Table 1 Minimum sampling requirements for dredged material Project Quantity Permit Type # of Samples 0 - 4 000 m 3 0 - 10 000 m 3 10 001 - 30 000 m 3 10 001 - 30 000 m 3 30 001 - 60 000 m 3 ≥ 60 000 m 3 Should the site history reveal cause for environmental concern, an increased number of samples and/or analysis of additional metals and/or organics may be requested. Analysis Requirements Details of minimum analytical requirements may be obtained through Environment Canada’s Regional Ocean Disposal Offices. Table 2 Minimum analysis requirements for dredged material. Trace Metals Organics Other General Site-Specific Site-Specific Site-Specific Site-Specific Site-Specific Parameter Mercury Cadmium PAH For Polynuclear Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH), the analytical methodology and quality assurance protocol must conform to that outlined in the Interim Quality Assurance Guidelines for Determination of Polynuclear Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Marine Sediments for Ocean Disposal, a copy of which is available from EC. For dioxin/furan, the analytical methodology and quality assurance protocol must conform to that outlined in the Internal Quality Assurance Requirements for Analysis of Dioxins in Environmental Samples, a copy of which is available from EC. The analysis results are to be reported on a dry weight basis with detection limits less than or equal to those stated above. The precision of the test method should be indicated by reporting analyses on five replicate sub-samples on 10% of the trace metal samples, and two replicate sub-samples on 20% of the organics samples, with a minimum of one replicated sample. Sub-sampling should be done following homogenizing but prior to digestion of the sample and the replicates should not be run consecutively. The accuracy of the test method should be indicated by reporting the results of certified reference materials analysed at the same time as the test samples. 48 Appendix 5 3 (1) 6 (1) 5 (1) 4 (1) OR 9 (2) 5 (2) 5 (2) Total Organic CarbonParticle Size - Limit of Detection 0.2 µg/g 0.2 µg/g 0.1 µg/g Type of Sampling Surface sampling prior to loading.

Sampling to depth prior to loading. Sampling requirements will be determined on a project specific basis.
Minimum Requirements for Excavation Material Sampling Requirements The following are the minimum sampling requirements for disposal of excavated material. Additional guidance may be obtained from the Users Guide to the Application Form for Ocean Disposal (Report EPS 1/MA/1, 1995), which is available through Environment Canada’s Regional Ocean Disposal Offices. Projects involving ocean disposal of undisturbed, native till material may be completed under a valid general excavation permit (Pacific and Yukon Region). For other excavated materials, a site specific permit will be required. Table 3 Minimum sampling requirements for excavated material.

The analysis results are to be reported on a dry weight basis with detection limits less than or equal to those stated above. The precision of the test method should be indicated by reporting sub-samples on 20% of the organics samples, with a minimum of one replicated sample. Sub-sampling should be done following homogenizing but prior to digestion of the sample and the replicates should not be run consecutively. The accuracy of the test method should be indicated by reporting the results of certified reference materials analysed at the same time as the test samples. 49 Appendix 5
