1.0 INTRODUCTION AMEC Environment & Infrastructure, a division of AMEC Americas Limited (AMEC) has been retained by the City of Ottawa (the “City”) to carry out an ambient air monitoring program during the construction phases of the redevelopment Lansdowne Park, a commercial entertainment venue, and adjacent Sylvia Holden Park, both located at 945-1015 Bank Street in Ottawa, Ontario (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Site”). Both properties are currently owned and operated by the City. Lansdowne Park is occupied by various buildings used for administrative, sport, recreational and entertainment purposes. Sylvia Holden Park is a municipal park located adjacent the northwest corner of Lansdowne Park and is developed with benches, pathways and landscaping. A key plan showing the location of the Site is provided on Figure 1.

The Site and its facilities are being redeveloped in two phases for which construction is set to begin in June 2012. The first phase, which is to be completed by 2013, includes the refurbishment of the stadium and arena; the replacement of asphalt with a ‘front lawn’ along the Rideau Canal; the construction of an underground parkade; and the construction of unique retail shops and services and includes the remediation of impacted soils. The detailed design of the second phase is still conceptual but includes the development of residential, office and hotel space. The Soil Management Plan (AMEC 2012) was developed in support of the redevelopment and will be implemented during the earth work phases at the Site. The Soil Management Plan (AMEC 2012) outlines dust control objectives as redevelopment of the Site has the potential to affect local air quality during construction. The City has retained AMEC to install and operate an ambient air monitoring network at the Site for the Lansdowne Park redevelopment. This monitoring plan provides details about the ambient air network and will also provide logistical details in regards to installations and operations of equipment on-site. A site map is provided as Figure 1 in Appendix A presenting the monitoring locations. The proposed air monitoring plan is to assess for potential air quality effects associated with the excavation and remediation activities that will include continuous real-time monitoring for Particulate Matter less than 10 microns in diameter (PM10) and discrete sampling for the following;

Total Suspended Particulate (TSP); Particulate Matter less than 10 microns in diameter (PM10); Heavy Metals (arsenic, cadmium, chromium, cobalt, copper, iron, lead, manganese,

nickel, selenium, sulphur, vanadium and zinc) in TSP; and Polynuclear Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH)

Based on previous soil sampling conducted on-site, heavy metals (Antimony, Arsenic, Barium, Boron (available), Cadmium, Copper, Lead, Mercury, Methyl, Mercury, Molybdenum, Selenium, Tin and Zinc), and PAH’s (Acenaphthylene, Anthracene, Benzo(a)anthracene, Benzo(a)pyrene, Benzo(b)fluoranthene, Benzo(g,h,i)perylene, Benzo(k)fluoranthene, Biphenyl-1,1) have been


TZ10100105 Page 2

identified as the primary contaminant of concern (COC). The particulate emissions are considered to be a potential transport mechanism for the contaminants of concern addressed above, and therefore were included in the scope of this monitoring plan. The monitoring network will be comprised of a total of five (5) air monitoring stations; four (4) located along the perimeter of the property line and one (1) community receptor station. The community receptor is a stationary location that will be used to provide particulate concentrations that are relative to the closest sensitive receptor while the perimeter monitors will provide concentrations at the property line. The particulate emissions from site (monitoring for PM10 and TSP) will be compared to applicable regulatory criteria for the specific contaminant of concern where existing. The locations of the sampling equipment are identified on Figure 1 in Appendix A. The monitoring will be carried out in three (3) distinct phases: Phase 1: Baseline Study Phase 2: Monitoring & Sampling During Excavations Phase 3: Weekly monitoring This Air Quality Monitoring Plan has been prepared as per the requirements of Section 1.5 of the Operations Manual for Air Quality Monitoring in Ontario (MOE, 2008), and details the following information:

Purpose or objective of the monitoring program; Expected duration of the monitoring program; Identified and suspected air emission sources; Identified and suspected receptors; Identification of air quality parameters to be monitored and associated sampling

equipment; Selection of appropriate sites for the sampling equipment; Sampling period and frequency; Analytical methods and procedures; Laboratory services support to be used; QA/QC plan; and Data reporting procedures.

