10 REASONS The reason(s) for this amendment to the Approval is (are) as follows: 1. The reason for Conditions 1.1 to 1.15 is to clarify the legal rights and responsibilities of the Company under this Certificate. 2. Conditions 1.16 and 1.17 are included, pursuant to subsection 197(1) of the EPA, to provide that any persons having an interest in the Site are aware that the land has been approved and used for the purposes of waste disposal, as provided in Items 1 and 2 of Schedule "A". 3. The reasons for Conditions 2.0 and 3.0 are to acknowledge that the landfill site is closed, and to ensure that appropriate closure processes, including final capping, are in order, and that the closed landfill site is inspected, monitored and maintained in an environmentally acceptable manner for the protection of the natural environment and public health and safety due to potential for explosion that may be caused by combustible methane gas. 4. The reason for Conditions 3.12 and 4.0 is to provide for a mechanism which provides early warning of potential impact, to allow sufficient time to prepare and implement remedial action. 5. The reason for Conditions 5.1, 5.5 and 5.7 is to permit the establishment of the Solar Facility as part of the permanent land-use of the Site and to ensure that the Site is monitored, maintained and used in a manner which the Director has been asked to consider. Any other consideration that is not approved by the Director may not be in the interest of public health and safety, and the natural environment. 6. The reason for Conditions 5.2 and 5.3 is to ensure that the establishment of the Solar Facility does not compromise or interfere with the inspection/maintenance, monitoring and post-closure care of the Site and its impacts on the natural environment. 7. The reasons for Conditions 5.4, 5.6 and 5.8 are to ensure that the health and safety of the public are protected, and that there is no discharge of contaminants to the environment. Condition 5.8 is included to ensure that in case of a spill of contaminant, appropriate persons are notified and that actions are taken to protect the environment. 8. The reasons for Condition 6.0 are to provide for the availability of sufficient funds to carry out any necessary mitigation, long-term care and monitoring of the Site. The Financial Assurance amount must be updated and provide sufficient funds which reflect rising costs of any necessary future works, due to inflation factors to pay for compliance with and performance of any action specified in the ECA. 9. The reasons for Condition 7.0 are to ensure that regular review of site maintenance and monitoring data are documented and any possible improvements to site monitoring programs are identified. Post-closure n Annual Report is an important tool used in reviewing post-closure monitoring and maintenance activities, its effect or relationship to any nuisance or environmental impacts, and for helping to ensure that the landfill site continues to perform as designed. Post-closure care will be required for as long as contaminants from the site pose a potential concern to the natural environment. Record keeping is necessary to determine compliance with this Certificate of Approval, the EPA and its regulations. This Notice shall constitute part of the approval issued under Approval No. A dated August 6, 1980.
