008). The toxicity tests for both species included a negative laboratory control conducted on sediment on provided by the laboratory. Although the negative controls were not used to evaluate toxicity of sediment from the assessment area, they were considered in interpretation of the results.

4.4.1.1 Survival

Survival of C. dilutus exposed to sediment from location A8 (68 percent) is significantly lower than the reference sediment R2 (92 percent). The difference in survival of -30 percent exceeds the 20 percent threshold for ecological significance. Sediment from the location A8 tested in 2018 is also significantly lower than reference sediment with a difference in excess of 20 percent. Location A8 is located in Source Area B-1.

For all other test sediments, there are no significant differences from either the negative control or reference sediment. Percent differences from the reference sediment range from -16.5 percent for location C2 (Downstream Areas B and C) to +6.3 percent for location E4 (Downstream Area D).

Figure 4.15 plots percent survival vs. total PAH concentration for the pooled data for 2017, 2018, and 2019. The best-fit regression equation is polynomial, with a Coefficient of Determination (R2) of 0.770. Survival of 80 percent or greater is estimated at concentrations of total PAH below approximately 16 mg/kg. This is the same estimated threshold identified in the 2018 Ecological Assessment.

Page 47: 2019 Ecological Assessment · GHD was retained by Canadian National Railway (CN) to provide environmental services associated with a train derailment (Incident) that occurred around

`

GHD | 2019 Ecological Assessment | 11102200 (22) | Page 42

The only test concentrations greater than 16 mg/kg are 34.5 mg/kg for location C3 in 2017 and 23.8 mg/kg for location A8 in 2018. Survival for these samples are 4 and 66 percent, respectively. Survival for the sample from location A8 in 2019 is 68 percent for a test concentration of 4.90 mg/kg. Four other samples with test concentrations equal to or greater than 4.90 mg/kg do not have a statistically significant adverse effect on survival. This suggests that the total PAH concentration of 4.90 mg/kg may not be the primary cause of low survival for location A8 in 2019.

There is a gap in test concentrations between survival of 92 percent at 11.7 mg/kg and survival of 66 percent at 23.8 mg/kg. Future testing will include test concentrations to address this gap.

Figure 4.15 Chironomus dilutus Survival vs. Total PAH Concentration

Figure 4.16 plots percent survival vs. total PHC concentration for the pooled data for 2017, 2018, and 2019. The best-fit regression equation is polynomial, with a R2 of 0.614. Survival of 80 percent or greater is estimated at concentrations of total PHC below approximately 1,350 mg/kg. This threshold is slightly lower than the 1,500 mg/kg identified in the 2018 Ecological Assessment.

For the pooled dataset, concentrations of total PHC in two sediment samples exceed the estimated threshold of 1,350 mg/kg. Location C3 in 2017 had a concentration of 2,032 mg/kg and survival of 4 percent. Location A8 in 2018 had a concentration of 1,981 mg/kg and survival of 66 percent. A sample from location A8 was also collected and tested in 2019. The concentration for the 2019 sample is 181 mg/kg, which is nearly a full order of magnitude below the concentration in 2018. Survival for the 2019 sample is 66 percent and significantly lower than the reference sediment. The significant difference in survival at concentrations similar to those with no adverse effect suggests that total PHC may not be the only contributor to the low survival of C. dilutus.

There is a gap in test concentrations between survival of 90 percent at 1,015 mg/kg and survival of 66 percent at 1,981 mg/kg. As concentrations of total PHC in all samples tested in 2019 are below the estimated threshold of 1,350 mg/kg it may not be possible to address this gap with in future sampling events.

Figure 4.16 Chironomus dilutus Survival vs. Total PHC Concentration

4.4.1.2 Growth

Dry weight of C. dilutus exposed to sediment from locations A8 (1.18 mg), C3 (1.99 mg), and C8 (1.65 mg) is significantly lower than the reference sediment R2 (2.45 mg). Percent differences for the reference sediment are -70 percent for A8, -21 percent for C3, -39 percent for C8, and -28 percent for E4. These differences exceed the threshold of 20 percent for ecological significance; however, location E4 was not statistically significantly different from reference sediment R2. Furthermore, dry weight for the negative control (1.67 mg) is also significantly lower than the reference sediment R2 and the difference of -38 percent exceeds the threshold of 20 percent. Location A8 is located in Source Area B-1, and locations C3 and C8 are located in the Downstream Areas B and C.

Figure 4.17 plots dry weight vs. total PAH concentration. The best-fit regression equation is exponential, with a R2 of 0.321. The mean dry weight of the one reference sediment for the 2017 tests (2.37 mg), two reference sediments for the 2018 tests (2.40 mg and 2.38 mg) and one reference sediment for 2019 (2.45 mg) is 2.40 mg. A 20-percent reduction in dry weight 1.92 mg. For the pooled dataset, a 20 percent reduction (1.92 mg) is estimated at concentrations of total PAH greater than approximately 2.00 mg/kg. Concentrations of total PAH exceed 2.00 mg/kg in seven of the 19 sediment samples tested in 2017, 2018, and 2019. Of these seven samples, dry weight for sediment from location C3 in 2017, location A8 in 2018 and 2019, and location C8 in 2019 is significantly lower and more than 20 percent lower than the reference sediment.

For the pooled dataset, concentrations of total PAH with significantly lower dry weight range from 0.730 mg/kg (E4 in 2018) to 31.5 mg/kg (C3 in 2017). Concentrations with no significant differences range from 0.242 mg/kg (A10 in 2018) to 7.04 mg/kg (C10 in 2019). Due to this large degree of overlap, low value for R2, and high degree of scatter among data points, concentrations of total PAH causing negative effects to growth of C. dilutus are uncertain.

Figure 4.17 Chironomus dilutus Growth vs. Total PAH Concentration

Figure 4.18 plots dry weight vs. total PHC concentration. The best-fit regression equation is exponential, with a R2 of 0.481. A 20 percent reduction (1.92 mg) is estimated at concentrations greater than approximately 40 mg/kg. Concentrations of total PHC exceed 40 mg/kg in all 19 sediment samples tested in 2017, 2018, and 2019. Dry weight for sediment from locations A3, A4, and C3 in 2017, locations A8 and E4 in 2018, and location C8 in 2019 is significantly lower and more than 20 percent lower than reference sediment.

For the pooled 2017, 2018, and 2019 dataset, concentrations of total PHC with significantly lower dry weight range from 105 (location A4 in 2017) to 2,032 mg/kg (location C3 in 2017). Concentrations with no significant differences range from 65 mg/kg (location A10 in 2018) to 1,015 mg/kg (location E4 in 2018). The concentration of 276 mg/kg for location C8, which has significantly lower dry weight, is the highest concentration tested in 2019.

The difference between the lowest test concentration with significantly lower dry weight (105 mg/kg) and the highest concentration with no significant differences (1,015 mg/kg) is an order of magnitude. This large difference and estimated concentration of 40 mg/kg as the effect threshold suggests that dry weight is a poor indicator of toxicity and factors other than PHCs effect dry weight in the C. dilutus tests.

4.4.2.1 Survival

Survival of H. azteca exposed to sediment from location A8 (58 percent) is significantly lower than reference sediment R2 (92 percent). The difference in survival of -45 percent exceeds the 20 percent threshold for ecological significance. Survival for sediment from location A8 tested in 2018 is also significantly lower from reference sediment with a difference in excess of 20 percent. Location A8 is located in Source Area B-1.

For all other test sediments, there are no significant differences in survival from either the negative control or reference sediment. Percent differences from the reference sediment range from -6.7 percent for locations C3 and C8 (Downstream Areas B and C) to -2.2 percent for location E4 (Downstream Area D).

Figure 4.19 plots percent survival vs. total PAH concentration for the pooled data for 2017, 2018, and 2019. The best-fit regression equation is polynomial, with a R2 of 0.818. Survival of 80 percent or greater is estimated at concentrations of total PAHs below approximately 7.70 mg/kg. Concentrations of three samples in the pooled dataset exceed 7.70 mg/kg: location C3 in 2017 (31.5 mg/kg), location A8 in 2018 (23.8 mg/kg), and location C8 in 2019 (11.7 mg/kg). Of these three samples, survival for location C3 in 2017 and location A8 in 2018 are significantly lower and more than 20 percent lower than the reference sediment.

There is a gap in test concentrations between survival of 86 percent at 11.7 mg/kg and survival of 4 percent at 23.8 mg/kg. Future testing will include test concentrations selected to address this gap.

locations A8 (1,981 mg/kg) and E4 (1,015 mg.kg) in 2018. Survival for all three samples is significantly lower and more than 20 percent lower than the reference sediment.

