PHASE TWO CONCEPTUAL SITE MODEL

Introduction

The Phase Two Environmental Site Assessment (Phase II ESA) was conducted to support the

filing of a Record of Site Condition (RSC). No current operations representing Potentially

Contaminating Activities (PCAs) were identified at the phase two property (Site) at the time of

the investigation.

Based on the information gathered from the real estate agency at the time of the investigation,

the property was constructed as a planing mill and ash factory that was converted into a woolen

mill at the end of the 19th century. A second building at the rear of the property was constructed

in 1910 and functioned as a warehouse. A picker room was added in 1933 adjacent to the main

building and a passageway joining the two (2) buildings was constructed.

The Fire Insurance Plan (FIP) dated February 1894 (revised November 1911) indicated that the

property was utilized as a planing mill with no additional secondary building constructed. The

February 1924 FIP indicated that the property was utilized as a woolen knitting mill and a

storage warehouse, a small shed was adjacent to the storage warehouse, and a picker room

was constructed at the property. The August 1931 FIP (revised November 1940) indicated that

the property maintained its operations as a knitting mill and that the small shed adjacent to the

storage warehouse was utilized for oil storage. The March 1971 FIP did not indicate a change of

on-site activities.

Based on the FIPs, Etobicoke Creek historically ran adjacent of the Site to the west. The March

1971 FIP indicated that the creek was redirected and that municipal streets were constructed.

The rail tracks adjacent of the Site to the northwest was observed since the February 1894

(revised November 1911) FIP. No supporting records or documents indicated that the Site was

historically utilized as an ash factory.

The building was renovated and utilized for commercial purposes since the early 1980’s. The

building is currently utilized for commercial purposes and is occupied by multiple tenants.

Previous environmental investigations have been conducted, including soil remedial works by

means of excavation at the northeastern portion of the property associated with the surficial fill

materials.

It is our understanding that the Site is maintaining its commercial property use and that no

additional structures or buildings are proposed. This phase two Conceptual Site Model (CSM)

has been prepared based on information and data collected and reviewed to date as part of

Fisher Environmental Ltd.’s (‘Fisher’) Phase One Environmental Site Assessment (Phase I

ESA), Phase I ESA Update, Phase Two Environmental Site Assessment (Phase II ESA), and

Phase II ESA Update conducted at the Site. The phase two CSM provides a narrative,

graphical, and tabulated description integrating information related to the phase two property’s

geologic and hydrogeologic conditions, Areas of Potential Environmental Concern

(APECs)/Potentially Contaminating Activities (PCAs), the presence and distribution of

Contaminants of Potential Concern (CPCs), contaminant fate and transport, and potential

exposure pathways. These components are described in the following sections.

Site Description

The Site is municipally addressed as 60 Queen Street East, Brampton, Ontario and is located

on the north side of Queen Street East, approximately 200 m northeast of the nearest major

intersection of Queen Street East and Main Street North/South. NAD 83 Datum for the centroid

of the Site is 17-600064-4837937.

The legal description for the Site is Part of Lots 9, 10, 11, e/s Hurontario Street and n/s Queen

Street, Plan BR-2 as in RO784413 City of Brampton, Regional Municipality of Peel,

PIN 14124-0049(LT).

The Site is bounded by a mixed commercial/residential building to the southwest, a railway to

the northwest, undeveloped land to the northeast, and Queen Street East to the southeast. The

Site has a total area of 0.23 ha.

The Site is situated at a lower elevation than the railway to the northwest, undeveloped land to

the northeast, and Queen Street East to the southeast. Surface runoff from the Site drains into

catch basins located on Sellors Land and Union Street. Surface water at the Site infiltrates and

percolates towards the water table at the northeast portion as it is unpaved.

Physical Settings

a. Local topography in the study area indicates, generally, that the Site is situated at a higher

elevation than the local surroundings in the study area at 220 m above sea level (asl).

Grade elevation declines in all directions from the phase two property to 215 m asl to the

boundaries of the study area.

b. Visual representations of the subsurface conditions encountered at the borehole locations

are presented in the attached cross-sections on Figures E, F, G, H, and I. A description of

the subsurface materials encountered are summarized below:

Surface

Asphalt or unconsolidated mixture of sand and gravel.

Fill Materials

Fill materials were found from the surface extending up to 2.10 m below ground surface

(bgs). The fill in all boreholes generally consisted of brown sandy silt with trace organic

material, crushed brick, and trace coal.

