ATTACHMENTS

PHASE TWO CONCEPTUAL SITE MODEL A Conceptual Site Model (CSM) was prepared during the Phase One Environmental Site Assessment (ESA). The Phase One ESA included the identification of the Phase One Study Area which included properties within a 250-metre radius of the Phase One Property. The Phase One Study Area including property boundaries, roadways, and buildings is shown on Figure 1. The Phase Two Property is currently vacant with no structures on-site. The Phase Two Property details are shown on Figure 2. The land use and occupants on the adjacent neighbouring properties to the Phase Two Property are also shown on Figure 2.

The Phase Two Property is generally flat with a slight slope downward to the south toward Walter Kurt Place. The Phase Two Property is at a similar grade with its neighbouring properties. The Phase Two Property currently has no on-site structures and the ground surface is landscaped Potential Contaminating Activities Based on information provided during the Phase One ESA, historically the Phase Two Property was agricultural land before it was a vacant grassed lot. No potentially contaminating activities (PCAs) were identified on the Phase One Property. There were four properties identified as having PCAs within the Phase One Study Area. The PCAs identified on the properties within the Phase One Study Area were #10 Commercial Autobody Shops, #28 Gasoline and Associated Products Storage in Fixed Tanks, #33 Metal Treating, Coating, Plating and Finishing, #34 Metal Fabrication, and #52 Storage, Maintenance, Fuelling and Repair of Equipment, Vehicles and Material Used to Maintain Transportation Systems. The PCAs identified in the Phase One Study Area are shown on Figure 3 and listed below in Table 1. Table 1 Summary of PCAs at the Phase One Property

Yes, based on the proximity to the Phase One Property.

Northern portion of 1198 Queen Street North

Adjacent to the northwest of the Phase One Property

#28 Gasoline and Associated Products Storage in Fixed Tanks

No, due to the location down gradient of the inferred groundwater flow direction and historical subsurface investigations.

1206 Queen Street North

Approximately 40 m north of the Phase One Property

#33 Metal Treating, Coating, Plating and Finishing #34 Metal Fabrication

No, due to the location down gradient of the inferred groundwater flow direction.

63 Benjamin Street

Approximately 185 metres southeast of the Phase One Property

#28 Gasoline and Associated Products Storage in Fixed Tanks

No, due to separation distance from the Phase One Property and location at a lower topographical elevation.

Areas of Potential Concern The Phase One ESA identified one area of potential concern (APEC) on the Phase Two Property. The APEC identified for the Phase Two Property results from the PCAs in the Phase One Study Area. APEC1 is related to from historical activities on the adjacent property to the

4 - When submitting a record of site condition for filing, a copy of this table must be attached Factors Influencing Contaminant Distribution It is possible that roadways and sanitary and storm sewer lines in the vicinity of the Phase Two Property may influence the migration of shallow contaminants. It is not anticipated that other buried utilities would influence contaminant distribution and migration; as the shallowest depth to groundwater at the Phase Two Property is approximately 10 metres below ground surface (bgs).

5-3538-02-01/RSC535380201001Att 7.docx


ATTACHMENTS

Overburden Geology The typically geology encountered during the Phase Two ESA generally consisted of a surface layer of topsoil, underlain by sand to a maximum depth of 1.1 metres bgs, underlain by clay to a maximum depth of 6.1 metres bgs, underlain by sandy silt to a maximum depth to 9.1 metres bgs and sand beneath that to the termination of the wells at a maximum depth of 13.4 metres bgs. Bedrock or a confining layer was not encountered during the Phase Two ESA.