There is a gap in test concentrations between survival of 88 percent at 461 mg/kg (C3 in 2018) and survival of 70 percent at 1,015 mg/kg (C3 in 2018). Future testing will attempt to test concentrations to address this gap. As the highest concentration of total PHC detected in 2019 is 276 mg/kg, it may not possible to test higher concentrations.

Figure 4.20 Hyalella azteca Survival vs. Total PHC Concentration

4.4.2.2 Growth

Dry weight of H. azteca exposed to sediment from the Source Area (A8), Downstream Areas (C2, C3, C7, and C8), and Downstream Areas (E4) is not statistically different from reference sediment R2. Percent differences range from -31 percent for C3 to -9.5 percent for C2, C7, and E4.

Dry weight for the negative control (0.07 mg) is significantly lower than the reference sediment (0.11 mg) and the difference of -44 percent exceeds the threshold of 20 percent for ecological significance. None of the test sediments are statistically different from the negative control.

Figure 4.21 plots dry weight vs. total PAH concentration. The best-fit regression equation is exponential, with a R2 of 0.713. Mean dry weight of the reference sediments for the 2017 tests (0.17 mg), 2018 tests (0.080 mg and 0.160 mg), and 2019 reference sediment R2 (0.110 mg) is 0.130 mg. A 20-percent reduction in dry weight from 0.130 mg is 0.104 mg. A 20 percent reduction is estimated at concentrations greater than approximately 2.30 mg/kg. Concentrations of total PAH exceed 2.30 mg/kg in seven of the 19 sediment samples tested in 2017, 2018, and 2019. Of these seven samples, dry weight for sediment from location C3 in 2017, location A8 in 2018 and 2019, and location C8 in 2019 is significantly lower than the reference sediment.

For the pooled dataset, concentrations of total PAHs with significantly lower dry weight range from 0.073 mg/kg (E4 in 2018) to 31.5 mg/kg (C3 in 2017). Concentrations with no significant differences range from 0.242 mg/kg (A10 in 2018) to 11.7 mg/kg (C8 in 2019). Due to this large degree of overlap, concentrations of total PAH causing negative effects to growth of H. azteca are uncertain.

Figure 4.21 Hyalella azteca Growth vs. Total PAH Concentration

Figure 4.22 plots dry weight vs. total PHC concentration. The best-fit regression equation is exponential, with a R2 of 0.643. A 20 percent reduction is estimated at concentrations greater than approximately 168 mg/kg. Concentrations of total PHC exceed 168 mg/kg in seven of the 19 sediment samples tested in 2017, 2018, and 2019. Concentrations of total PHC exceed 168 mg/kg at location C3 in 2017, locations A8, C2, C3, and E4 in 2018, location A8 and C8 in 2019. Dry weight for the two samples for 2017 and three of the four samples for 2018 (location C2 is the exception) is significantly lower than the reference sediment. Although concentrations exceed 168 mg/kg, neither of the two samples for 2019 have dry weight significantly lower than the reference.

For the pooled dataset, concentrations of total PHC with significantly lower dry weight range from 105 mg/kg (A3 in 2017) to 2,032 mg/kg (C3 in 2017). Concentrations with no significant differences range from 65 mg/kg (A10 in 2018) to 276 mg/kg (C8 in 2019). The concentration of 276 mg/kg for location C8 is the highest concentration tested in 2019.

There is a gap between the highest test concentration with no significant differences (461 mg/kg) and the concentration of 1,015 mg/kg with significantly lower dry weight. Future testing will include test concentrations to address this gap, if concentrations of total PHC are within this range. There is also uncertainty in the estimated threshold concentration of 168 mg/kg, as dry weight for three of the seven samples exceeding 168 mg/kg is not significantly lower than reference sediment.

Given that the only statistically significant difference is between the negative control and the field reference and the negative control is -44 percent different, it can be reasonably concluded that dry weight is a poor indicator of toxicity and factors other than PHCs effect dry weight in the H. azteca tests.

4.5 Summary of Assessment of Benthic Invertebrate Communities

Recovery of benthic invertebrate communities was evaluated using a WOE approach consisting of three lines of evidence: sediment chemistry, benthic community analyses, and toxicity testing. The MECP Guidelines (MOE, 2008) recommend developing a decision matrix to rank data from the available lines of evidence. Ranking is based on a scale of 1 to 3, with 1 representing a high potential for adverse ecological effects and 3 representing a low potential. The summary of the results and the ranking, according to Table 5 of the MECP Guidelines (MOE, 2008), for each line of evidence is presented in Section 4.5.1. The ranking given for each line of evidence is assessed in combination with the others to develop a decision matrix to determine if additional assessment is required, which is presented in Section 4.5.2.

4.5.1 Ranking the Lines of Evidence and Decision Matrix

Bulk Sediment Chemistry

The rank for bulk sediment chemistry is based on comparison of the sediment analytical results for BTEX and PAHs to the ESVs. None of the BTEX or PAH constituents exceeded the ESVs. BTEX were not detected in any sample and the highest concentrations of PAHs were detected at Location A8.

ESVs are not available for PHC fractions F1 through F4 or total PHCs. PHCs with 16 or more carbons are not likely to be toxic due to low solubility (Battelle, 2007). In the absence of ESVs for PHCs, concentrations of BTEX and PAHs in bulk sediment can reasonably be used as surrogates for PHCs.

Since concentrations of BTEX and PAHs in bulk sediment are below the ESVs, the sediment chemistry line of evidence is assigned a Rank of 3 for each of the areas.

Benthic Invertebrate Community Analyses

The rank of the benthic invertebrate community analyses is based on benthic invertebrate community metrics which were subjected to inter-group comparisons contrasting the different areas (Reference Areas A and A-1, Source Area B-1, Near Downstream Areas B and C, and Far Downstream Areas D and E) and years (focusing on 2017 baseline, 2018 and 2019 post-baseline). Multivariate analyses were undertaken separately for each investigation area (A, A-1, B-1, B, C, D, and E).

MECP Guidelines (MOE, 2008) rank benthic invertebrate community alteration based on differences relative to reference stations. An area is either considered different, very different, possibly different, or equivalent to the reference stations. The following is a summary of the findings of the key differences in the inter-group comparisons.

For 2019, taxa richness, Shannon-Weiner Diversity (H’), Simpson’s Diversity (Ds), percent EPT, and number and percent of Hyalella were all significantly lower, and HBI higher, for the Source Area compared to the Reference Areas. The Near Downstream Areas also had significantly lower taxa richness and percent EPT and higher HBI and percent oligochaetes than the Reference Areas. These results were complimented by the multivariate analyses that also identified significant differences in the community composition of the Source Area and Near Downstream Areas compared to the Reference Areas. The results suggest that the Source Area and Near Downstream Areas have not yet recovered from the Incident and disturbances resulting from remedial activities in 2015 and 2016. These two areas have a less diverse benthic invertebrate community that is more tolerant to pollution than the Reference Areas. Pollution tolerant oligochaetes and midgefly larvae contributed highly to the composition of these areas, while the indicator amphipod Hyalella was relatively rare.

The Far Downstream Areas appear to have recovered from and/or may have been less impacted by the Incident compared to the Source Area. The ANOVA and ANCOVA did not identify significant differences compared to Reference Areas for any of the individual metrics. The multivariate analyses are consistent with the ANOVA and ANCOVA. The community composition in the Far Downstream areas was different than the Reference Areas, which is likely due to natural variation in characteristics of the River, such as habitat structure and composition.

Overall, the multivariate analyses determined all areas have undergone some temporal changes with 2019 having lower densities compared to previous years. Although there was variation among areas, the ANOVA and ANCOVA suggest there was an overall decline in the quality of the communities. The exception to a decline was the statistically significant increase in percent of Hyalella in 2019. However, these increases were restricted to the Reference Areas and Far

`

GHD | 2019 Ecological Assessment | 11102200 (22) | Page 51

Downstream Areas suggesting that the Source Area and Near Downstream Areas have not yet achieved conditions that favour Hyalella over oligochaetes.

It is notable that water levels and flows in 2019 were substantially higher than observed during previous years. Table 4.15 presents the flows observed during the sampling events conducted in 2017, 2018, and 2019.

Table 4.15 Mesomikenda Lake Control Dam Flow (centimeter per second)

Monitoring and Sampling Event

Average Flow (cms) Maximum Flow (cms) Minimum Flow (cms)

2017 (May 1-9) 3.1 7.8 0.0

2018 (May 15-23) 0.0 0.0 0.0

2019 (May 7-16) 39.4 70.8 18.5

The effects of these conditions on the aquatic environment have not been clearly established, but may have influenced the changes in the benthic community observed in 2019 (in particular the overall lower organism counts). Such effects may be better understood in context of data collected in the future under more typical water level conditions. Furthermore, CN will be collecting additional data on the water levels and flow regime of the River in the future to investigate this uncertainty.