2.0 PURPOSE OF THE MONITORING PROGRAM The purpose of the program is to assess the impact of construction and excavation activities on the local air quality by measuring concentrations of a variety of air contaminants and comparing to the applicable regulatory standards. The data will also be used in conjunction to provide real-time feedback on particulate levels on-site so that appropriate action can be taken to reduce and mitigate the potential for exceedences the intricacies of mitigative efforts are documented in detail in the Contractors Dust Management Plan in regard to AAQC regulatory limits.


TZ10100105 Page 3

The Contractor managing the construction must prepare and implement a dust control plan that is aligned with soil management objectives. This Air Quality Monitoring Plan has been developed to ensure that the Contractor achieves their objectives. 3.0 EXPECTED DURATION OF MONITORING PROGRAM This monitoring plan pertains to all phases of the monitoring program. Commencement of Phase 2 will coincide with the start of construction activities at the Site expected to begin mid June 2012. Monitoring is expected to continue into late 2012, until the construction phase has been completed. The monitoring program has been designed in the following three phases: Phase 1: Baseline Study Phase 1 of the program, the baseline monitoring, will be completed prior to the start of remedial activities in May/June 2012 and will include data from three (3) continuous real-time monitoring stations for particulate matter less than 10 microns in diameter (PM10), two (2) High Volume (Hi-Vol) sampling stations for collection of TSP and PM10 samples and one (1) on-site meteorological station. Monitoring took place between the dates of May 25th through to and including June 10th 2012. Discrete sampling will be carried out every 6th day for TSP, PM10, and metals collected by Hi-Vol samplers and polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) using a PUF sampler. Sampling methodologies follow the general specifications of the MOE Air Monitoring Manual. A total of four (4) samples were taken during the baseline study for each contaminant of concern and were collected on low or non precipitate days where possible. The baseline study will be initiated in the weeks prior to the contractor mobilizing to site and the commencement of excavation work. The results will be collated and analyzed and a formal baseline report will be prepared.


TZ10100105 Page 4

Phase 2: Monitoring and Sampling During Excavations Phase 2 of the program, the monitoring and sampling during excavations, will commence once the construction contractor has mobilized to site and the excavations have commenced – the approximate start of remedial activities is June 11th, 2012 and will include data from five (5) continuous real-time monitoring stations for particulate matter less than 10 microns in diameter (PM10) samples and one (1) on-site meteorological station. Two (2) additional monitoring locations will therefore be added to the three (3) existing stations from the baseline. PM10 data will be collected daily and reviewed and summarized in reporting that will be submitted to the client (City of Ottawa) at an appropriate interval to be agreed by AMEC and the client. Discrete sampling will be carried out every 6th day for TSP, PM10, and metals collected by Hi-Vol samplers and polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) using a PUF sampler for a period of four (4) weeks following the start of construction. If after four weeks the concentrations of these contaminants are greater than 75% of the MOE AAQC sampling frequency may be increased. Conversely, if on four consecutive weekly samples it is shown that the concentrations of these contaminants are less than 25% of the MOE AAQC, sampling frequency may be reduced. Sampling methodologies follow the general specifications of the MOE Air Monitoring Manual. It is currently understood that this monitoring will continue until completion of the earth work associated with site remediation expected to be complete at the end of 2012. Phase 3: Weekly Monitoring The five (5) real-time (continuous) PM10 monitors, and one (1) meteorological station, will continue to operate throughout this phase giving the ability to provide real-time feedback to site personnel should the PM10 concentration at any station reach the established trigger level. The weekly particulate matter monitoring will be terminated once the remedial activity from Package A activity has been concluded. 4.0 AIR EMISSION SOURCES The sources of the contaminants of concern are predominantly particulate bound. The particulate matter, heavy metals in TSP and PAH’s are expected to include emissions from construction activities on the Lansdowne Park and Sylvia Holden Park Site. Other local and regional natural and anthropogenic sources would also be captured by the monitors, and would include sources such as local industrial facilities, power generation, and pollen from nearby vegetation, road dust, engine exhaust, and road maintenance activities in the community, space heating, and other miscellaneous sources.


