Executive Summary

Site Description and Current Operations

Jacques Whitford Limited conducted a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (Phase I ESA) of the vacantproperty located east of Strandherd Road and north of Kennevale Drive in Ottawa, Ontario, herein referred to asthe "Site". The Phase I ESA was conducted for Petro-Canada in support of development of the Site. Thepurpose of the Phase I ESA was to determine if evidence of potential or actual environmental contaminationexists in connection with the Site, which may be on the Site or neighbouring properties as a result of current orpast activities .

Records Review

Based on the historical information gathered during the Phase I ESA, the Site has always been either used foragricultural purposes or vacant land.

Site Visit/Interviews

No environmental concerns were identified during the Site visit. No interviews were conducted with personsassociated with the Site during the Phase I ESA, as no one with prior knowledge of the Site was identified.

Conclusions

The Phase I ESA has revealed no evidence of environmental contamination associated with the Site. No furtherenvironmental investigations are necessary at this time. The monitoring wells should be decommissioned in accordance with Ontario Regulation 903, as amended. The two berms of fill material should be assessed to determine disposal options, should the fill material beremoved from the Site during development.  A regulatory response from the Ontario Ministry of the Environment is pending for all of the environmentalinformation they may have for the Site. Pertinent information will be forwarded upon receipt which may changethe conclusions and recommendations. The statements made in this Executive Summary are subject to the same limitations included in the Closure(Section 7.0) and are to be read in conjunction with the remainder of this report.

2.0 Introduction

2.1 Objectives

Jacques Whitford Limited conducted a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (Phase I ESA) of the vacantproperty located northeast of the intersection of Strandherd Road and Kennevale Drive in Ottawa, Ontario,herein referred to as the "Site". The Phase I ESA was conducted for Petro-Canada in support of development ofthe Site. The purpose of the Phase I ESA was to assess if evidence of potential or actual environmentalcontamination exists in connection with the Site, as a result of current or past activities on the Site orneighbouring properties.

A site plan is included in Appendix A and selected photographs of the Site are included in Appendix B.

2.2 Scope of Work

The Phase I ESA carried out by Jacques Whitford on this property was conducted in general accordancetheCanadian Standards Association's (CSA) Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Standard Z768-01(updated April 2003) and consisted of the following:

· records review including, but not limited to, publicly available city directories, aerial photographs, fire insuranceplans, geological and topographic maps· provincial government regulatory search· review of available environmental databases and records· review of previous environmental reports and existing title searches, if made available· interviews with persons having knowledge of the Site· a site visit· evaluation of information and preparation of the report provided herein

A Phase I ESA does not include sampling or testing of air, soil, groundwater, surface water or building materials.For this Phase I ESA, no enhancements to the CSA standard were made.

This assessment did not include a review or audit of operational environmental compliance issues, or of anyenvironmental management systems, which may exist for the Site.

The assessment of the Site for the potential presence of hazardous building materials was not conducted as theSite is undeveloped.  When completed, this is done based on the age of the building(s) and components, and anon-intrusive visual review of the Site. No sampling of materials was conducted. A Phase I ESA does notconstitute a Hazardous Materials Survey or Designated Substances Survey.

The assessment of the Site for microbial contamination and moisture damage is usually completed during thewalk through of the building(s), however, as the Site is undeveloped, this assessment was also not conducted .When completed, the assessment is visual only. No sampling or intrusive investigation was conducted.

The professional qualifications of the project team are provided in Appendix C.  The Site visit was conducted by Gordon Moore and Sarah Montesnao, B.Sc.Eng., of Jacques Whitford, onSeptember 6, 2007. The Site and readily visible and publicly accessible portions of adjoining and neighbouringproperties were observed for the presence of potential sources of environmental contamination. JacquesWhitford was not accompanied by persons associated with the Site at the time of the Site visit.  No site contactinterviews were completed during the Site visit.

2.0 Introduction (continued)

2.3 Regulatory Framework

In Ontario, the roles and powers of the Ministry of Environment (MOE) when dealing with contaminated sites areoutlined primarily in the Environmental Protection Act (R.S.O. 1990). The MOE has a mandate to addressconditions where there is an adverse effect, or the likelihood of an adverse effect, associated with the presenceor discharge of a contaminant. Ontario Regulation 153/04 - Records of Site Conditions, effective October 1,2004, provides advice and information to property owners and consultants to use when assessing theenvironmental condition of a property, when determining whether or not restoration is required, and indetermining the kind of restoration needed to allow continued use or reuse of the site. The regulation includesgeneric numerical standards for soil and groundwater quality for specific land and groundwater uses. A Phase IESA is an initial step in the site assessment process, which may lead to the requirement for restoration work ifactual or potential sources of environmental contamination are identified. During a Phase I ESA samples are not collected, however, if there are previous soil or groundwater sampleresults available, the results are compared to applicable federal and provincial regulations and guidelines.  A Phase I ESA involves a review of any Site buildings for the potential presence of hazardous materials relatedto building components and materials. Specific federal or provincial regulations, guidelines or codes of practiceexist for these individual hazardous materials. Where required, this documentation is utilized to determineappropriate conclusions and formulate appropriate recommendations.