Investigating the potential influence of substrate characteristics (i.e., grain size of sediments), ANCOVAs with mean phi (representing the grain size distribution) as the covariate produced similar results as ANOVAs. This suggests that factors other than grain size may be influencing the benthic community metrics. The absence of significant differences for these metrics may be attributable to the small sample size and limited power of ANOVA and ANCOVA to detect significant differences.

The data described above suggest that the overall quality of the benthic invertebrate community in the Source Area and Near Downstream Areas in 2019 was lower compared to previous years, with the caveat that very high water levels during 2019 may have influenced the data. However, this condition was observed across the assessment area in 2019 indicating a temporal influence on the results of the 2019 survey. The 2019 data suggest that the Far Downstream Areas have recovered from and/or may have been less impacted by the Incident compared to the Source Area and Near Downstream Areas. Consistent with previous findings, the Source Area and Near Downstream Areas continue to have less diverse and more pollution-tolerant benthic communities than the upstream Reference Areas and Far Downstream Areas, suggesting that they may still be recovering from the Incident and subsequent remedial actions in 2015 and 2016.

It is uncertain at this time if the statistically significant differences in the benthic community metrics described above are due entirely to the Incident and/or remedial actions, or if they are influenced by naturally occurring unrelated factors such as very high water levels in 2019 (or some combination thereof). Due to this uncertainty, the benthic invertebrate community line of evidence is assigned a Rank of 2 for the Source Area and Near Downstream Areas. For the Far Downstream Areas, the benthic invertebrate community line of evidence is assigned a Rank of 3.

Toxicity Testing

MECP Guidelines (MOE, 2008) rank toxicity based on percent reduction of endpoints (i.e., survival and growth) relative to reference values. A minor reduction is 20 to 50 percent, whereas a major reduction is greater than 50 percent. As discussed above, an adverse effect was considered to be ecologically significant if survival and/or growth was statistically lower than a field reference AND the reduction was greater than 20 percent. The following bullets identify toxicity tests with both statistically significant differences and reduction of greater than 20 percent for survival and/or growth:

• A significant reduction for C. dilutus of 30 percent in survival and 70 percent in growth for sediment from Location A8 (major reduction)

• A significant reduction for H. azteca of 45 percent in survival for sediment from Location A8 (minor reduction)

The following bullets identify toxicity tests with statistical differences for growth only and a reduction of greater than 20 percent:

• A significant reduction for C. dilutus of 38 percent in growth relative to the field reference for the negative control (minor reduction)

• A significant reduction for C. dilutus of 21 percent in growth relative to the field reference, but not the negative control, for sediment from Location C3 (minor reduction)

• A significant reduction for C. dilutus of 39 percent in growth relative to the field reference, but not the negative control, for sediment from Location C8 (minor reduction)

• A significant reduction for H. azteca of 44 percent in growth relative to the field reference for the negative control (minor reduction)

The following bullets identify toxicity tests with a reduction of greater than 20 percent but the reduction is not statistically different from the field reference:

• A significant reduction of C. dilutus of 28 percent in growth for sediment from Location E4 (minor reduction)

• A significant reduction for H. azteca of 31 percent in growth relative to the field reference for sediment from Location C3 (minor reduction)

The significantly lower growth, measured as dry weight, in the negative controls for both C. dilutus and H. azteca relative to the field reference suggests that growth may be adversely affected by factors unrelated to concentrations of PAHs and PHCs in test sediment. Consequently, growth is not a reliable indicator of toxicity for either test species.

Sediment sample location A8 had highest concentrations of PAHs and PHCs. There is relatively good correlation between the concentrations of total PAHs and total PHCs and survival. However, given the significant differences between the reference and negative control, growth is a poor indicator of toxicity. Based on the toxicity results, the toxicity testing line of evidence is assigned a Rank of 1 for the Source Area, a Rank of 2 in the Near Downstream Areas and a Rank of 3 for the Far Downstream Areas.

`

GHD | 2019 Ecological Assessment | 11102200 (22) | Page 53

Overall, although the toxicity tests identified statistically and potentially ecologically significant effects on C. dilutus and H. azteca, the results should be interpreted with caution because laboratory toxicity tests do not reliably predict effects to field populations (MOE, 2008). As such, the results of the toxicity tests should be interpreted in conjunction with the other lines of evidence.

4.5.2 Decision Matrix

Table 6 of MECP Guidelines (MOE, 2008) provides a series of scenarios developed based on a combination of the rankings for the various lines of evidence. Completion of a decision matrix based on Table 6 of MECP Guidelines (MOE, 2008) can be used to identify those areas within the overall assessment area that require further assessment and those areas in which further assessment is not warranted.

The rankings for each line of evidence were discussed in Section 4.5.1 and are summarized below.

Near Downstream Areas (B&C)

3 2 2 3 Determine reasons for benthos alteration and toxicity (track recovery)

Far Downstream Areas (D&E)

3 3 3 3 No further actions needed

Based on the above rankings for the lines of evidence and according to Table 6 of the MECP Guidelines (MOE, 2008), Source Area and Near Downstream Areas fall into Scenario 13 - Determine the reason(s) for sediment toxicity and benthos alteration. Far Downstream Areas fall into Scenario 1 – No further actions needed. Given the uncertainty described in Section 3.1 related to sampling coverage and statistical power and that Far Downstream Areas are downstream of the Source Area, it is appropriate to continue to include these Areas in the 2020 EA.

5. Conclusions

This 2019 EA presents an evaluation of the recovery of benthic invertebrate communities in the assessment area based on a WOE approach that considered three lines of evidence.

The first line of evidence based on the sediment chemistry shows that adverse effects are unlikely given concentrations of BTEX and PAHs are below the ESVs. ESVs are not available for PHCs; however, BTEX and PAHs are reasonable surrogates for PHCs. Even though this line of evidence suggests that adverse effects are unlikely, chemistry is considered as part of the toxicity line of evidence and has shown that the chemistry may be contributing to ecologically significant reductions in survival and growth in areas of the River that are recovering from the Incident or disturbances related to the remedial activities.

`

GHD | 2019 Ecological Assessment | 11102200 (22) | Page 54

The second line of evidence is based on benthic community analyses and continues to suggest that the Source Area, and potentially the Near Downstream Areas, have not yet fully recovered from the Incident or disturbances related to the remedial activities. The analyses described above suggest that conditions in these areas were less favourable in 2019 compared to 2018 and 2017. However, very high water levels prior to the 2019 survey may have influenced the findings of the benthic invertebrate survey. It is therefore uncertain at this time if the statistically significant differences in the various benthic community metrics described above are due to the Incident and/or remedial actions, or are due to naturally occurring unrelated factors (or some combination thereof).

The third line of evidence is toxicity tests on C. dilutus and H. azteca exposed to eight sediment samples collected from the River for 10 days and 14 days, respectively. The toxicity tests identified reductions in survival and/or growth greater than 20 percent in four of the eight samples; specifically, those analyzed from the location A8 (Source Area), location C3 (Downstream Area B), location C8 (Downstream Area C) and location E4 (Downstream Area D), as well as the negative controls. Because there was significantly lower growth in the negative controls and there were no statistically significant differences detected at locations C3 and E4, only differences for location A8 (Source Area) can reasonably be attributable with relative certainty to effects of the Incident and remedial actions. For both C. dilutus and H. azteca, differences in growth for sediments from location C3 and E4 were not significantly different from the negative controls, which also had significantly lower growth from the field reference. These results provide evidence that survival is a relatively good indicator of toxicity to both C. dilutus and H. azteca. However, significant differences in growth for the negative controls relative to reference sediment suggest that factors other than, or in addition to, concentrations of PAHs and PHCs in sediment adversely affect growth of both test species.

The highest test concentration with no ecologically significant adverse effect was estimated based on the concentrations of total PAHs and total PHCs and the pooled results of the 2017, 2018 and 2019 toxicity tests. However, more data are required to confirm that this estimate is reliable and to reduce the gaps between the highest concentrations with no ecologically significant adverse effect and the lowest concentrations with an ecologically significant adverse effect. Selection of concentrations for future testing will attempt to reduce these data gaps. However, because concentrations of PAHs and PHCs have decreased since 2017, concentrations in future monitoring events may be below those needed to address the gaps, particularly for PHCs.

