Qualified Person’s Statements and CertificationsAs the qualified person, I certify that:

A phase one environmental site assessment of the RSC property, which includes the evaluation of the information gathered from a records review, site reconnaissance, interviews, a report and any updates required, has been conducted in accordance with the regulation by or under the supervision of a qualified person as required by the regulation.

A phase two environmental site assessment of the RSC property, which includes the evaluation of the information gathered from planning and conducting a site investigation, a report, and any updates required, has been conducted in accordance with the regulation by or under the supervision of a qualified person as required by the regulation.

The information represents the site conditions at the sampling points at the time of sampling only and the conditions between and beyond the sampling points may vary.

As of 2014/01/28, in my opinion, based on the phase one environmental site assessment and the phase two environmental site assessment, and any confirmatory sampling, there is no evidence of any contaminants in the soil, ground water or sediment on, in or under the RSC property that would interfere with the type of property use to which the RSC property will be put, as specified in the RSC.

Ground water sampling has been conducted in accordance with the regulation by or under the supervision of a qualified person as required by the regulation.

I have, within the six months immediately before the submission of this record of site condition, given written notice of intention to apply non-potable ground water site condition standards to the clerk of the local municipality in which the property is located and the clerk of any upper-tier municipality in which the property is located.

As of 2014/01/28, in my opinion, based on the phase one and phase two environmental site assessments and any confirmatory sampling, the RSC property meets the applicable full depth generic site condition standards prescribed by section 37 of the regulation for all contaminants prescribed by the regulation in relation to the type of property use for which this RSC is filed, except for those contaminants (if any) specified in this RSC at Table 2, Maximum Contaminant Concentrations Compared to Standards Specified in a Risk Assessment.

As of 2014/01/28, the maximum known concentration of each contaminant in soil, sediment and ground water at the RSC property for which sampling and analysis has been performed is specified in this RSC at Table 1, Maximum Contaminant Concentrations Compared to Applicable Site Condition Standards.

I am a qualified person and have the qualifications required by section 5 of the regulation.

I have in place an insurance policy that satisfies the requirements of section 7 of the regulation.

I acknowledge that the RSC will be submitted for filing in the Environmental Site Registry, that records of site condition that are filed in the Registry are available for examination by the public and that the Registry contains a notice advising users of the Registry who have dealings with any property to consider conducting their own due diligence with respect to the environmental condition of the property, in addition to reviewing information in the Registry.

The opinions expressed in this RSC are engineering or scientific opinions made in accordance with generally accepted principles and practices as recognized by members of the environmental engineering or science profession or discipline practising at the same time and in the same or similar location.

I do not hold and have not held and my employer LVM|MERLEX LTD.does not hold and has not held a direct or indirect interest in the RSC property or any property which includes the RSC property and was the subject of a phase one or two environmental site assessmentor risk assessment upon which this record of site condition is based

To the best of my knowledge, the certifications and statements in this part of the RSCare true as of 2014/01/28.

By signing this RSC, I make no express or implied warranties or guarantees.

PHASE TWO ESA - CONCEPTUAL SITE MODEL – 256 NIP ISSING STREET, STURGEON FALLS, ONTARIO

1

PHASE TWO CONCEPTUAL SITE MODEL

Discussion of the Conceptual Site Model (CSM) of the Phase Two Study Area

LVM | Merlex Ltd. has created several figures to help in understanding the current and historical

conditions of the original Phase One and Two Property, the Phase One Study Area, and the RSC

Property. These figures make up the Conceptual Site Model (CSM) and are discussed below. The

Phase Two CSM is provided and discussed in this section, as required under O. Reg. 153/04, as

amended. The CSM is based on recent Phase Two ESA work. The approximate location of the new

building as well as the area of imported fill on the Site is outlined in the figures. The figures are included

in Appendix 1.

I. Potentially Contaminating Activities and Areas of Potential Environmental Concern

The Phase One and Two Property (identical boundaries) are located in the Municipality of Sturgeon Falls,

Ontario (see Drawing No. 1b, Appendix 1).

During the Phase One ESA (LVM | Merlex Ltd., 2013/2014, Ref. No. 13/10/13196), three (3) APECs

attributable to historical and current PCAs situated within 250 m of the Phase Two Property were

identified. One (1) PCA resulting in an APEC was identified on the Site. No other PCAs were identified

located within 250 m of the Phase Two Property boundaries. PCAs and APECs are discussed below and

illustrated on Drawing No. 4 in Appendix 1.

On-Site PCAs resulting in an APEC at the RSC Property

One (1) PCA resulting in an APEC was identified on the Site (RSC One Property). The west/southwest

end of the Site around the area of the newly constructed building has been backfilled and graded with

imported fill of unknown quality (PCA #30). The contaminants of concern potentially associated with

excavating the fill from the original source off-Site, transporting the fill to the Phase II Property, and

grading the fill at the Phase II Property, are PHCs in the F1 – F4 range and BTEX compounds.