3.2 Previous Reports

Any previous environmental reports provided to Jacques Whitford are described below.  Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Report-Short Format, prepared for Mr. Robert Gillespie ofPetro-Canada by Jacques Whitford, project # ONO63028, report dated November 28, 2003.  Based on the information gathered during the investigation, the Phase I ESA revealed no potentialenvironmental issues or concerns associated with the subject property.  No further environmental work wasrecommended for the subject property. Phase II Environmental Site Assessment Report, prepared for Mr. Robert Gillespie of Petro-Canada by JacquesWhitford, project # ONO63028, report dated January 7, 2004. Concentrations of the measured parameters in the submitted soil and groundwater samples were eithernon-detect or less than the applicable soil and groundwater quality criteria. 

3.3 Regulatory Information

  Environmental databases and records were searched to determine if the Site, adjacent or neighbouringproperties are listed. A list of the databases and records searched can be found in Section 3.1 of this report.  All search results indicated that none of the reported activities on the adjacent properties would have adverselyimpacted the Site based on distance and/or the anticipated shallow groundwater flow direction to the south.  At the time this report was issued, we had not received the regulatory response from the Ontario Ministry ofEnvironment (MOE) through the Freedom of Information and Privacy Protection Office to our inquiry for the Site.Upon receipt of this information, Jacques Whitford will contact Petro-Canada and comment on any findings ofenvironmental significance. A copy of the request is included in Appendix D.

3.4 Physical Setting

3.4.1 Surficial Geology

Based on the Geological Survey of Canada website, "The Urban Geology of the National Capital Region", thenative surficial soils of the Site are composed of clay and silt. The permeability of  clays and silts are low. Asite-specific determination would be required to obtain a detailed soil profile and permeabilityinformation. Previous subsurface investigations conducted on the Site indicated the subsurface soil profile at theSite consists of organic material and silty clay over glacial till.

3.0 Records Review (continued)

3.4 Physical Setting (continued)

3.4.1 Surficial Geology (continued)

 

3.4.2 Surface Water Drainage

The surfaces of the Site currently consist of foliage. Stormwater is anticipated to drain by infiltration and/oroverland flow. A stormwater manhole/connection box is located in the approximate centre of the Site. Ditchesare located on the western and southern edges of the Site. A sediment fence was found installed but in poorcondition upgradient of the western ditch. A tile drain outlet is located near the centre of western boundary of theSite.

3.4.3 Topography and Regional Drainage

Based on Geological Survey of Canada Topographic Map 31G/5, regional surface drainage (anticipated shallowgroundwater flow direction) appears to be to the south towards a branch of the Jock River located approximately700 metres from the Site. 

It should be noted that the direction of the shallow groundwater flow in limited areas can also be influenced bythe presence of underground utility corridors and is not necessarily a reflection of regional or local groundwaterflow or a replica of the Site or area topography.

3.4.4 Bedrock Geology

Based on the Geological Survey of Canada website, "The Urban Geology of the National Capital Region",bedrock in the area of the Site is limestone with interbedded dolomite of the Middle Ordovician GullRiver Formation. According to the website, the depth to bedrock ranges across the Site from 5 to 10, and 10to15 metres below grade surface.  A search of the same website for surficial boreholes indicatesthat documented water wells located in the vicinity of the Site reached bedrock at depths ranging between 5.1and 16.7 metres below grade surface.  Bedrock was not encountered during the previous subsurfaceinvestigation of the Site.

5.0 Site Visit Findings (continued)

5.7 Special Attention Items

5.7.1 Radon Gas

Radon is a radioactive gas associated with uranium rich black shale and/or granite bedrock. Radon emits alphaparticles and produces several solid radioactive products called radon daughters. Harmful levels of radon andradon daughters can accumulate in confined air spaces, such as basements and crawl spaces. Based on the geology of the area and the lack of on-site structures or buildings, radon gas accumulation is notexpected to be an environmental concern at the Site.

5.7.2 Microbial Contamination (Mold) and Indoor Air Quality

No visual evidence of suspected indoor mold growth was observed on the Site, at the time of the Site visit, as nobuildings or structures exist.

5.7.3 Electromagnetic Frequencies (EMFs)

No high-voltage transmission lines or electrical substations, which could generate significant electromagneticfields, were identified on or adjacent to the Site.

5.7.4 Noise and Vibration

No major or persistent sources of noise and vibration were identified on the Site at the time of the site visit.

Due to the nature of assessment and the limited data available, Jacques Whitfordcannot warrant against undiscovered environmental liabilities. Conclusions and recommendations presented inthis report should not be construed as legal advice.  Since the purpose of a Phase I ESA is to identify evidence of potential or actual contamination, the identificationof site conditions which may pose a non-environmental risk to buildings or people on the Site is beyond thescope of this assessment. (Examples include but are not limited to underground mine workings, volcanic orearthquake activities, severe weather, and/or flood plains in the area.) Jacques Whitford accepts noresponsibility for damages, if any, suffered as a result of any non-environmental risk. Should additional information become available which differs significantly from our understanding of conditionspresented in this report, we request that this information be brought to our attention so that we may reassess theconclusions provided herein.  This report was prepared by Gordon Moore and reviewed by Jane Yaraskavitch.