6. Site Monitoring

The 2019 data indicate that, based on the line of evidence for benthic invertebrate community analyses, there are differences between conditions in the Reference Areas and Source Area and Near Downstream Areas, but the factors responsible for the differences have not been confirmed at this time.

To investigate the effect of water levels and the flow regime, CN will be collecting additional data on the water levels and flow regime of the River in the future to investigate this uncertainty.

Based on the decision matrix presented in the Section 4.5.2 and the short duration of monitoring since the 2017 baseline was established, GHD recommends that surface water, sediment, and benthic community analyses continue in the Reference Areas, Source Area, Near Downstream

Areas, and Far Downstream Areas to track recovery and determine whether improvements and differences are due to recovery from the Incident, natural between-year variability, factors associated with the Incident, unrelated factors, or some combination thereof.

Subject: Analytical Data Verification Sediment and Surface Water Toxicity Investigation Canadian National Railway Gogama Derailment – Mile Point 88.7 Gogama, Ontario May 2019

1. Introduction

The following document details an analytical data verification of results for sediment and surface water samples collected in support of the Sediment and Surface Water Toxicity Investigation at the Canadian National Railway Gogama Derailment – Mile Point 88.7 Site in May 2019. Samples were submitted to Bureau Veritas Canada (2019) Inc. (formerly Maxxam Analytics Corporation International) located in Mississauga, Ontario. A sample collection and analysis summary is presented in Table 1. A summary of the analytical methodology is presented in Table 2.

Standard GHD Limited (GHD) report deliverables were submitted by the laboratory. The final results and supporting quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) data were assessed. Evaluation of the data was based on information obtained from the chain of custody forms, finished report forms, method blank data, duplicate data, recovery data from surrogate spikes, laboratory control samples (LCS), matrix spikes (MS), and field QC samples.

The QA/QC criteria by which these data have been assessed are outlined in the analytical methods referenced in Table 2 and applicable guidance from the documents entitled:

i) "USEPA Contract Laboratory Program National Functional Guidelines for Organic Data Review",October 1999, United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) 540/R-99/008

ii) "USEPA Contract Laboratory Program National Functional Guidelines for Inorganic Data Review",USEPA 540/R-94-013, February 1994

iii) "Protocol for Analytical Methods Used in the Assessment of Properties under Part XV.1 of theEnvironmental Protection Act", Laboratory Services Branch, Ministry of the Environment,March 9, 2004, amended as of July 1, 2011

Items i) and ii) will subsequently be referred to as the "Guidelines" in this Memorandum. Item iii) will subsequently be referred to as the "O. Reg. 153 Analytical Protocols".

2. Sample Holding Time and Preservation

The sample holding time criteria for the analyses are summarized in Table 2. Sample chain of custody documents and analytical reports were used to determine sample holding times. Most samples were prepared and analyzed within the required holding times. Data that were obtained past the recommended holding time have been qualified as estimated (see Table 3).

All samples were properly preserved and delivered on ice and stored by the laboratory at the required temperature (<10°C).

3. Laboratory Method Blank Analyses

Method blanks are prepared from a purified matrix and analyzed with investigative samples to determine the existence and magnitude of sample contamination introduced during the analytical procedures.

For this study, laboratory method blanks were analyzed at a minimum frequency of 1 per 20 investigative samples and/or 1 per analytical batch.

All method blank results were non‑detect, indicating that laboratory contamination was not a factor for this investigation.

4. Surrogate Spike Recoveries

In accordance with the methods employed, all samples, blanks, and QC samples analyzed for organics are spiked with surrogate compounds prior to sample extraction and/or analysis. Surrogate recoveries provide a means to evaluate the effects of laboratory performance on individual sample matrices.

All samples submitted for benzene, toluene, ethyl benzene, xylene (BTEX), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) and petroleum hydrocarbon (PHC) determinations were spiked with the appropriate number of surrogate compounds prior to sample analysis.

Each individual surrogate compound is expected to meet the laboratory control limits with the exception of PAH analyses. According to the "Guidelines" for PAH analyses, up to one outlying surrogate in the base/neutral fraction is acceptable as long as the recovery is at least 10 percent.

Surrogate recoveries were assessed against laboratory control limits. All surrogate recoveries met the above criteria.

5. Laboratory Control Sample Analyses

LCS are prepared and analyzed as samples to assess the analytical efficiencies of the methods employed, independent of sample matrix effects.

Page 75: 2019 Ecological Assessment · GHD was retained by Canadian National Railway (CN) to provide environmental services associated with a train derailment (Incident) that occurred around

11102200Memo-39 3

For this study, LCS were analyzed at a minimum frequency of 1 per 20 investigative samples and/or 1 per analytical batch.

Organic Analyses

The LCS contained all compounds of interest. All LCS recoveries were within the laboratory control limits, demonstrating acceptable analytical accuracy.

Inorganic Analyses

The LCS contained all analytes of interest. LCS recoveries were assessed per the "Guidelines". All LCS recoveries were within the control limits, demonstrating acceptable analytical accuracy.

6. Matrix Spike Analyses

To evaluate the effects of sample matrices on the extraction or digestion process, measurement procedures, and accuracy of a particular analysis, samples are spiked with a known concentration of the analyte of concern and analyzed as MS samples. If the original sample concentration is significantly greater than the spike concentration, the recovery is not assessed.

The MS samples were spiked with all compounds of interest. Most percent recoveries were within the laboratory control limits, demonstrating acceptable analytical accuracy. Non-detect results associated with low percent MS recoveries were qualified as estimated (see Table 4)

7. Duplicate Sample Analyses

Analytical precision is evaluated based on the analysis of laboratory duplicate samples. For this study, duplicate samples were prepared and analyzed by the laboratory. The laboratory performed additional site‑specific duplicate analyses internally. The relative percent differences (RPDs) associated with these duplicate samples must be less than 35 percent for sediment samples. If the reported concentration in either the investigative sample or its duplicate is less than five times the reporting limit (RL), the evaluation criteria is a difference of two times the RL value for sediment samples. Most duplicate analyses performed were acceptable, demonstrating acceptable analytical precision. Results which showed variability have been qualified as estimated (see Table 5).

8. Tentatively Identified Compounds

In laboratory report B9C6369, there were tentatively identified compound results that may be potentially biased high due to matrix interference. The associated results were qualified as estimated (see Table 6).

11102200Memo-39 4

9. Additional Silica Gel Clean-up

At the request of the client, the samples were treated with an additional portion of silica gel that is above the maximum amount prescribed in the reference method. The extra silica gel clean-up is considered a deviation from the method, but it is specifically done to remove contributions from biogenic organic compounds, reducing high bias in the petroleum hydrocarbon. It is acceptable under Ontario Regulation 153. Therefore, qualifications are not required.

10. Field QA/QC Samples

The field QA/QC consisted of four trip blank samples, two trip spike samples, two field blank samples and two field duplicate sample sets.

Trip Blank Sample Analysis

To evaluate contamination from sample collection, transportation, storage, and analytical activities, four trip blanks were submitted to the laboratory for BTEX and F1 analysis as outlined in Table 1. All results were non-detect for the compounds of interest.

Trip Spike Sample Analysis

To monitor the breakdown or loss of analytes during the sampling process, two trip spike samples were prepared and submitted to the laboratory for BTEX analyses. The trip spike sample in laboratory report B9C6257 was past holding time, but the percent recoveries were within the laboratory LCS acceptance limits. No qualifications necessary.

Field Blank Sample Analysis

To evaluate contamination from sample collection, transportation, storage, and analytical activities, two field blank samples were submitted "blind" to the laboratory for analysis as outlined in Table 1. All results were non-detect for the compounds of interest.

Field Duplicate Sample Analysis

To assess the analytical and sampling protocol precision, two field duplicate sample sets were collected and submitted "blind" to the laboratory, as specified in Table 1. The RPD associated with these duplicate samples must be less than 100 percent for sediment samples. If the reported concentration in either the investigative sample or its duplicate is less than five times the RL, the evaluation criteria is a difference of two times the RL value for sediment samples.

Most field duplicate results were within acceptable agreement, demonstrating acceptable sampling and analytical precision. Results which showed variability have been qualified as estimated (see Table 7).

Duplicate: Paired analysis of a separate portion of the same sample. Used to evaluate the variance in the measurement.

Matrix Spike: A sample to which a known amount of the analyte of interest has been added. Used to evaluate sample matrix interference.

Spiked Blank: A blank matrix sample to which a known amount of the analyte, usually from a second source, has been added. Used to evaluate method accuracy.

Method Blank: A blank matrix containing all reagents used in the analytical procedure. Used to identify laboratory contamination.