Unit I (the aquifer)

Unit I of overburden consisted of brown/grey clayey silt extending up to a depth of 6.70 m

bgs.

Page 3 of 12

c. Approximate depth to bedrock in the study area is 45 m bgs. Bedrock in the area is

comprised of the Upper Ordovician Meaford-Dundas Formation of the Paleozoic Era. The

formation consists of limestone, dolomite, shale, argillite, sandstone, quartzite, and grit.

Investigated Aquifer

Based on the visual examination of the soil samples and groundwater level measurements, the

groundwater appears to exist in the wet layer embedded in the brown clayey silt, having a

thickness of at least approximately 4.60 m. Perched water may also be present in the top fill

soils. The local groundwater level appears to vary from 219.21 m to 219.92 m asl (0.93 m bgs to

1.52 m bgs) based on elevation measurements and calculations, which is approximately the top

elevation of the first encountered aquifer indicating an unconfined condition. The clayey silt

matrix of the aquifer indicates a hydraulic conductivity range of 10-4 to 10-9 cm/sec.

Based on the field measurements, the groundwater flow direction at the Site is calculated to be

in a southwest direction. The groundwater elevation contours and interpreted groundwater flow

direction is illustrated in Figure D.

The localized shallow groundwater flow direction may be influenced by the presence of on-site

and/or off-site underground utilities, building foundations, variations in vertical and horizontal

stratigraphy, seasonal water level variations, depth of wells’ screened intervals and/or well

trauma. During rain events and the months of March to May, the groundwater levels are

expected to rise and fluctuate on-site since the northeastern portion of the property is unpaved,

which may increase the potential to facilitate the migration of contaminants, if any.

Investigation of this first encountered aquifer was deemed necessary due to the potential for

direct discharge/migration of petroleum products and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs)

from the off-site use of the rail tracks and the on-site historical oil storage shed. Additionally, the

on-site historical importation of fill materials may influence the environmental condition at the

Site with the potential migration of Metals, Petroleum Hydrocarbons (PHCs) in four fractions

(F1-F4), and PAHs.

Groundwater Hydraulic Gradients

Horizontal hydraulic gradient is the slope of the water table or potentiometric surface. Linear

hydraulic gradient was calculated based on the groundwater elevation data of the monitoring

wells. Vertical hydraulic gradient is the difference in water head over the difference in wells’

bottom elevation. Horizontal and vertical groundwater gradients and groundwater flow direction

were measured on a scaled site plan with monitoring well locations.

Site Condition

Although other properties located within 250 m of the boundaries of the Site are supplied by a

municipal drinking water system, potable groundwater Site Condition Standards (SCS) were

applied to the Site. The SCS was identified to be Table 2: Full Depth Generic SCS in a Potable

Groundwater Condition, coarse textured soil condition for Industrial/Commercial/Community

(I/C/C) Property Use for soil samples and All Types of Property Use for groundwater samples as

contained in the Ministry of the Environment’s (MOE) “Soil, Ground Water and Sediment

Standards for Use Under Part XV.1 of the Environmental Protection Act”, April 15, 2011.

In accordance with Section 41 of the regulation (Ontario Regulation 153/04), the Site is not an

environmentally sensitive area. The Site is not located within an area of natural significance and

it does not include lands within thirty (30) metres of an area of natural significance. Soil pH

samples collected at the Site were within the acceptable range for the application of the

applicable MOE Table 2 SCS. The Site is not a shallow soil property as defined in Section 43.1

of the regulation (Ontario Regulation 153/04) nor does it include all or part of a water body or is

adjacent to a water body or includes land that is within thirty (30) metres of a water body.

Assessment of PCA, APEC and Subsurface Structures

Four (4) historical PCAs were identified on-site and one (1) PCA was identified off-site that may

contribute to an APEC at the Site. On-site PCAs include: PCA 17: dye manufacturing,

processing and bulk storage; PCA 28: gasoline and associated products storage in fixed tanks;

PCA 30: importation of fill material of unknown quality; and PCA 54: textile manufacturing and

processing. Off-site PCA include: PCA 46: rail yards, tracks and spurs.

Based on the locations of the PCAs, four (4) APECs were identified:

APEC A – Northwestern portion of the Site, adjacent and parallel to the off-site rail tracks.