Off-Site PCAs resulting in APECs at the RSC Property

Three (3) PCAs were identified on properties adjacent to the Site that resulted in APECs along the

boundaries of the RSC Property.

PCA 1 is located off-Site along the north boundary of the Site and includes a rail line (PCA #46) and the

area immediately adjacent to the rail line to the north where there is a fuel storage area (PCA #28) and a

vehicle maintenance operation (PCA #27). As these PCAs are adjacent to the site to the north and

considered up gradient they result in an APEC along the north boundary of the Site (APEC 1).

Contaminants of concern in this area include PHCs F1 – F4, BTEX, PAHs, and metals.

PCA 2 is located off-Site along the east boundary of the Site and includes a sign manufacturer (PCA #8

and #39) with a fuel oil AST (PCA #28) servicing the building. As these PCAs are adjacent to the site to

the east and considered up/cross gradient they result in an APEC along the east boundary of the Site

(APEC 2). Contaminants of concern in this APEC include PHCs F1 – F4, PAHs, and VOCs.

13/10/13196


2

PCA 3 was identified off-Site along the west boundary of the Property and involved a welding/fabricating

shop (PCA #34) opposite Nipissing Street, and the historical and possible ongoing PCB storage site (PCA

#8). As these PCAs are adjacent to the Site to the west and considered cross/down gradient they result in

an APEC along the west boundary of the Site (APEC 1). Contaminants of concern in this APEC include

PHCs F1 – F4, PAHs, BTEX, PCBs, and metals.

The APECs occurring on the Phase Two Property have been thoroughly investigated for all associated

COCs. Contaminants of concern were above the applicable MOE SCS not identified in any APECs on the

Subject Site.

Contaminants of concern were found to be below the applicable MOE SCS for all identified APECs on

and off the Subject Site.

II. Subsurface Structures and Utilities

At the time of this investigation, a municipal drinking water line was known to be present in the subsurface

as it was previously associated with Site operations (mini-putt) located on the RSC Property. No other

subsurface structures or utilities were identified.

Physical Characteristics

I. Stratigraphy from ground surface to the deepest aquifer or aquitard investigated

Geologic cross sections were constructed to illustrate the stratigraphy at the Site. The cross section

locations are shown on Drawing No. 5 and the cross sections A‐A’ and B‐B’ are illustrated on Drawing No.

6.

II. Hydrogeological Characteristics

The geodetic elevation of the Site is approximately ±212 m above sea level (Google Earth, 2013). Based

upon local geological mapping (Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources, Northern Ontario Engineering

Geology Terrain Study Data Base Map – North Bay, Map 5041, 1979), the subsurface conditions are

comprised of glaciolacustrine plains made up of silty sands as the dominant landform. The topographic

variety of the dominant landform is considered to be a plain, or flat. Local relief is considered to be mainly

low and drainage is dry with a suspected high water table.

Groundwater levels were encountered between 1.55 to 2.06 metres below original ground surface

(mbgs), with an inferred flow direction southwesterly, towards the Sturgeon River and eventually

Lake Nipissing.

The topography of the Site slopes down from northeast to southwest, towards the Sturgeon River,

eventually leading to Lake Nipissing.

There are no known environmentally sensitive areas in the study area of the Site.

The permeability of the main geological units was estimated as follows:

Sand fill: 10-1 to 10-5 cm/sec Natural Sands: 10-1 to 10-3 cm/sec

Based on the Site-specific geology, the main units investigated during the Phase Two ESA were the fill

and the native sand units, and wells were constructed to straddle the encountered groundwater table.

Groundwater measurements based upon one sampling event on Site ranged from 1.55 mbgs to 2.06

mbgs and groundwater flow was shown to flow to the southwest.

The horizontal gradient across the Site was measured as approximately 3.44 x 10-3 metres per metre

(m/m).

III. Approximate depth to bedrock

The approximate depth to bedrock on Site is unknown as boreholes were advanced to 4.5 mbgs and

bedrock was not encountered.

13/10/13196


4

Bedrock elevations in the area are known to be highly variable, with significant elevation differences over

short horizontal distances. Based upon available records, the estimated depth to bedrock in the area of

the Site is 5 to >20 mbgs based on local spot elevations of known bedrock outcrops at surface (Google

Earth, 2013), and data from the LVM-Merlex Historical Geotechnical Database. The bedrock surface at

Minnehaha Bay, located approximately 500 m to the west-south-west of the Site was encountered at

elevations ranging from 200.6 m to 193.8 m during a 2009 Geotechnical Investigation (LVM-Merlex,

2009).

