1 INTRODUCTION
Levelton Consultants Ltd. (Levelton) was retained by Associated Engineering (B.C.) Ltd. (AE) to conduct screening
level geotechnical and environmental subsurface investigations as part of a broader Feasibility Study for the
potential Glen Pump Station Abandonment. The revised scope of services for this work, Phase 2 (Preliminary
Subsurface Characterization) was provided in Levelton’s proposal (P715-0653-00) dated 10 July 2015.
The feasibility study was commissioned by the City of Vancouver to assess the potential abandonment of Glen
Pump Station, located on the east side of China Creek North Park in the City of Vancouver (the City). If the
abandonment of this pump station proceeds, wastewater flow that is currently directed to the pump station would
be re-directed to the City’s Terminal Pump Station (located at the southeast corner of Terminal Avenue and St.
George St). The re-direction would involve the construction of a new sanitary sewer line primarily along Great
Northern Way. The City is also considering the construction of a new larger pump station to replace the existing
Glen Pump Station, if the option of re-directing wastewater flow along Great Northern Way is not selected.
In May 2015, Levelton presented a geotechnical-environmental desktop study report for the project. The study
identified potentially adverse conditions related to historical mass filling in the area and recommended that
further subsurface work be undertaken to verify conditions. This report, along with the attached figures and
appendices, provides a summary of geotechnical and environmental findings following the completion of a
screening level subsurface investigation along the proposed sewer alignment. Discussion is provided on potential
geotechnical and environmental considerations, based on the findings of the subsurface investigations. Also
provided is preliminary discussion on potential design considerations for construction of a new pump station to
replace the existing Glen Pump Station.
2 PROJECT AND SITE DESCRIPTION
We understand from Associated Engineering (BC) Ltd., (AEL) that the proposed sanitary sewer alignment would
be a 500 mm diameter PVC sewer pipe extending from the existing Glen Pump Station, located to the northwest
of Glen Drive and East 7th Avenue, to the intersection of Great Northern Way and Glen Drive. From the intersection
of Great Northern Way and Glen Drive, the sanitary sewer would extend westward along the southern portion of
Great Northern Way for approximately 750 metres. The proposed sewer pipe would connect to the existing
sanitary sewer alignment along the Right-of-Way through 525 Great Northern Way. Figure 1 in Appendix A
illustrates the proposed sewer alignment.
We understand from AEL that the geodetic invert elevations of the proposed sewer line is 2.4 m at the Glen Pump
Station, and 1.4 m geodetic elevation at the west alignment terminus. Additionally, the sewer pipe will have an
approximate 0.11% slope. Therefore, we estimate that the approximate depth of the pipe invert will be in the
order of 2.5 m at the west end of the alignment and 3.5 m near Glen Pump Station. Information summarized in
Table A is used to describe the Site.

For the option of constructing a new pump station, we understand that this new facility would be located near
the existing Glen Pump Station on Glen Drive.

At the time of our site visits during our desktop review and subsurface investigation, it was noted that theproperties to the north of Great Northern Way were occupied by commercial buildings and parking lots. A vacantproperty was observed at the northwestern portion of the proposed sewer alignment. Residential properties andChina Creek North Park were observed along the southern portion of the alignment. China Creek North Park andthe Vancouver Community College campus were located on the west and east sides of Glen Drive, respectively. Aproperty located to the northeast of the site was occupied by Shaw Communications Inc.
3 FINDINGS OF PREVIOUS DESKTOP REVIEW
As indicated, Levelton had previously conducted a geotechnical and environmental desktop review for theproposed sanitary sewer alignment dated May 01, 2015. The available information gathered during the desktopreview indicated that Great Northern Way was located towards the southern boundary of a historical coastal inlet(False Creek inlet) and that was infilled and reclaimed in the early part of the 1900’s. Accordingly, there waspotential for the proposed sewer alignment to be located in an area of thick random bulk fill. Available geologicalmapping indicated that underlying the fill within the historical inlet were geologically recent marine deposits.Mapping and previous assessments completed by Levelton indicated that firm ground (including sedimentarybedrock) was present in areas to the south of the former inlet.
The following subsections were extracted from Levelton’s desktop review report for the purpose of summarizingthe findings of that report.
3.1 GEOTECHNICAL CONSIDERATIONS FROM DESKTOP REVIEW
From a geotechnical perspective, the desktop review indicated that a portion of the proposed sewer alignmentlocated at or near the northwest end (approximately 200 m lineal metre) may encounter little to no bulk fill withtill and bedrock at shallow depths, depending on the location of the alignment off of Great Northern Way. Giventhe variability in ground conditions, further subsurface characterization was recommended to reduceuncertainties related to pipe support and long term performance, as well as potential construction installationchallenges.
3.2 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS
Our review of the land use within and at surrounding properties along the alignment indicated an elevatedpotential for soil or groundwater contamination issues due to the historical activities and land uses in the area ofthe alignment. Further soil and groundwater characterization was required to determine the extent of potential