Surrogate: A pure or isotopically labeled compound whose behavior mirrors the analytes of interest. Used to evaluate extraction efficiency.

NC (Matrix Spike): The recovery in the matrix spike was not calculated. The relative difference between the concentration in the parent sample and the spike amount was too small to permit a reliablerecovery calculation (matrix spike concentration was less than the native sample concentration)

NC (Duplicate RPD): The duplicate RPD was not calculated. The concentration in the sample and/or duplicate was too low to permit a reliable RPD calculation (absolute difference <= 2x RDL).

Duplicate: Paired analysis of a separate portion of the same sample. Used to evaluate the variance in the measurement.

Matrix Spike: A sample to which a known amount of the analyte of interest has been added. Used to evaluate sample matrix interference.

Spiked Blank: A blank matrix sample to which a known amount of the analyte, usually from a second source, has been added. Used to evaluate method accuracy.

Method Blank: A blank matrix containing all reagents used in the analytical procedure. Used to identify laboratory contamination.

Surrogate: A pure or isotopically labeled compound whose behavior mirrors the analytes of interest. Used to evaluate extraction efficiency.

NC (Matrix Spike): The recovery in the matrix spike was not calculated. The relative difference between the concentration in the parent sample and the spike amount was too small to permit a reliablerecovery calculation (matrix spike concentration was less than the native sample concentration)

NC (Duplicate RPD): The duplicate RPD was not calculated. The concentration in the sample and/or duplicate was too low to permit a reliable RPD calculation (absolute difference <= 2x RDL).

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Please Note: Bureau Veritas S.A. has been the parent company of Maxxam (Maxxam Analytics

International Corporation) since 2014. To align with our global family, Maxxam Analytics is

formally changing the business operating name to Bureau Veritas Canada (2019) Inc. and we

have moved to Bureau Veritas branding effective June 3, 2019.

Freshwater sediment samples were collected between May 07, 2019 and May 16, 2019 for

testing. Thesamples arrived at Bureau Veritas Laboratories, in good condition, on May 16, 2019

and May 24, 2019.

The following freshwater sediment toxicity tests were conducted on the samples; a 10 day

survival and growth test with the freshwater midge, Chironomus dilutus, and a 14 day survival

and growth test with the freshwater amphipod, Hyalella azteca.

Sample AJR-05 was tested out of hold time for the Chironomus test. The client was notified of

this deviation which was due to the lab having difficulties obtaining organism of the correct age.

For all remaining samples, both sediment tests were initiated within their respective hold times

with the Chironomus test ending on July 01, 2019 and the Hyalella test ending on July 02, 2019.

The sample results were statistically assessed against the reference sediment and negative

control for the Chironomus test and the reference control for the Hyalella test.

Details regarding the test results, methods, test conditions, organism acclimation, and quality

control measures are summarised within the report. All tabulated data, raw data, and

associated supporting documents are located within the report appendices.

Each test was considered valid as survival and growth in the negative control(s) met the validity

criteria outlined in the associated reference methods.

SECTION

1 SEDIMENT DESCRIPTION

1.1 Sample Information

Freshwater sediment samples were collected between May 07, 2019 and May 16, 2019 for

testing. The samples arrived at Bureau Veritas Laboratories, in good condition, on May 16, 2019

and May 24, 2019.

Samples were collected separately for grain size, total organic carbon content, and moisture

content. The data for these analyses were sent directly to the client and are not included in this

report.

All tests were initiated within their respective hold times. Sample information, including sample

descriptions, porewater ammonia analyses, and water quality data are located in Appendix A.

Upon opening the sample containers, a description of each sample was recorded (“Sediment

Sample Descriptions” in Appendix A).

Prior to testing, each field replicate was homogenized, using a stainless steel spoon. Any

headspace in the sample container was purged with nitrogen gas prior to re-sealing it in order to

prevent oxidation of the sediment during storage. When not in use, the sediments were stored

in the dark at 4 ± 2°C.

1.2 Negative Control Sediment

The control sediment (negative control) for the toxicity tests was collected from Yaquina Bay,

Newport, Oregon, by staff of Northwestern Aquatic Sciences. This beach sand has been used as

a negative control in previous studies within our laboratory, and has been found to be non-toxic

to a variety of organisms. It was wet sieved through 500 µm stainless steel mesh and thoroughly

washed with the appropriate control water before use in the tests.

1.3 Porewater Characterization

On Day -1 of Chironomus testing, a seventh replicate of each sample was prepared, filled with

reconstituted control water and aerated overnight, along with the test vessels. The following

morning, the overlying water in the seventh replicate of each sample was decanted and aliquots

of the sediment were distributed into 500 mL polycarbonate bottles. Nitrogen gas was placed

over the sediments prior to centrifuging for 20 minutes at ~5,000 rpm. The resulting porewater

was carefully decanted and analysed for ammonia, pH, and temperature.

Analysis of ammonia in porewater was performed at the Bureau Veritas Laboratories Inorganic

Water Laboratory. The total ammonia concentrations as N (mg/L) in the samples, was measured

under basic conditions using the Berthelot reaction in the presence of EDTA. A sample was

2 10 DAY CHIRONOMUS DILUTUS SURVIVAL AND GROWTH TEST

2.1 Test Methods

The survival and growth of Chironomus dilutus larvae, when exposed to whole sediment samples

for 10 days, was assessed according to the Bureau Veritas Laboratories Standard Operating

Procedure: Chironomus dilutus 10-Day Survival and Growth Test (BBY2SOP-00010), which is

based on the Environment Canada Biological Test Method: Test for Survival and Growth in

Sediment Using the Larvae of Freshwater Midges (Chironomus tentans or Chironomus riparius)

(EPS 1/RM/32).

One day prior to test initiation, the field replicates were individually homogenized, and a 100 mL

aliquot was distributed into a 375 mL labelled test vessel. Reconstituted moderately hard water

was then slowly added to the vessel by pouring a stream of water onto a Plexiglas baffle to

minimize disturbing the sediment layer. The test vessels were then randomized on the bench

top, and airlines and lids were fitted to each test vessel.

A composite sample was produced by combining equal portions of each field replicate. Then,

100 mL of the composite sample was distributed into the sixth and seventh replicate test vessels

for water quality and porewater measurements.

The following day, aliquots of overlying water were removed from the test vessels for initial

overlying water chemistry. The sixth replicate test vessel was used for water quality

measurements for the duration of the test and the seventh replicate was decanted and

centrifuged to extract porewater for ammonia, temperature, and pH measurements (see

Section 1.3). To initiate the test, ten larval chironomids were randomly selected from their

holding containers and directly seeded into the test vessels.

During the test, daily observations and aeration checks were performed. Temperature and

dissolved oxygen measurements were taken three times per week in the test vessels designated

for water quality measurements. Test vessels were also fed 3.75 mL TetraminTM flakes, prepared

as a 4 g dry solids/L slurry, on the days water quality measurements were taken.

At test termination, the contents of each test vessel were sieved through a 500 µm sieve in

order to retrieve the live larval midges. The number of larvae found was recorded along with

any other observations made. The organisms were then placed into pre-weighed aluminum

weigh boats that were subsequently placed into a ~60°C drying oven for >24 hours. Missing

chironomids were presumed to have died and decomposed during the test. Any larval midges

that had reached the pupal or adult stage of development were excluded from the dry weight

analysis, if applicable.

2.2 Organism Information

2.2.1 Organism Acclimation and Holding Information

One batch of laboratory-reared Chironomus dilutus larvae was received from Aquatic Biosystems

on June 21, 2019. The midge larvae were shipped in 1L plastic containers filled with unbleached

paper towels and overlying moderately hard water. Prior to shipping, the headspace in each

container was filled with oxygen gas of a sufficient concentration to maintain adequate

saturation levels in the shipping water. They were shipped directly for overnight delivery to

Bureau Veritas Laboratoies and arrived without incident.

Upon arrival at Bureau Veritas Laboratories, the water quality of the shipping water was

measured and compared to the test conditions. Gentle aeration was supplied to each shipping

container. Any moribund or deceased larvae were removed and recorded on the acclimation

sheet, if applicable (Appendix B).

The chironomid larvae were not fed during the holding period as they were used the same day.

Historically at Bureau Veritas Laboratories, it has been determined that little to no acclimation is

required as long as the shipping, testing, and supplier laboratory conditions are similar.

2.2.2 Organism Health

The mortality rate during shipping did not exceed 10% overall. Bench sheets with the

receiving water quality and observations of the number dead or inactive larvae are available

in Appendix B.