TZ10100105 Page 5

5.0 SENSITIVE RECEPTORS The closest residential areas are to the North and West of the Site with residential streets running directly North of Lansdowne Park and Sylvia Holden Park. Residential areas also lie to the south and east of Lansdowne Park but are separated by two roads and the Rideau Canal. The monitoring program, complete with five (5) monitoring stations, was strategically designed to provide representative offsite sampling with winds blowing from the predominant wind directions. The stations have been sited such that under most wind conditions, at least one monitoring station can provide representative upwind data while the other stations will be more representative of conditions which may have been impacted by site operations. In addition, one (1) of the five monitoring stations was sited directly north-east to the site for the purpose of a being community receptor while the remaining four (4) stations will be representative of concentrations found at the property line. The monitor locations and residential areas are shown in Figure 1. 6.0 SELECTION OF TARGET CONTAMINANTS AND MONITORING EQUIPMENT The monitoring program will include the following contaminants of concern:

Total Suspended Particulate (TSP); Particulate Matter less than 10 microns in diameter (PM10); Heavy Metals (arsenic, cadmium, chromium, cobalt, copper, iron, lead, manganese,

nickel, selenium, sulphur, vanadium and zinc) in TSP; and Polynuclear Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH).

These contaminants of concern were selected based on the anticipated contaminants related to the excavation / remediation of the Site which contains heavy metals and PAHs impacted materials. Heavy metals and PAHs were identified as the primary contaminants of concern following the implementation of a comprehensive environmental site assessment which included a multitude of soil samples. Heavy metals and PAHs were found in several boreholes across the site and at varying levels below surface. Since the contaminants of concern are present in the soils, particulate matter is a concern as a means of transport of the transportation of the impacted material. Since there is potential for heavy metals to travel off-Site, TSP was included as an indicator of the contaminants and as an analytical medium. PAHs are monitored using a PUF cartridge which is a two part sampling media. Because of the volatility of these contaminants it is necessary to collect in two parts; front half and back half. The front half is to capture the particulate bound concentrations and the back half captures the volatized portion of the sample.


TZ10100105 Page 6

PM10 has been included at all locations, including the community station, as it is considered respirable (of a size small enough to be inhaled) and therefore monitoring is required to be protective of human health. 6.1 Total Suspended Particulate (TSP) TSP samples will be collected by one (1) Hi-Vol which will be co-located with the PM10 discrete Hi-Vol sampler as well. The results of these samples will be used to generate 24-hour total suspended particulate numbers and the filters will later be digested to determine heavy metal concentrations. As indicated in section 3.0, discrete sampling will be carried out every 6th day for TSP collected by a Hi-Vol sampler following the start of construction. If after four weeks the concentrations of this contaminant is greater than 75% of the MOE AAQC sampling frequency may be increased. Conversely, if on four consecutive weekly samples it is shown that the concentrations of these contaminants are less than 25% of the MOE AAQC, sampling frequency may be reduced and sampling location will be evaluated. Discrete sampling for TSP will be carried out at one (1) of the monitoring stations using a Hi-Vol sampler over a 24-hour sampling period, and following the Ministry of Environment’s Operations Manual for Air Quality Monitoring in Ontario (PIBS 6687e). The MOE has published 24-hour average Ambient Air Quality Criteria (April 2012) for TSP to which the results will be compared. 6.2 Particulate Matter less than 10 microns in diameter (PM10) There will be five (5) MetOne Instrument E-SAMPLERs with a PM10 sampling inlet installed. The E-SAMPLER’s allow for real-time monitoring of PM10 concentrations at all five (5) of the monitoring stations. PM10 samples will also be collected by one (1) Hi-Vol which will be co-located with an E- SAMPLER. The results of these samples will be used as a reference for the E- SAMPLER and a correction factor to be applied where necessary. Sampling will occur over a 24-hour sampling period, and sampling methods will follow the Ministry of Environment’s Operations Manual for Air Quality Monitoring in Ontario (PIBS 6687e). As indicated in section 3.0, discrete sampling will be carried out every 6th day for PM10 collected by Hi-Vol samplers following the start of construction. If after four weeks the concentrations of this contaminant is greater than 75% of the MOE AAQC sampling frequency may be increased. Conversely, if on four consecutive weekly samples it is shown that the concentrations of this contaminant is less than 25% of the MOE AAQC, sampling frequency may be reduced.