issues. However, in the event that displaced soil and/or if infiltrating groundwater needs to be managed duringconstruction activities, the requirements of the applicable City of Vancouver Bylaws, BC EnvironmentalManagement Act, BC Contaminated Sites Regulation and the BC Hazardous Waste Regulation would apply. Soildisplaced during the excavation activities can be taken to a receiving property (non-agricultural lands) offsite onlyif the concentrations of the potential contaminants of concern (PCOCs) meet the applicable CSR Schedule 7Relocation Standards to Non-Agricultural Lands. There are potential cost and scheduling implications related tothis requirement that require careful planning.
The extent and requirements of groundwater management will depend on the depth of the trench relative to thegroundwater table, neither of which are confirmed at this time. There are cost and scheduling considerationsrelated to groundwater management that require careful planning. It is noted that there are regulated parametersoutlined in the City of Vancouver Sewer Discharge Bylaw and that it may be necessary to pump and treatgroundwater prior to disposal. Costs pertaining to soil transport, disposal and groundwater pump, treat anddischarge (including design and permitting) would form part of the further characterization and planning relatedto the environmental aspects of the proposed installation.
Trench worker exposure to the presence of contaminants in soil or infiltrating groundwater should be evaluatedas part of the further characterization.
A review of published and in-house information indicates that the site is located within an area that washistorically in-filled circa 1914. The source and the quality of the fill material was unknown and representedsignificant geotechnical and environmental uncertainty with respect to design, construction and cost premiums.In addition to the historical wide area filling, Levelton identified a number of environmentally registered propertiesadjacent alignment that were used for commercial and industrial purposes that raise potential concern withrespect to water quality. It was recommended that further subsurface investigation and characterization becompleted in support of the civil design and the necessary assessment of environmental soil and groundwaterquality. The desktop review had identified potential issues of soil and groundwater quality that elevate the needto develop a framework for soil and groundwater management plans for the works as well as trench worker safety.The extent of further characterization and the use of a single or phased methodology would depend on furtherdiscussions with AE and the City. The depth of the trenching, the actual alignment, proximity to existingstructure/utilities, performance criteria for settlement and seismic resilience and other design variables would allneed to be considered in developing the work program.
It was recommended that the soil and groundwater within the proposed alignment be characterized in generalaccordance with BC Ministry of Environment’s Technical Guidance Document #1. Soil characterization woulddetermine the presence or absence of any PCOCs identified for the site. The identified PCOCs for the site weremetals, light and heavy extractable petroleum hydrocarbons (LEPH/HEPH) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons(PAHs). Select soil samples were to be analyzed for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) for screening purposes. Ifthe PCOC concentrations in soil meet the applicable CSR Schedule 7 Relocation Standards to Non-AgriculturalLands, the displaced soils can be disposed of at a receiving facility which can be arranged by the contractor.However, if the concentrations exceed the applicable CSR Schedule 7 Relocation Standards (to non-agriculturallands), it will be necessary to review options for the disposal of soil at a permitted facility. Additionally, if soil wasfound with debris, such soil would have to relocated to a permitted disposal facility.