APEC A is associated with the historical and current off-site operation of rail tracks, which is the

adjacent property to the northwest. Based on the proximity to the Site and the natural

hydrogeological conditions and subsurface stratigraphy, the operation of the rail track may

contribute to an APEC on-site thus the soil and groundwater may have been impacted. PCA 46

is associated with the operation of the rail tracks.

APEC B – Northwestern portion of the Site, between the secondary addition and the rail tracks.

APEC B is associated with the historical existence of an oil storage shed that was located

adjacent to the secondary addition, from approximately 1931 to 1971. Based on the inferred

substances stored and the natural current and historical hydrogeological conditions and

subsurface stratigraphy, the storage of oil may contribute to an APEC on-site thus the soil and

groundwater may have been impacted. PCA 28 is associated with the storage of oil.

APEC C – Northeastern portion of the Site, encompassed by the on-site building, rail tracks,

and undeveloped lands. APEC C is associated with the importation of fill materials during the

historical soil excavation remedial works. Based on the unknown quality of the fill materials, the

soil and groundwater may have been impacted. PCA 30 is associated with the fill materials.

APEC D – Northeastern portion of the Site, adjacent to the main building. APEC D is associated

with the historical operation as a knitting mill at the northeast portion of the building. Based on

the inferred activities on-site, the production of textile goods may contribute to an APEC on-site

thus the soil and groundwater may have been impacted. PCA 17 and PCA 54 are associated

with the textile operations.

Page 6 of 12

Additionally, off-site PCAs within the phase one study area include: PCA 10: commercial

autobody shops historically at 14 Nelson Street East, and currently at 10 and 27 Nelson Street

East for servicing automobiles, which are currently operated by Olde Town Auto Repair &

Service and Save & Rent a Car respectively and at 21 Union Street for servicing automobiles

operated by McCracken Auto Service; and PCA 37: operation of dry cleaning equipment (where

chemicals are used) currently at 6 Nelson Street East for dry cleaning operations operated by

The Cleaning Centre.

Historical and/or current PCAs identified at 6, 10, 14, and 27 Nelson Street East and 21 Union

Street are not anticipated to contribute to an APEC on-site based on proximity to the Site, local

topography, and local groundwater flow direction.

A buried off-site natural gas line runs from Queen Street East to parallel to the southwest

building wall in a northwesterly direction before connecting to the building. Based on the location

of the buried natural gas line, it is unlikely that this buried utility would affect contaminant

distribution and transport. A buried telecommunication is located at the northwest corner of the

property that runs from off-site in a zigzag fashion and connecting to the northwest corner of the

building. Based on the location of the buried telecommunication line, it is likely that this buried

utility may affect contaminant distribution and transport.

Refer to the table below and to the attached Figures A, B, and C for presentation of PCAs and

APECs locations.

The scope of work for the current Phase II ESA was prepared in order to assess the

environmental quality of soil and groundwater at the identified APECs. The Phase II ESA

investigation includes six (6) boreholes advanced on February 13, 2014. Three (3) of the

boreholes were completed as groundwater monitoring wells and were sampled on February 14,

2014. Refer to the attached Figures B and C for borehole and monitoring wells locations. The

boreholes were advanced within the identified APECs.

Soil and Groundwater Quality

Twelve (12) soil samples from the boreholes were submitted to the laboratory for Metals, BTEX,

PHCs (F1-F4), PAHs, and/or pH analysis. The laboratory analytical results indicate that all

submitted soil samples were in compliance with the applicable MOE Table 2 SCS for all tested

parameters with the exception of:

MW1 (0.75-1.35 m) – Acenaphthylene: 0.18 vs 0.15 ppm

Benzo[a]pyrene: 0.97 vs 0.30 ppm

Indeno[1,2,3-cd]pyrene: 0.91 vs 0.76 ppm

Dibenzo[a,h]anthracene: 0.14 vs 0.1 ppm

MW2 (0.75-1.35 m) – Benzo[a]pyrene: 0.44 vs 0.30 ppm

BH3 (0.00-0.60 m) – Arsenic: 41 vs 18 ppm

Lead: 154 vs 120 ppm

Selenium: 11 vs 5.5 ppm

Acenaphthylene: 0.37 vs 0.15 ppm

Anthracene: 1.1 vs 0.67 ppm

Fluoranthene: 10 vs 9.6 ppm

Benzo[a]anthracene: 7.4 vs 0.96 ppm

Chrysene: 11 vs 9.6 ppm

Benzo[b]fluoranthene: 14 vs 0.96 ppm

Benzo[k]fluoranthene: 11 vs 0.96 ppm

Page 8 of 12

Benzo[a]pyrene: 4.5 vs 0.30 ppm

Indeno[1,2,3-cd]pyrene: 9.7 vs 0.76 ppm

Dibenzo[a,h]anthracene: 1.1 vs 0.1 ppm

Three (3) groundwater samples were submitted to the laboratory for Metals, BTEX, PHCs

(F1-F4), and PAHs analysis. The laboratory analytical results indicate that all submitted

groundwater samples were in compliance with the applicable MOE Table 2 SCS for all tested

parameters.