IV. Approximate depth to water table

Groundwater measurements based upon one sampling event on Site ranged from 1.55 mbgs to 2.06

mbgs and groundwater flow was shown to flow to the southwest. The groundwater contours and

interpreted groundwater flow direction are presented on Drawing 3 found in Appendix 1.

V. Any respect in which section 41 or 43.1 of the Regulation applies to the property

In regards to section 41 of O. Reg. 153/04:

a) The Property:

i. is not situated within an area of natural significance;

ii. does not include, nor is it adjacent to, an area of natural significance or part of such an

area;

iii. does not include land that is within 30 metres of an area of natural significance or part of

such an area.

b) Soil with pH values outside of the acceptable ranges was not identified on the subject site

In regards to section 43.1 of O. Reg. 153/04:

a) The Property:

i. is not a shallow soil property;

ii. does not include all or part of a water body, nor is it adjacent to a water body, and does

not include land that is within 30 m of a water body.

Sections 41 and 43.1 do not apply to the subject site.

VI. Areas where soil has been brought from another property and placed on, in or under the Phase Two Property

Granular fill is present in the western portion of the Site for developing the office/residential building now

present on Site. It is reported by the builder that the quantity of fill brought to the site was 432 m3. On

March 3rd, 2014, three (3) soil samples (one for every 160 m3 of soil brought to the site) plus a duplicate

soil sample were obtained from the fill brought to the Site. The samples were analytically tested for

contaminants of concern (COCs) that may have come into contact with the soil during removal from the

pit, transportation, and grading on the RSC Property. COCs included BTEX and PHCs in F1 to F4

ranges. None of the COCs were present in any of the soil samples at concentrations exceeding

applicable MOE SCS.

13/10/13196

VII. Approximate locations of proposed building or structures

A new mixed use commercial/residential building was constructed at the Phase Two Property in the area

of the southwest quadrant of the Site.

Additional Information Soil Quality

Environmental conditions within the soils were characterized based on the analytical results of soil

samples obtained during the Phase Two ESA field investigation.

Three (3) sampled boreholes (all of which were developed with monitoring wells), and three (3) auger

probes, were advanced on the RSC Property.

One (1) sampled borehole developed with monitoring well was advanced in each of APECs 1, 2 and 3.

COCs were not detected in any of the submitted soil samples obtained from the RSC Property at

concentrations that exceed the applicable Site Condition Standards (SCS) (see Certificates of Analysis in

Appendix 3).

Granular fill is present in the western portion of the Site for developing the office/residential building now

present on Site. It is reported by the builder that the quantity of fill brought to the site was 432 m3. On

March 3rd, 2014, three (3) soil samples (one for every 160 m3 of soil brought to the site) plus a duplicate

soil sample were obtained from the fill brought to the Site. The samples were analytically tested for

contaminants of concern (COCs) that may have come into contact with the soil during removal from the

pit, transportation, and grading on the RSC Property. COCs included BTEX and PHCs in F1 to F4

ranges. None of the COCs were present in any of the soil samples at concentrations exceeding

applicable MOE SCS.

For a complete list of results, see Appendix 3 for the Certificate of Analysis provided by AGAT Laboratory.

The soil quality investigation concluded that none of the PCAs has resulted in a confirmed area of

environmental concern and therefore no additional environmental work was required at the RSC Property.

Groundwater Quality

Environmental conditions within the groundwater were characterized based on the analytical results of

groundwater samples obtained during the Phase II ESA field investigation.

Three (3) monitoring wells were constructed on the RSC Property, one in each of APEC 1, 2, and 3. No

COCs were detected at concentrations that exceed the applicable site condition standards from any of

the groundwater samples obtained from the RSC One Property. For further detail, see the Certificate of

Analysis found in Appendix 3 of this report.

The combined results of the soil and groundwater samples lead to the conclusion that no additional

environmental work was required for the APECs located on the Phase Two Property.

Vapour Intrusion

Vapour intrusion was not investigated as part of the Phase Two ESA as there was no occupied buildings

located on the Phase Two Property at the time of the ESA II field investigation. A new building is currently

under construction. Based on the soil and water quality findings, a vapour intrusion investigation does not

appear to be warranted.

Contaminant Pathways and Receptors

Based on the analytical results of the soil and groundwater samples obtained from the ESA Phase II

property meeting the applicable MOE SCS, it is LVM | Merlex Ltd.’s opinion that it is not necessary to

carry out a study of the human health and ecological contaminant pathway and receptor models,

identifying the source, release mechanisms, transport pathways, human and ecological receptors on, in

or under the RSC Property, and types and routes of receptor exposure. See Drawing No.’s 6 and 7 in

Appendix 1.