2.2.3 Organism Age

At test initiation, 20 representative larvae were euthanized and their head capsule widths were

measured to the nearest 0.01 mm, using an inverted microscope outfitted with an ocular

micrometer. The average head capsule width of the organism batch was determined to greater

than the 0.33 – 0.45 mm range (see Table 2-1).

2.3 Test Conditions

See Table 2-1 for a detailed list of the test conditions. All bench sheets used to record raw data

are available in Appendix B.

2.4 Quality Assurance/Quality Control

2.4.1 Reference Toxicant Results

A 96 hour reference toxicant test, or positive control test, was conducted alongside the

sediment test. The water-only test, using copper sulphate (CuSO4), was initiated to aid in the

assessment of organism sensitivity and the precision of the results. The resulting LC50 was then

compared in a control chart against the results of previous tests. Table 2-2 summarises the

result of the reference toxicant test.

The calculated LC50 for the reference toxicant test was within two standard deviations (95%)

range of the historic mean LC50. This supports the assumption that the sensitivity of the

organism batch was comparable to batches previously test in this laboratory.

A reference toxicant test is only one of the tools used to assess the health of an organism.

Natural variability accounts for the spread in reference toxicant LC50s. The method used in

preparing the control charts was based on from “Ecotoxicology Control Charting” (COR2WI-

00002).

2.5.1 Data Analysis

The survival and dry weight data for both the samples and the negative control were entered

into the statistical program “Comprehensive Environmental Toxicity Information System”

(CETIS™, 2009-2016). When determining the appropriate comparison tests to use, the

Environment Canada “Guidance Document on Statistical Methods for Environmental Toxicity

Tests” (EPS 1/RM/46, 2005) was followed.

See the CETIS™ Analytical Reports for information on the specific tests used for the mean

survival and dry weight comparisons. Analyses between the negative control and reference

sediment was conducted as two‐tailed comparisons. Analyses of the negative control or

reference sediment versus samples were conducted as one‐tailed comparisons. All analyses

were done with the decision level for determining statistical significance set to 0.05 (p value

<0.05).

3 14 DAY HYALELLA AZTECA SURVIVAL AND GROWTH TEST

3.1 Test Methods

The survival and growth of the freshwater amphipod, Hyalella azteca, when exposed to whole

sediment samples for 14 days, were assessed according to the Bureau Veritas Laboratories SOP:

Hyalella azteca 14-Day Survival and Growth Test (BBY2SOP-00011), which is based on the

Environment Canada Biological Test Method: Test for Survival and Growth in Sediment and

Water Using the Freshwater Amphipod Hyalella azteca (EPS 1/RM/33).

One day prior to test initiation, the field replicates were individually homogenised, and a 100 mL

aliquot was distributed into a 375 mL labelled test vessel. Reconstituted moderately hard water

was then slowly added to the vessel by pouring a stream of water onto a Plexiglas baffle to

minimize disturbing the sediment layer. The test vessels were then randomized on the bench

top, and airlines and lids were fitted to each test vessel.

A composite sample was produced by combining equal portions of each field replicate. Then,

100 mL of the composite sample was distributed into a sixth replicate test vessel used for water

quality measurements.

The following day, aliquots of overlying water were removed from the test vessels for initial

overlying water chemistry. The sixth replicate test vessel was used for water quality

measurements for the duration of the test. To initiate the test, the amphipods were removed

from their holding containers and ten Hyalella were randomly selected and placed into plastic

medicine cups containing control water. Once enough organisms were collected to start the

test, they were seeded into the test vessels.

During the test, daily observations and aeration checks were performed. Temperature and

dissolved oxygen measurements were taken three times per week in the test vessel designated

for water quality measurements. Additionally, pH and ammonia concentrations were monitored

in the overlying water in the reference sediment three times weekly. Test vessels were also fed

340 µL per replicate of a ground Tetramin™ flake slurry (4 g dry solids/L) and 0.75 mL YCT (yeast,

alfalfa flakes, and digested trout chow) daily.

At test termination, the contents of each test vessel were examined, a small portion at a time, in

a glass pan on a light table. The live amphipods were collected and counted. The amphipods

were then placed into aluminum foil weigh boats that were subsequently placed into a ~60°C

drying oven for >24 hours. Missing amphipods were presumed to have died and decomposed

during the test.

3.2 Organism Information

3.2.1 Acclimation and Holding Information

One batch of Hyalella azteca was received from Aquatic Biosystems, Fort Collins, Colorado, USA,

on June 14, 2019. Laboratory reared juvenile amphipods were packed into 1L plastic containers,

filled with moderately hard water and a few plastic mesh squares. Prior to shipping, the

headspace in each container was filled with oxygen gas of a sufficient concentration to maintain

adequate saturation levels in the shipping water. They were shipped directly for overnight

delivery to Bureau Veritas Laboratories and arrived without incident.

Upon arrival at Bureau Veritas Laboratories, the container contents were carefully poured into

glass culture dishes. Gentle aeration was supplied to each culture pan. An aliquot of shipping

water from each container was set aside for water quality. It was then ensured that

temperature adjustments to the holding water of the amphipods did not exceed 3°C per day.

The organisms were held at Bureau Veritas Laboratories for two days before the test was

initiated. The amphipods were fed YCT and Tetramin™ slurry at organism arrival and daily before

test initiation. Datasheets containing the water quality measurements, with observations of

number dead or inactive amphipods during the holding period, are available in Appendix C.

3.2.2 Organism Health

The average mortality rate in the culture did not exceed 10%.

3.2.3 Organism Age

At test initiation, the amphipods were 7-9 days old.

3.4.1 Reference Toxicant Results

A 96 hour reference toxicant test, or positive control test, was conducted alongside the

sediment test. The water-only test, using copper sulphate (CuSO4) was initiated to aid in the

assessment of organism sensitivity and the precision of the results. The reference toxicant test

LC50 result was then compared in a control chart against the results of previous tests. Table 3-2

summarises the result of the reference toxicant test.

The calculated LC50 for the reference toxicant test was just outside two standard deviations

(95%) range, but within three standard deviations of the historic mean LC50. This indicates the

organisms were slightly more sensitive to the toxicant, copper, than historically observed. The

reference toxicant test data was reviewed, and was determined that the test performed

normally, with no unusual observations. As a result, this point has been included into the control

chart.

A reference toxicant test is only one of the tools used to assess the health of an organism.

Natural variability accounts for the spread in reference toxicant LC50s. The method used in

preparing the control charts was based on from “Ecotoxicology Control Charting” (COR2WI-

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Please Note: Bureau Veritas S.A. has been the parent company of Maxxam (Maxxam Analytics

International Corporation) since 2014. To align with our global family, Maxxam Analytics is

formally changing the business operating name to Bureau Veritas Canada (2019) Inc. and we

have moved to Bureau Veritas branding effective June 3, 2019.

Freshwater sediment samples were collected between May 07, 2019 and May 16, 2019 for

testing. Thesamples arrived at Bureau Veritas Laboratories, in good condition, on May 16, 2019

and May 24, 2019.

The following freshwater sediment toxicity tests were conducted on the samples; a 10 day

survival and growth test with the freshwater midge, Chironomus dilutus, and a 14 day survival

and growth test with the freshwater amphipod, Hyalella azteca.

Sample AJR-05 was tested out of hold time for the Chironomus test. The client was notified of

this deviation which was due to the lab having difficulties obtaining organism of the correct age.

For all remaining samples, both sediment tests were initiated within their respective hold times

with the Chironomus test ending on July 01, 2019 and the Hyalella test ending on July 02, 2019.

The sample results were statistically assessed against the reference sediment and negative

control for the Chironomus test and the reference control for the Hyalella test.

Details regarding the test results, methods, test conditions, organism acclimation, and quality

control measures are summarised within the report. All tabulated data, raw data, and

associated supporting documents are located within the report appendices.

Each test was considered valid as survival and growth in the negative control(s) met the validity

criteria outlined in the associated reference methods.

SECTION

1 SEDIMENT DESCRIPTION

1.1 Sample Information

Freshwater sediment samples were collected between May 07, 2019 and May 16, 2019 for

testing. The samples arrived at Bureau Veritas Laboratories, in good condition, on May 16, 2019

and May 24, 2019.

Samples were collected separately for grain size, total organic carbon content, and moisture

content. The data for these analyses were sent directly to the client and are not included in this

report.

All tests were initiated within their respective hold times. Sample information, including sample

descriptions, porewater ammonia analyses, and water quality data are located in Appendix A.

Upon opening the sample containers, a description of each sample was recorded (“Sediment

Sample Descriptions” in Appendix A).