Based on the soil types and materials encountered during boreholes drilling, the locations of

MW1, MW2, and BH3 were not in the vicinity of any transport pathways that may influence

contaminant distribution and transport. Based on the observations during the borehole drilling

and the types and depths of the contaminants identified that were in exceedance of the

applicable MOE Table 2 SCS, the likely source of the contaminants is the fill material, which is

associated with PCA 30 and corresponding APEC C. The distribution of the contaminants

identified appears to be localized and confined within APEC C.

Remediation

The excavation remedial works was conducted from April 1 – 4, 2014. The area of excavation

was approximately 335 m2 and 1.50 m deep for a volume of 502.50 m3. The excavated area is

irregular and rhombus-shaped with a total weight of 628.67 metric tonnes that was removed

from the Site. A total of five (5) floor and sixteen (16) wall soil samples were submitted to the

laboratory for Metals, BTEX, PHCs (F1-F4), and/or PAHs analysis. Two (2) clean sand fill

samples were collected on April 11 and 14, 2014 prior to backfilling activities and submitted to

the laboratory. Approximately 240 m3, 476.13 metric tonnes, of imported clean sand fill material

was brought to the Site. The area of excavation and the area at which soil was brought in from

another property and placed at the Site is located at the northeastern portion of the property.

All submitted confirmatory soil samples from the walls and floor of the excavation were below

the applicable MOE Table 2 SCS for all analyzed parameters for Metals, BTEX, PHCs (F1-F4),

and/or PAHs. All submitted clean sand fill material were below the applicable MOE Table 1 SCS

for all analyzed parameters of Metals, BTEX, PHCs (F1-F4), and PAHs. Refer to Figure J, K,

and L for a graphical representation of the excavated area and confirmatory soil sample

locations.

Identification, Source, Distribution and Migration of CPC

As indicated in Table 1, the analytical program of the Phase II ESA included the testing of soil

and groundwater for Metals, PHCs (F1-F4), BTEX, PAHs, and/or pH parameters. Chemical

analyses were conducted by Fisher Environmental Laboratories based in Markham, Ontario.

Fisher Environmental Laboratory is a member of the Canadian Association for Laboratory

Accreditation (CALA) and meets the requirements of Section 47 of Ontario Regulation 153/04

certifying that the analytical laboratory be accredited in accordance with the International

Standards ISO/IEC 17025 and with standards developed by the Standards Council of Canada.

Should CPCs be present in soil and/or groundwater at off-site PCA locations, it appears that the

relevant transport mechanisms have not contributed to exceeding concentrations of the CPCs in

the soil and groundwater at the Site, while it is unlikely for the CPCs to have been discharged

into the natural environment at the Site.

Soil Vapour Intrusion into Surface and Subsurface Structures

No volatile CPCs were encountered at the Site.

Surface and subsurface structures that may affect contaminant distribution and transport:

Building foundation at the Site. Underground utilities within the Site that may affect the transport and distribution of contaminants are detailed below.

Page 11 of 12

Type and locations of samples taken as part of this Phase II ESA:

The Phase II ESA involved the drilling of six (6) boreholes, three (3) of which were completed as groundwater monitoring wells. Soil samples were collected from each of the six (6) boreholes and were submitted to the laboratory for Metals, PHCs (F1-F4), BTEX, PAHs, and/or pH analysis.

Groundwater samples were collected from each of the three (3) installed groundwater monitoring wells and submitted to the laboratory for Metals, PHCs (F1-F4), BTEX, and PAHs analysis.

Twenty-one (21) confirmatory soil samples from the walls and floor of the excavation were collected and submitted to the laboratory for Metals, PHCs (F1-F4), BTEX, and/or PAHs analysis.

Type and locations of remaining impacts noted at the Site considering previous investigations:

None.

