and notify the director in writing that there has been compliance with both subparagraph (i) and (ii).

 Section 17 (3) (a) BEFORE amended by BC Reg 179/2021, effective July 7, 2021.

(a) data relating to the monitoring of ground water and surface water;

 Section 20 (2) (b) BEFORE amended by BC Reg 179/2021, effective July 7, 2021.

(b) monitoring ground water,

 Section 20 (3) and (5) BEFORE amended by BC Reg 179/2021, effective July 7, 2021.

(3) The procedures for monitoring groundwater under subsection (2) (b) must

(a) provide for

(i) an assessment of the risk to ground water quality from the large landfill facility,

(ii) the detection of changes in ground water quality caused by the large landfill facility, and

(iii) sampling to measure seasonal variability,

(b) specify the number and location of monitoring locations for the monitoring network necessary to monitor ground water quality, based on

(i) the volume and characteristics of the waste to be discharged to the large landfill,

(ii) the location and capacity of the large landfill,

(iii) the use of ground water that can reasonably be expected to be made,

(iv) the hydrogeology of the area where the large landfill is located, and

(v) the direction, the horizontal and vertical gradient and the velocity of the ground water flow, and

(c) based on the substances that are identified in the waste characterization report in accordance with section 5 (3) (e), specify the water quality parameters to be measured and the sampling frequency.

(5) In developing procedures for monitoring ground water and surface water, if the large landfill is located on land above an aquifer, a qualified professional must consider aquifer classification as set out in an aquifer classification system approved by a director.

 Section 21 (1) (c) and (d) (part) BEFORE amended by BC Reg 179/2021, effective July 7, 2021.

(c) discharged waste does not cause pollution of ground water or surface water,

(d) the ground water at the monitoring locations identified in the operational plan for the facility does not contain any substance with a concentration greater than

 Section 21 (1) (d) (ii) BEFORE amended by BC Reg 179/2021, effective July 7, 2021.

(ii) the background concentration of that substance in the ground water at the landfill facility if the background concentration exceeds the generic numerical water standard, and

 Section 21 (2) BEFORE amended by BC Reg 179/2021, effective July 7, 2021.

(2) A director may specify other numerical water quality standards and objectives that the operator of a landfill facility must meet if a substance has a concentration greater than the local background concentration of that substance in the ground water or surface water at the landfill facility.