TZ10100105 Page 7

The MOE has published 24-hour average Ambient Air Quality Criteria (April 2012) for PM10 to which the results will be compared. 6.3 Heavy Metals in TSP Heavy metals which exceeded the generic MOE 2011 Table 3 SCS for R/P/I property uses have been detected in the soils at the Site. The specific types of metals observed included antimony, barium, boron, cadmium, copper, lead, mercury, selenium and zinc. As indicated in section 3.0, discrete sampling will be carried out every 6th day for TSP collected by Hi-Vol samplers following the start of construction. The TSP filter will be digested at the lab and analyzed for metal content. If after four weeks the concentrations of the target metals are greater than 75% of the MOE AAQC sampling frequency may be increased. Conversely, if on four consecutive weekly samples it is shown that the concentrations of these contaminants are less than 25% of the MOE AAQC, sampling frequency may be reduced and sampling location will be evaluated. Discrete sampling for TSP to determine heavy metal concentration will be carried out at one (1) of the monitoring stations using a Hi-Vol sampler over a 24-hour sampling period, and following the Ministry of Environment’s Operations Manual for Air Quality Monitoring in Ontario (PIBS 6687e). The MOE has published 24-hour average Ambient Air Quality Criteria for each of the target heavy metals present at the Site. The results for these parameters will be compared to the current MOE AAQCs (April 2012). 6.4 Polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) Polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) which exceeded the generic MOE 2011 Table 3 SCS for R/P/I property uses have been detected in the soils at the Site. The specific types of PAH compounds observed included Acenaphthylene, Anthracene, Benzo(a)anthracene, Benzo(a)pyrene, Benzo(b)fluoranthene, Benzo(g,h,i)perylene, Benzo(k)fluoranthene and Biphenyl-1,1. As indicated in section 3.0, discrete sampling will be carried out every 6th day for polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) using a PUF sampler for a period of four (4) weeks following the start of construction. If after four weeks the concentrations of these contaminants are greater than 75% of the MOE AAQC sampling frequency will be increased. Conversely, if on four consecutive weekly samples it is shown that the concentrations of these contaminants are less than 25% of the MOE AAQC, sampling frequency may be reduced. The MOE has published 24-hour average Ambient Air Quality Criteria for each of the PAHs present at the Site. The results for this parameter will be compared to the current MOE AAQCs (April 2012).

7.0 MONITORING STATION LOCATIONS 7.1 Air Quality Monitoring The monitoring program, complete with five (5) monitoring stations, was strategically designed to provide representative offsite sampling with winds blowing from the predominant wind directions. The stations have been sited such that under most wind conditions, at least one monitoring station can provide representative upwind data while other will be more representative of conditions which may have been impacted by site operations. In addition, one (1) of the five monitoring stations was sited directly north-east to the site for the purpose of a being community receptor while the remaining four (4) stations will be representative of concentrations found at the property line. The stations are summarized in Table 1 and as follows:

Three (3) of the monitoring stations were originally installed during Phase 1: Baseline Study these are identified as AIR1, AIR2 and AIR3.

Two (2) additional monitoring stations will be installed once the remediation efforts on-site begin, these will be identified as AIR4 and AIR5. The AIR4 station will be located to a community roof-top and will act as the community monitoring station.

One (1) station, identified as MET, will be located on-Site and will be equipped with a meteorological station to monitor weather conditions on-Site. This station will be co-located with AIR2 monitoring station.

The approximate location of the five (5) on-Site air monitoring stations is presented in Figure 1.

The requirement to meet station siting criteria, as defined in the MOE Operations Manual for Air Quality Monitoring in Ontario, in order to collect representative data without disturbance from possible nearby obstructions was considered in locating the monitoring stations. The four on-Site monitoring stations and one in-community monitoring station inlets have been extended in height and other preventative measures have been taken such that the monitor intakes are unobstructed by structures on site. 7.2 Meteorological Station An on-site meteorological station will be installed to collect the required meteorological data to complement the air quality monitoring. The station will consist of Met One instruments, and will measure and record wind speed, wind direction, ambient temperature, and relative humidity. The sensor heights will be set according to the MOE Operations Manual for Air Quality Monitoring in Ontario. In addition to this on-site station, data will be obtained as needed from the Environment Canada weather station located at the Ottawa/Macdonald-Cartier International Airport; this station lies approximately 10 kilometres south of the site. The Environment Canada Climate Normals for the Ottawa/Macdonald-Cartier International Airport (1971 – 2000) were obtained from the Environment Canada website. The climate normals indicate that the prevailing wind direction is a Westerly wind. South winds are prevalent in May through October as shown in Table 2. Note that wind direction here is defined as the direction from which the wind is blowing.