Prior to testing, each field replicate was homogenized, using a stainless steel spoon. Any

headspace in the sample container was purged with nitrogen gas prior to re-sealing it in order to

prevent oxidation of the sediment during storage. When not in use, the sediments were stored

in the dark at 4 ± 2°C.

1.2 Negative Control Sediment

The control sediment (negative control) for the toxicity tests was collected from Yaquina Bay,

Newport, Oregon, by staff of Northwestern Aquatic Sciences. This beach sand has been used as

a negative control in previous studies within our laboratory, and has been found to be non-toxic

to a variety of organisms. It was wet sieved through 500 µm stainless steel mesh and thoroughly

washed with the appropriate control water before use in the tests.

1.3 Porewater Characterization

On Day -1 of Chironomus testing, a seventh replicate of each sample was prepared, filled with

reconstituted control water and aerated overnight, along with the test vessels. The following

morning, the overlying water in the seventh replicate of each sample was decanted and aliquots

of the sediment were distributed into 500 mL polycarbonate bottles. Nitrogen gas was placed

over the sediments prior to centrifuging for 20 minutes at ~5,000 rpm. The resulting porewater

was carefully decanted and analysed for ammonia, pH, and temperature.

Analysis of ammonia in porewater was performed at the Bureau Veritas Laboratories Inorganic

Water Laboratory. The total ammonia concentrations as N (mg/L) in the samples, was measured

under basic conditions using the Berthelot reaction in the presence of EDTA. A sample was

treated sequentially until a blue indophenol complex formed, which could then be measured

photometrically at 660 nm.

Results of the ammonia, temperature, and pH in porewater analyses for each of the test

samples are available in Appendix A.

SECTION

2 10 DAY CHIRONOMUS DILUTUS SURVIVAL AND GROWTH TEST

2.1 Test Methods

The survival and growth of Chironomus dilutus larvae, when exposed to whole sediment samples

for 10 days, was assessed according to the Bureau Veritas Laboratories Standard Operating

Procedure: Chironomus dilutus 10-Day Survival and Growth Test (BBY2SOP-00010), which is

based on the Environment Canada Biological Test Method: Test for Survival and Growth in

Sediment Using the Larvae of Freshwater Midges (Chironomus tentans or Chironomus riparius)

(EPS 1/RM/32).

One day prior to test initiation, the field replicates were individually homogenized, and a 100 mL

aliquot was distributed into a 375 mL labelled test vessel. Reconstituted moderately hard water

was then slowly added to the vessel by pouring a stream of water onto a Plexiglas baffle to

minimize disturbing the sediment layer. The test vessels were then randomized on the bench

top, and airlines and lids were fitted to each test vessel.

A composite sample was produced by combining equal portions of each field replicate. Then,

100 mL of the composite sample was distributed into the sixth and seventh replicate test vessels

for water quality and porewater measurements.

The following day, aliquots of overlying water were removed from the test vessels for initial

overlying water chemistry. The sixth replicate test vessel was used for water quality

measurements for the duration of the test and the seventh replicate was decanted and

centrifuged to extract porewater for ammonia, temperature, and pH measurements (see

Section 1.3). To initiate the test, ten larval chironomids were randomly selected from their

holding containers and directly seeded into the test vessels.

During the test, daily observations and aeration checks were performed. Temperature and

dissolved oxygen measurements were taken three times per week in the test vessels designated

for water quality measurements. Test vessels were also fed 3.75 mL TetraminTM flakes, prepared

as a 4 g dry solids/L slurry, on the days water quality measurements were taken.

At test termination, the contents of each test vessel were sieved through a 500 µm sieve in

order to retrieve the live larval midges. The number of larvae found was recorded along with

any other observations made. The organisms were then placed into pre-weighed aluminum

weigh boats that were subsequently placed into a ~60°C drying oven for >24 hours. Missing

chironomids were presumed to have died and decomposed during the test. Any larval midges

that had reached the pupal or adult stage of development were excluded from the dry weight

analysis, if applicable.

2.2 Organism Information

2.2.1 Organism Acclimation and Holding Information

One batch of laboratory-reared Chironomus dilutus larvae was received from Aquatic Biosystems

on June 21, 2019. The midge larvae were shipped in 1L plastic containers filled with unbleached

paper towels and overlying moderately hard water. Prior to shipping, the headspace in each

container was filled with oxygen gas of a sufficient concentration to maintain adequate

saturation levels in the shipping water. They were shipped directly for overnight delivery to

Bureau Veritas Laboratoies and arrived without incident.

Upon arrival at Bureau Veritas Laboratories, the water quality of the shipping water was

measured and compared to the test conditions. Gentle aeration was supplied to each shipping

container. Any moribund or deceased larvae were removed and recorded on the acclimation

sheet, if applicable (Appendix B).

The chironomid larvae were not fed during the holding period as they were used the same day.

Historically at Bureau Veritas Laboratories, it has been determined that little to no acclimation is

required as long as the shipping, testing, and supplier laboratory conditions are similar.

2.2.2 Organism Health

The mortality rate during shipping did not exceed 10% overall. Bench sheets with the

receiving water quality and observations of the number dead or inactive larvae are available

in Appendix B.

2.2.3 Organism Age

At test initiation, 20 representative larvae were euthanized and their head capsule widths were

measured to the nearest 0.01 mm, using an inverted microscope outfitted with an ocular

micrometer. The average head capsule width of the organism batch was determined to greater

than the 0.33 – 0.45 mm range (see Table 2-1).

2.3 Test Conditions

See Table 2-1 for a detailed list of the test conditions. All bench sheets used to record raw data

are available in Appendix B.

2.4 Quality Assurance/Quality Control

2.4.1 Reference Toxicant Results

A 96 hour reference toxicant test, or positive control test, was conducted alongside the

sediment test. The water-only test, using copper sulphate (CuSO4), was initiated to aid in the

assessment of organism sensitivity and the precision of the results. The resulting LC50 was then

compared in a control chart against the results of previous tests. Table 2-2 summarises the

result of the reference toxicant test.

The calculated LC50 for the reference toxicant test was within two standard deviations (95%)

range of the historic mean LC50. This supports the assumption that the sensitivity of the

organism batch was comparable to batches previously test in this laboratory.

A reference toxicant test is only one of the tools used to assess the health of an organism.

Natural variability accounts for the spread in reference toxicant LC50s. The method used in

preparing the control charts was based on from “Ecotoxicology Control Charting” (COR2WI-

00002).

2.4.2 Test Validity Criteria

The test is considered to be acceptable if the mean percent survival in the negative control is

≥70%, and the mean dry weight is ≥ 0.6 mg. The mean percent survival of the negative controls

was 94%, and the mean dry weight was 1.67 mg.

2.5 Results

Total survival and dry weights in each replicate, and mean ± standard deviation (SD) in the

control and test sediments are listed in the “Chironomus dilutus Survival and Growth Test -

Survival of Larvae” and the “Chironomid Survival and Growth Test - Dry Weights of Larvae” data

sheets, respectively. A summary of the test results is presented in Table 2-3.

Total ammonia concentrations, pH, temperature, dissolved oxygen, hardness, conductance, and

alkalinity measurements of the overlying water at test initiation (Day 0) and completion (Day 10)

are available in Appendix B.

2.5.1 Data Analysis

The survival and dry weight data for both the samples and the negative control were entered

into the statistical program “Comprehensive Environmental Toxicity Information System”

(CETIS™, 2009-2016). When determining the appropriate comparison tests to use, the

Environment Canada “Guidance Document on Statistical Methods for Environmental Toxicity

Tests” (EPS 1/RM/46, 2005) was followed.

See the CETIS™ Analytical Reports for information on the specific tests used for the mean

survival and dry weight comparisons. Analyses between the negative control and reference

sediment was conducted as two‐tailed comparisons. Analyses of the negative control or

reference sediment versus samples were conducted as one‐tailed comparisons. All analyses

were done with the decision level for determining statistical significance set to 0.05 (p value

<0.05).

2.6 Deviations and Observations

At test end, pupated organisms were found in replicates A & B of sample AJR05 and replicate A of sample AJR15. The pupated organisms were removed from the statistical analysis for mean dry weight.

With client approval, sample AJR05 was tested outside of the 6 week hold time. All other samples were tested within hold time.

At test start, the head capsule width of the organisms were measured to be greater than the recommended range of 0.33 and 0.45 mm. With client approval, the test was allowed to

3 14 DAY HYALELLA AZTECA SURVIVAL AND GROWTH TEST

3.1 Test Methods

The survival and growth of the freshwater amphipod, Hyalella azteca, when exposed to whole

sediment samples for 14 days, were assessed according to the Bureau Veritas Laboratories SOP:

Hyalella azteca 14-Day Survival and Growth Test (BBY2SOP-00011), which is based on the

Environment Canada Biological Test Method: Test for Survival and Growth in Sediment and

Water Using the Freshwater Amphipod Hyalella azteca (EPS 1/RM/33).