Geological and hydrogeological interpretations:

The surface geology at the Site encountered during borehole drilling was found to somewhat correspond to the general geology in the area characterized as Bevelled Till Plains.

The fill materials and the soil in the vadose zone generally consisted of sandy silt with trace organic material, crushed brick, and trace coal extending to depths of up to approximately 2.10 m bgs.

The first encountered overburden aquifer consisted of a deposit of clayey silt extending to depths of up to approximately 6.70 m bgs with a thickness of at least 4.60 m.

Depth to the water table ranged from 0.93 m bgs to 1.52 m bgs. The groundwater level in the overburden is subject to seasonal variations.

Based on the field measurements, the groundwater flow direction at the Site was calculated to be in southwest direction.

The clayey silt deposit has an estimated hydraulic conductivity of 10-4

to 10-9

cm/sec.

CPC and release mechanisms:

In this case, BTEX and PHCs (F1 – F4) are the components of gasoline, diesel and/or waste oil that may have been released into subsurface through spills and/or leaks of malfunctioning storage, transport and dispensing equipment or drains piping. PAHs are often found as components of Non-Aqueous Phase Liquids (NAPLs).

Additionally, many trace Metals occur in petroleum and are involved in the processing of petroleum into fuels. Some of these parameters include Ba, Cd, Cr, Cu, Mn, Na, Ni, Pb and Zn, and they may be present in the subsurface in association with potentially spilled and/or leaked petroleum products. Dissolved Metals may also be released into the subsurface as a result of leaks/spills of processing waste. Contaminants may be released into ambient air when surface and subsurface fill materials are disturbed, and into subsurface as a concentrated aqueous solution (leachate).

Based on the results of the remedial and analytical programs, no CPCs are carried forward in the soil and groundwater.

Page 12 of 12

Transport pathways: A buried off-site natural gas line runs from Queen Street East to parallel to the southeast building wall in a northwesterly direction before connecting to the building. A buried telecommunication is located at the northwest corner of the property that runs from off-site in a zigzag fashion and connecting to the northwest corner of the building.

The characteristics of the CPCs and of soil matrix will greatly influence the migration pathways, extent of travel, and persistence of the released contaminants. For example, a considerable mass of a contaminant that is only slightly soluble in water could travel large distances in the subsurface as a constituent of an organic liquid. Complementary, the inflow of leaked contaminants into the groundwater and its soil matrix results in changes of the fluid phases flow regime. Water phase in the pores of the soil matrix will partially be displaced by liquid phases with different density and miscibility. These displacement processes are influenced by various parameters that characterize the aquifer’s soil matrix, such as: wettability, permeability, relative permeability, capillary pressure and others.

When favorable conditions exist, petroleum hydrocarbons escaped into subsurface may travel through naturally permeable soils, or through preferential pathways described by highly permeable fill materials surrounding underground services, building foundations and other subsurface structures.

Wind and runoff water may also represent carriers for vapours and particulates of contaminants across the Site and neighbouring properties.

Human and/or ecological receptors, and exposure pathway:

Human receptors at the Site consist of visitors/customers and employees at the property.

Human receptors can be exposed to contaminated media directly through inhalation of vapours and/or dust, dermal contact, and/or inadvertent ingestion of soil. Considering that no CPCs were encountered at the Site post-remediation, it is unlikely that these human receptors are at risk with respect to exposure to the tested CPCs.

Ecological receptors at the Site are limited and consist of herbaceous vegetation and trees located in several areas, birds, and burrowing animals.

Ecological receptors can be exposed to surface contaminated media directly through ingestion of contaminated vegetation, water, and prey; incidental ingestion of soil; or through physical contact or inhalation. However, inhalation and physical contact are considered to play minor roles in the exposure to surface contamination. Other exposure mechanisms may include: adsorption / desorption, atmospheric deposition, bioconcentration, degradation, diffusion, dilution, dispersion, evaporation, foliar fixation, gas / particulate partitioning, etc. Given that the soil and groundwater are not impacted post-remediation, it is unlikely that these ecological receptors are at risk with respect to exposure to the tested CPCs.

Uncertainty or absence of information

It is inferred that subsurface conditions at the Site approach the regional geological and hydrogeological conditions. Therefore, in the absence of other readily identifiable contaminant transport pathways from properties within the phase one study area to the Site, the actual contribution of natural (or anthropogenic) pathways to contaminant transport and distribution under the Site is uncertain and could affect the conclusions. CPCs within imported fill materials may be highly heterogeneous.