Cross-section locations are shown on Figure 5. The stratigraphy encountered at the Phase Two Property is shown on cross-sections in Figures 6 and 7. The cross-sections also include the well construction details, groundwater elevations, and the measured water table depth. Hydrogeological Characteristics One overburden groundwater unit was identified during the Phase Two ESA activities. The overburden groundwater unit generally consists of layers of sand, clay, sandy silt and sand. Grain size analysis of the overburden material indicated that between 70% and 90% of soil passed through sieve #200 (<0.075mm) and between 9.3% and 30% did not pass through sieve #200 (>0.075mm). The horizontal hydraulic gradient was calculated to be 0.0054. Depth to Bedrock Bedrock was not encountered during the Phase Two ESA investigation nor previous investigations at the Phase Two Property. Based on a records reviewed during the Phase One ESA, shale bedrock was encountered at an approximate depth of 61 metres bgs, approximately 120 metres northeast of the Phase Two Property. Depth to Groundwater and Groundwater Flow Direction The groundwater table was found at depths ranging from 10.0 metres bgs to 11.2 metres bgs. The horizontal hydraulic gradient was calculated using the groundwater elevations from monitoring wells with the same screened depth ranges. Groundwater elevations were measured on October 1, 2014. Groundwater elevations and contours are shown on Figure 8. Applicability of Ontario Regulation 153/04, Section 41 or Section 43.1 Based on the information reviewed during the Phase One ESA and the results of the Phase Two ESA, the Phase Two Property is not considered environmentally sensitive, as defined in Ontario Regulation (O. Reg.) 153/04, Section 41. Based on the stratigraphy encountered during the Phase Two ESA, the Phase Two Property was not determined to be a shallow soil property or located within 30 metres of a water body, as defined in Section 43.1 of O. Reg. 153/04. Areas Where Soil Has Been Brought From Another Property Based on information reviewed during the Phase One ESA and results of the Phase Two ESA, fill was not identified at the Phase Two Property. No soil was brought to the Phase Two Property during the Phase Two ESA activities. Proposed Buildings and Structures Based on information provided during the Phase One ESA, the Phase Two Property is to be developed for residential property use. The locations of any future buildings and structures on the Phase Two Property are not currently known.

Soil Contaminants of Concern (COCs) and Distribution During the Phase Two ESA, soil samples were selected and submitted under Chain of Custody protocols to Maxxam Analytics (Maxxam) in Mississauga, for chemical analyses of petroleum hydrocarbons (PHCs) Fractions F1 to F4 (F1-F4), benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylenes (BTEX), pH, and/or metals. Based on the findings of the Phase Two ESA, no soil COCs were identified at the Phase Two Property. A summary analytical results in groundwater and soil are shown on Figure 9 and in cross-section on Figures 6 and 7. Groundwater COCs and Distribution During the Phase Two ESA, groundwater samples were selected and submitted under Chain of Custody protocols to Maxxam, for chemical analyses of PHCs (F1-F4), BTEX, and/or metals. Based on a review of the analytical results from the initial sampling event, ethylbenzene was observed to marginally exceed the applicable Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change (MOECC)1 Table 2 SCS at MW3. This sampling location is located adjacent to the Walter Kurt Place roadway with vehicular traffic. As no field evidence of impacts were identified during the Phase Two ESA field activities, this results was interpreted to be anomalous. Two additional groundwater sampling events were completed at this monitoring well location (MW3) on October 17, 2014 and October 31, 2014 to verify the initial result. The subsequent groundwater sampling analytical results indicated that all analyzed parameters (including ethylbenzene) were either below the laboratory RDL or MOECC Table 2 SCS. The analytical results of the subsequent groundwater sampling events are considered to be representative of conditions at the Phase Two Property. Therefore, no groundwater COCs were identified at the Phase Two Property. A summary analytical results in groundwater and soil are shown on Figure 9 and in cross-section on Figures 6 and 7. Exposure Pathways, Release Mechanisms, and Receptors The Human Health and Ecological Conceptual Site Models are shown on Figures 10 and 11, respectively. There are no current contaminant sources or release mechanisms present on the Phase Two Property. As no COCs were identified in groundwater at the Phase Two Property, release mechanisms, transport pathways, human and ecological receptors, receptor exposure points, and routes of exposure are all incomplete. Groundwater at the Phase Two Property is not used as a potable or industrial source of water.