4 SITE INVESTIGATION
The drilling program, laboratory testing and subsurface conditions observed during the site investigation arediscussed in the following sections.
4.1 EXPLORATION AND LABORATORY TESTING PROGRAM
The subsurface investigation included a total of four (4) boreholes that were advanced at accessible locationsalong the southern alignment of Great Northern Way and on Glen Drive on 5 August 2015. The boreholes weredrilled with a truck mounted drill rig equipped with solid stem augers provided by Downrite Drilling Ltd. ofChilliwack, BC. Boreholes 15-MW2 and 15-MW4 were advanced to approximately 9.1m below existing grade,while boreholes 15-MW1 and 15-BH3 were advanced to approximately 7.6m and 3.1m below existing grade,respectively. In each case, the boreholes were terminated in inferred firm ground.
The borehole locations are presented in Figure 2 of Appendix A. Detailed soil and groundwater analytical resultsare presented in Figure 3 and Figure 4, respectively. Photographs captured during the subsurface investigationsare attached in Appendix B. Borehole logs prepared for both geotechnical and environmental observations areincluded in Appendix C.
Based on the encountered soil stratigraphy, soil samples were collected from the auger flights during theinvestigation for geotechnical laboratory classification and moisture content determination, as well as forenvironmental laboratory analysis.
The soil samples collected by Levelton’s environmental field staff were field screened with a photoionizationdetector (PID). The PID readings for each of the bagged soil samples were recorded in the field. The analytical planand the rationale for selecting soil samples that were submitted for analysis are summarized in Table B.

and static groundwater conditions were observed within the monitoring well following installation. The purgedwater from each well location appeared to be silty.
Monitoring wells were purged and sampled after at least 24 hours following well development. The fieldinformation pertinent to the groundwater samples prior to sampling is summarized in Table C.

The soil and groundwater samples submitted for analysis were submitted on a routine turnaround time of five toseven business days. The tabulated analytical results (Tables 1 through 9) are provided in Appendix D. Theassociated chain of custody and laboratory certificates are provided in Appendix E and F respectively.
Drilling activities at 15-MW1, 15-BH3 and 15-MW4, revealed that the stratigraphy beneath the roadway waswithout debris or deleterious odour. However, during drilling at 15-MW2 (located west of the intersection of GreatNorthern Way and Glen Drive), fill was encountered between the depths of 1.5m and 3m below grade. Debrisencountered in this layer included broken glass, wood waste, foam-like material mixed with silt. The silt exhibitedslight to moderate petroleum hydrocarbon like odour. Debris was not encountered below 3m below grade at 15-MW2.
4.2 SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
The following subsections outline the geological and environmental site characterization based on the results ofthe subsurface investigation.
4.2.1 Geological Characterization
Subsurface conditions encountered at the borehole locations were variable and generally reflective of conditionsanticipated from the desktop review. The boreholes generally encountered asphalt overlying fill, overlying nativesoil and sandstone / siltstone deposits. The asphalt varied in thickness between approximately 150 and 450mm,with the thickest layer of asphalt being located at 15MW-02 in an area underlain by random fill.