8.0 SAMPLING FREQUENCY The Phase 2 and Phase 3 sampling will follow the standard six-day NAPS sampling schedule. As the primary objective of the program is to provide representative data for site operations, sampling when site works are not occurring will provide background readings.


TZ10100105 Page 10

9.0 ANALYTICAL METHODS 9.1 Particulate Matter (TSP & PM10) The air samples will be collected on a quartz fibre filter and samples will be submitted to the lab for analysis for total suspended particulate and PM10 concentrations. 9.2 Heavy Metals in TSP The air sample will be collected in conjunction with the TSP concentrations. Once the filter is weighed for the total particulate determination, the same filter will then be digested for heavy metals concentrations in TSP. The specific types of metals that will be analyzed for include antimony, barium, boron, cadmium, copper, lead, mercury, selenium and zinc. 9.3 Polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) The air sample will be collected on a quartz filter and a resin cartridge containing PUF media.

The collected samples will be analyzed as a combined sample for Acenaphthylene, Anthracene, Benzo(a)anthracene, Benzo(a)pyrene, Benzo(b)fluoranthene, Benzo(g,h,i)perylene, Benzo(k)fluoranthene and Biphenyl-1,1. 10.0 LABORATORY SERVICES SUPPORT

All sample submissions will be analyzed by Maxxam Analytics Inc. an accredited laboratory located in Mississauga. Maxxam which is certified or accredited for the required specific tests and matrices as registered with the Standards Council of Canada in compliance with ISO/IEC 17025. 11.0 QA/QC PLAN

The proposed ambient air quality monitoring program will incorporate a QA/QC component to ensure that the basic elements outlined in the MOE’s Operations Manual for Air Quality Monitoring in Ontario are adhered to. These include: site selection, sampling system requirements, site and analyzer operation, Hi-Vol Sampler flow calibration checks (monthly), performance and system audits, data validation and reporting, documentation and personnel training. Blank Hi-Vol PUF cartridges and filters will be routinely submitted to the laboratory for analysis as field or travel blanks. The selected laboratory will follow its internal QA/QC protocols such as spiked sample recovery and duplicate analysis of some samples for the PAHs analysis.


TZ10100105 Page 11

Operation, service and maintenance of the E-samplers will be in accordance with the instrument manufacturer’s operation manual. For the Hi-Vol samplers, in addition the requirements cited in the MOE Operations Manual will be followed. 12.0 DATA REPORTING Data will be reported in a format agreed upon by the City of Ottawa, such that the objectives of the monitoring program are met. Data from Phase 1 (Baseline) will be provided to the City as a Baseline Monitoring Report and within three weeks of completion of the baseline study Data from Phase 2 and 3 will be reported as follows. For the discrete Hi-Vol samplers (TSP, PM10, PAHs and Heavy Metals in TSP), normal data reporting including interpretation with respect to local meteorological conditions and on-Site activities will be provided monthly, in a format to be agreed upon by City of Ottawa. It should be noted that the laboratory turnaround time may be upwards of 7 days; therefore each report will include all currently available data. During the initial four weeks of Phase 2 of the monitoring program, discrete samples (TSP, PM10, PAHs and Heavy Metals in TSP) will be submitted for rush analysis in an attempt to reduce turnaround time. In the event that any exceedence of the AAQC is recorded, this will be communicated to the client following receipt of the analytical results. For the continuous real-time PM10 data recorded by the E-samplers, in the event of exceedence of a response level the client will document any activities that are generating dust and initiate the on-site response procedure as outlined in the Dust Management Plan (AMEC doc #). The response will include the collection of real-time PM10 and corresponding meteorological data at time of exceedences, and notification to the client’s on-site supervisor for action. Data will be collected to compare 24 hour averages to the MOE AAQC, and any exceedances will be reported to the City within 24 hours. Weekly reports of PM10 daily averages will be prepared for delivery to client and submitted to the City, as well as the potential to go to postings for public review deemed necessary by the client. All distribution of the monitoring data will be managed by City of Ottawa, supported as necessary by AMEC. Example reports are provided in Appendix C for reference, including a weekly PM10 report and a Table of Contents for a Monthly report with discussion of the results.