One day prior to test initiation, the field replicates were individually homogenised, and a 100 mL

aliquot was distributed into a 375 mL labelled test vessel. Reconstituted moderately hard water

was then slowly added to the vessel by pouring a stream of water onto a Plexiglas baffle to

minimize disturbing the sediment layer. The test vessels were then randomized on the bench

top, and airlines and lids were fitted to each test vessel.

A composite sample was produced by combining equal portions of each field replicate. Then,

100 mL of the composite sample was distributed into a sixth replicate test vessel used for water

quality measurements.

The following day, aliquots of overlying water were removed from the test vessels for initial

overlying water chemistry. The sixth replicate test vessel was used for water quality

measurements for the duration of the test. To initiate the test, the amphipods were removed

from their holding containers and ten Hyalella were randomly selected and placed into plastic

medicine cups containing control water. Once enough organisms were collected to start the

test, they were seeded into the test vessels.

During the test, daily observations and aeration checks were performed. Temperature and

dissolved oxygen measurements were taken three times per week in the test vessel designated

for water quality measurements. Additionally, pH and ammonia concentrations were monitored

in the overlying water in the reference sediment three times weekly. Test vessels were also fed

340 µL per replicate of a ground Tetramin™ flake slurry (4 g dry solids/L) and 0.75 mL YCT (yeast,

alfalfa flakes, and digested trout chow) daily.

At test termination, the contents of each test vessel were examined, a small portion at a time, in

a glass pan on a light table. The live amphipods were collected and counted. The amphipods

were then placed into aluminum foil weigh boats that were subsequently placed into a ~60°C

drying oven for >24 hours. Missing amphipods were presumed to have died and decomposed

during the test.

3.2 Organism Information

3.2.1 Acclimation and Holding Information

One batch of Hyalella azteca was received from Aquatic Biosystems, Fort Collins, Colorado, USA,

on June 14, 2019. Laboratory reared juvenile amphipods were packed into 1L plastic containers,

filled with moderately hard water and a few plastic mesh squares. Prior to shipping, the

headspace in each container was filled with oxygen gas of a sufficient concentration to maintain

adequate saturation levels in the shipping water. They were shipped directly for overnight

delivery to Bureau Veritas Laboratories and arrived without incident.

Upon arrival at Bureau Veritas Laboratories, the container contents were carefully poured into

glass culture dishes. Gentle aeration was supplied to each culture pan. An aliquot of shipping

water from each container was set aside for water quality. It was then ensured that

temperature adjustments to the holding water of the amphipods did not exceed 3°C per day.

The organisms were held at Bureau Veritas Laboratories for two days before the test was

initiated. The amphipods were fed YCT and Tetramin™ slurry at organism arrival and daily before

test initiation. Datasheets containing the water quality measurements, with observations of

number dead or inactive amphipods during the holding period, are available in Appendix C.

3.2.2 Organism Health

The average mortality rate in the culture did not exceed 10%.

3.2.3 Organism Age

At test initiation, the amphipods were 7-9 days old.

3.3 Test Conditions

See Table 3-1 for a detailed list of the test conditions. All bench sheets and raw data are

available in Appendix C.

3.4 Quality Assurance/Quality Control

3.4.1 Reference Toxicant Results

A 96 hour reference toxicant test, or positive control test, was conducted alongside the

sediment test. The water-only test, using copper sulphate (CuSO4) was initiated to aid in the

assessment of organism sensitivity and the precision of the results. The reference toxicant test

LC50 result was then compared in a control chart against the results of previous tests. Table 3-2

summarises the result of the reference toxicant test.

The calculated LC50 for the reference toxicant test was just outside two standard deviations

(95%) range, but within three standard deviations of the historic mean LC50. This indicates the

organisms were slightly more sensitive to the toxicant, copper, than historically observed. The

reference toxicant test data was reviewed, and was determined that the test performed

normally, with no unusual observations. As a result, this point has been included into the control

chart.

A reference toxicant test is only one of the tools used to assess the health of an organism.

Natural variability accounts for the spread in reference toxicant LC50s. The method used in

preparing the control charts was based on from “Ecotoxicology Control Charting” (COR2WI-

00002).

3.4.2 Test Validity Criteria

Survival data in the negative control is considered to be acceptable if the mean percent survival

in the negative control is ≥80%, and the mean dry weight in the negative control is ≥0.1

mg/amphipod. The mean percent survival of the negative control was 94% and the mean dry

weight was 0.1 mg/amphipod.

3.5 Results

Total survival and dry weights in each replicate, and mean ± standard deviation (SD) in the

control and test sediments are listed in the “Hyalella azteca Survival and Growth Test-Survival”

and “Hyalella azteca Survival and Growth Test- Dry Weights” data sheets, respectively. A

summary of the results is located in Table 3-3.

Total ammonia concentrations, pH, temperature, dissolved oxygen, hardness, conductance, and

alkalinity measurements in the overlying water at test initiation (Day 0) and completion (Day 14)

are available in Appendix C.

3.5.1 Data Analysis

The survival and dry weight data for both the samples and the negative control were entered

into the statistical program “Comprehensive Environmental Toxicity Information System”

(CETIS™, 2009-2016). When determining the appropriate comparison tests to use, the

Environment Canada “Guidance Document on Statistical Methods for Environmental Toxicity

Tests” (EPS 1/RM/46, 2005) was followed.

See the CETIS™ Analytical Reports for information on the specific tests used for the mean

survival and dry weight comparisons. Analyses between the control and the reference sediment

was conducted as a two-tailed comparisons. Analysis between the reference sediment and

samples were conducted as one‐tailed comparisons. All analyses were done with the decision

level for determining statistical significance set to 0.05 (p value <0.05).

Duplicate: Paired analysis of a separate portion of the same sample. Used to evaluate the variance in the measurement.

Matrix Spike: A sample to which a known amount of the analyte of interest has been added. Used to evaluate sample matrix interference.

QC Standard: A sample of known concentration prepared by an external agency under stringent conditions. Used as an independent check of method accuracy.

Spiked Blank: A blank matrix sample to which a known amount of the analyte, usually from a second source, has been added. Used to evaluate method accuracy.

Method Blank: A blank matrix containing all reagents used in the analytical procedure. Used to identify laboratory contamination.

Surrogate: A pure or isotopically labeled compound whose behavior mirrors the analytes of interest. Used to evaluate extraction efficiency.

NC (Duplicate RPD): The duplicate RPD was not calculated. The concentration in the sample and/or duplicate was too low to permit a reliable RPD calculation (absolute difference <= 2x RDL).

Duplicate: Paired analysis of a separate portion of the same sample. Used to evaluate the variance in the measurement.

Matrix Spike: A sample to which a known amount of the analyte of interest has been added. Used to evaluate sample matrix interference.

QC Standard: A sample of known concentration prepared by an external agency under stringent conditions. Used as an independent check of method accuracy.

Spiked Blank: A blank matrix sample to which a known amount of the analyte, usually from a second source, has been added. Used to evaluate method accuracy.

Method Blank: A blank matrix containing all reagents used in the analytical procedure. Used to identify laboratory contamination.

Surrogate: A pure or isotopically labeled compound whose behavior mirrors the analytes of interest. Used to evaluate extraction efficiency.

NC (Duplicate RPD): The duplicate RPD was not calculated. The concentration in the sample and/or duplicate was too low to permit a reliable RPD calculation (absolute difference <= 2x RDL).

Duplicate: Paired analysis of a separate portion of the same sample. Used to evaluate the variance in the measurement.

Matrix Spike: A sample to which a known amount of the analyte of interest has been added. Used to evaluate sample matrix interference.

QC Standard: A sample of known concentration prepared by an external agency under stringent conditions. Used as an independent check of method accuracy.

Spiked Blank: A blank matrix sample to which a known amount of the analyte, usually from a second source, has been added. Used to evaluate method accuracy.

Method Blank: A blank matrix containing all reagents used in the analytical procedure. Used to identify laboratory contamination.

Surrogate: A pure or isotopically labeled compound whose behavior mirrors the analytes of interest. Used to evaluate extraction efficiency.

NC (Duplicate RPD): The duplicate RPD was not calculated. The concentration in the sample and/or duplicate was too low to permit a reliable RPD calculation (absolute difference <= 2x RDL).