The fill deposits underlying the asphalt at the borehole locations varied in thickness along the proposed seweralignment, with the fill thickness generally increasing from west to east. Fill deposits at 15-MW2 extended to atleast 3.0 m, and possibly up to 4.9 m, and included soft silt fill with organics, wood waste and glass, overlying softsilt. The fill material at 15-MW1 in the vicinity of the pump station was comprised of sand with varying amountsof silt to approximately 4.0 m below surface grade. Towards the west extent of the proposed sewer alignmentalong Great Northern Way, the fill thickness decreased to less than approximately 1.5 m at 15-MW4 and 15-BH3,and was comprised of silt with varying amounts of sand.
Underlying the fill deposits, the native soils generally consisted of silt and sand overlying an inferred weaksandstone or siltstone bedrock. The depth to the sandstone / siltstone bedrock increased along the proposedsewer alignment from west to east. Near the existing Glen Pump Station (15-MW1), bedrock was inferred at adepth of approximately 4.6 m below surface grade. Bedrock was likely at about 6.7 m below grade near theintersection of Glen Drive and Great Northern Way (15-MW2). At the west portion of the sewer alignment (15BH-03 and 15MW-04) bedrock is likely present at depths at or less than 1.5 m below surface grade.
Based on the depth to pipe invert increasing from approximately 2.5 m at Glen Pump Station to 3.5 m at the westterminus of the alignment, the drilling indicates a greater likelihood of random fill materials below pipe invert inthe easterly portion of the alignment.
As reported in Table C, groundwater was encountered at approximately 2.5 m below grade near the east portionof the alignment (15-MW1 and 15-MW2). The water depth reading was 5.4 m below grade near the west portionof the alignment (15-MW4) in an area inferred to be underlain by shallow bedrock.
It should be noted that the above descriptions of bedrock depths are somewhat uncertain, and therefore thisreport and the attached soil logs use language such as “likely”, “approximately”, “inferred” and “possibly” todescribe the depth of sandstone and siltstone. The reason for this is that the field investigation was completedusing a solid-stem auger drill bit selected to penetrate and enable effective sampling of the expected fill materials.Such equipment has a tendency to disturb / rework in weak situ sandstone and siltstone rock deposits, such thatthese deposits may appear as sand or silt soil when the auger is retrieved to the ground surface. As a result, theattached soil logs describe the condition of the material which was logged in the field during the drillinginvestigation, and also where appropriate identifies deposits as “possibly” sandstone or siltstone, based on ourunderstanding of the geological history of the site, drilling resistance and experience with other nearby projectsites. It would be necessary to core or advance a SONIC bit to obtain better quality samples for confirmation.
4.2.2 Environmental Characterization
Soil samples collected from the auger flights were submitted as per the analytical program outlined in Table B.The results of the analysis were compared to the applicable BC Ministry of Environment (BC MoE) ContaminatedSites Regulation (CSR) Industrial Land Use (IL) and Schedule 7 Relocation to Non-Agricultural Lands (RNAL)Standards. Analytical results revealed that the soil samples collected from 15-MW1, 15-BH3 and 15-MW4 met theapplicable CSR standards for metals. However, zinc exceedance was identified in the soil sample collected from15-MW2 at a depth of 2.4m below grade. The zinc concentration of this soil sample (185ug/g) exceeded the CSRRelocation to Non-Agricultural Land standard (150ug/g).
Petroleum hydrocarbon (such as HEPH, PAHs, VPH and xylenes) were above the laboratory detection limits, butdid not exceed the applicable CSR Standards. This indicates that the anticipated fill layer was intersected in thearea of 15-MW2.

