1.1 Site Description

The Site (Phase Two RSC Property) is located on the northeast corner of the intersection of

Rutherford Road and Dufferin Street, in Vaughan, Ontario. The Site measures 1.48 hectares

(approximately 3.66 acres) and is currently utilized for residential purposes, occupied by a

single storey residential dwelling with a basement walkout. The Site is planned for

redevelopment with two (2) multi-storey, residential condominiums.

1.2 Background

The need for the Phase Two ESA was identified in the CCIG Phase One ESA completed for the

Site in December 2014. The Phase One ESA identified the following APECs during the

completion of the Phase One ESA.

Soil & Groundwater

The spill that occurred to the southwest of the Site may have impacted the Site through

groundwater migration. Debris observed in the northwest portion of the Site has the potential to

impact shallow soil at the Site.

1.3 Scope of Work

In order to investigate the APECs identified, a Phase Two ESA investigation, consisting of

drilling, soil and groundwater sampling, and chemical analyses was conducted at the Site. The

Phase Two ESA was conducted in accordance with the requirements of Ontario Regulation

153/04, as amended.

CCIG supervised the drilling and monitoring well installation conducted by Fisher Environmental

Drilling between January 27 and February 4, 2015, and by Fadroy Drilling on March 23, 2015.

Four (4) boreholes, BH1(MW), BH2(MW), BH2A(MW) and BH3(MW), with monitoring well

installations, were advanced to depths ranging from 6.1 meters below grade (mbg) to 12.2 mbg.

For assessment purposes, CCIG selected the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change

(MOECC) 2011 Table 8 Site Condition Standards (SCS) for Residential/Parkland/Institutional

property use.

1.4 Results

In general, the soil stratigraphy comprised of fill material (consisting of reworked native soil

originating on-Site) underlain by sandy silt and silty clay till to the end depth of the boreholes.

Cross-sections illustrating the subsurface strata and monitoring well screen depths are

illustrated in Figures 3 and 4.

The MOECC Table 8 Standards were selected for the Phase Two ESA based on the following

rationale:

The Phase Two RSC Property is not considered environmentally sensitive as per the criteria

in Section 41 of O.Reg. 153/04:

the Site is not within, adjacent to, and does not include land within 30 m of an area of

natural significance. Based on the Areas of Natural and Scientific Interest (ANSI) map

provided by EcoLog ERIS Ltd., there are no Areas of Natural Significance located within

the Phase One Study Area.

Soil samples submitted for laboratory analysis for pH, from above 1.5 m (surface soils)

and below 1.5 m (sub-surface soils) identified pH values of 7.69 and 7.68, respectively.

These values are within the acceptable range of 5 to 9 for surface soils, and 5 to 11 for

sub-surface soils.

The Phase Two RSC Property is subject to Section 43.1 of O.Reg. 153/04, due to the

presence of a water body within 30 m of the Site.

The property is designated as residential property use, and no change in land use is

planned.

The Site is covered with more than 2 m of overburden.

The predominant soil type on the properties is considered to be medium/fine textured. A

grain size analysis conducted by CCIG on a soil sample determined that 53.6 % by mass of

the soil sample passed through a 75 µm sieve. This indicated that the soil texture applicable

to the Site is fine.

Monitoring wells were installed during this Phase Two ESA in the unconfined aquifer at the Site.

The measured depths to the groundwater table ranged from 4.96 mbg to 11.24 mbg. Due to

slow groundwater recovery in BH2(MW), BH2A(MW) was installed at a greater depth to obtain

groundwater in the vicinity of BH2(MW). No free product or oily sheen was observed in any of

the monitoring wells. Based on the groundwater elevation contours, we have interpreted the

inferred direction of the groundwater flow to be in a southeasterly direction.

Bedrock was not encountered in boreholes drilled during this investigation. However, based on

available bedrock topography maps, bedrock is expected to occur at approximately 150 mbg.

The horizontal hydraulic gradient was calculated based on two sets of monitoring wells and

ranged from 0.016 m/m [BH1(MW) to BH3(MW)] to 0.068 m/m [BH1(MW) to BH2A(MW)], with

an average horizontal hydraulic gradient of 0.042 m/m.

A total of seven (7) soil samples and five (5) groundwater samples, including one (1) duplicate

sample of each soil and groundwater and two (2) trip blanks for groundwater, were analyzed by

Maxxam Analytics for the presence of various contaminants of concern (COCs) to investigate

soil and groundwater quality impacts related to the aforementioned APECs. These COCs

included: PHC F1-F4, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons

(PAHs), metals and inorganics.

The results of chemical analyses identified no exceedences of the MOECC Table 8 Standards

in any tested soil and groundwater samples on the Phase Two RSC Property.

We understand that no fill material has ever been imported to the Site.

We do not expect that underground utilities would act as contaminant transport at the Site.

The exact location of the future building development at the Site is not known; however, there

are no known soil vapours that could impact any future developments at the Site.

Based on the results of the Phase Two ESA investigations conducted at the Site, there are no

contaminants present in soil or groundwater in the tested locations at concentrations exceeding

the applicable MOECC Table 8 Standards.