Groundwater samples collected from each monitoring well location (15-MW1, 15-MW2 and 15-MW4) were alsosubmitted for applicable PCOCs as prescribed in Table D. The analytical results indicated that concentrations ofdissolved metals met the applicable CSR groundwater flow for drinking water use (DW) standards. The dissolvediron concentration at 15-MW2 was 42 mg/L, however at 15-MW1 it was 0.95 mg/L and below the laboratorydetection limit at 15-MW3. The dissolved iron concentration at 15-MW2 is above the CSR DW standard(6,500µg/L) and the MetroVancouver sewer use By-Law (total iron should be less than 10 mg/L). Dissolvedmanganese concentrations at 15-MW1 (0.855mg/L) and 15-MW2 (1.75mg/L) also exceed CSR DW standard of0.55mg/L but met MetroVancouver’s sewer use Bylaw limit for total manganese of 5mg/L. The LEPH/EPHw10-19
concentrations in the groundwater sample collected from 15-MW1 and 15-MW2 were below the applicablestandards. PAH and VOC concentrations from the groundwater sample collected from 15-MW1 and 15-MW2 werebelow laboratory detection limits and met the applicable CSR standards.
Groundwater samples collected from each well location were also submitted for total suspended solids and totaloil and grease. Although no BC CSR groundwater standards apply for these parameters, the analysis wasconducted to determine the quality of the groundwater that is expected to infiltrate through the alignment. If thegroundwater from each well location was to be directly discharged into the sanitary sewer, the total suspendedsolids and total oil and grease levels from these groundwater samples would meet the applicable bylaw limits.
5 DISCUSSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
5.1 GENERAL
The geotechnical and environmental subsurface assessment indicates that the southern edge of the GreatNorthern Way lies close to the southern shoreline of the historical infilled False Creek inlet. A critical finding interms of design issues and potential construction costs is the difference in engineering and environmentalconsiderations of an alignment that is located within the random fills in the former inlet and an alignment locatedbeyond the footprint of the inlet. The soil and groundwater conditions, including the thickness and quality of fill,could change significantly in the north-south direction across Great Northern Way. As such, from a geotechnicaland environmental viewpoint, it is would prudent to establish an alignment south of the Great Northern Way toreduce design challenges and construction costs. Should it be necessary to utilize a sewer alignment that is firmlywithin the area of historical infilling, we would recommend that consideration be given to a civil design that utilizesa shallow forcemain type solution to reduce issues related to groundwater management, temporary excavationsupport and the impact of long-term ongoing settlements (as would impact a deeper low gradient gravity typeline).
We have not at this time given much consideration to a trenchless installation methodology in which deepexcavation support and dewatering issues could be significantly reduced as this is generally beyond the scope ofthe feasibility review. Our initial view is that a trenchless installation option would be prohibitively expensive forthe proposed design due to a combination of grade control issues, pipe diameter and the nature of the subsurfaceconditions. A specific review of trenchless options could be undertaken, if requested.
We anticipate that conventional large excavation equipment can be used to rip, hammer or excavate the soils andweak sandstone / siltstone encountered during the subsurface investigation. We note that it is possible thatboulders of glacial origin may be encountered along the proposed alignment, which may require hard excavatingand breaking. Blasting should generally be avoided due to the presence of loose materials and nearbyunderground utilities.

Subsurface conditions in the vicinity of the proposed replacement pump station on Glen Drive include firm groundbearing conditions at a depth of around 4 m. Assuming that the pump station foundation elements extend to firmground, it is likely that a system of conventional reinforced concrete footings or raft can be used. Detailed designwill need to look at lateral loading and seismic response of poor ground adjacent the new structure. Constructionconsiderations will include temporary ground support, dewatering and off site settlement induced throughconstruction dewatering.
The results indicated that the registered properties identified in Levelton’s Desktop Review posed a low potentialof environmental concern to the alignment. The bulk fill identified in Levelton’s Desktop Review was likelyintersected at the borehole location 15-MW2, due to the various types of refuse observed during drilling. Thelateral extent of the bulk fill was not delineate during this investigation but would be expected to extend to thenorth. The laboratory analysis indicates that the fill and groundwater is contaminated in the area of 15-MW2.Approximate costs pertaining to the soil transport and disposal of the encountered soil and debris in 15-MW2 canbe obtained based on the soil results obtained from this investigation.
PCOC concentrations in the groundwater collected from each of the monitoring well locations (15-MW1, MW2and 15-MW4) met the applicable CSR DW standards with the exception of dissolved iron. Treatment of metals inthe infiltrating groundwater (specifically iron) would be considered necessary prior to discharge into the sanitarysewer, specifically for groundwater infiltrating from the fill layer in the area of 15-MW2. There may be variabilityin the concentrations of petroleum hydrocarbons in groundwater in the vicinity of 15-MW2 which may also requiresome treatment. Further assessment would be necessary to refine groundwater discharge volumes necessary tofacilitate the completion of the Waste Discharge Application, which is discussed in section 5.2. The depth of thepipe, nature of the material and duration of the works would need to be reviewed along with confirmation of themunicipalities’ requirements for this particular project.
5.2 ENVIRONMENTAL PERMITTING CONSIDERATIONS
Prior to the commencement of the trench excavation, a waste discharge permit will need to be obtained from theCity of Vancouver. Effluent discharge will need to be collected and submitted to a qualified laboratory for theanalysis of total metals, total suspended solids, total oil & grease and total PAHs. From a technical perspective,the effluent should be analyzed to determine whether the maximum allowable discharge concentrations havebeen met, as required by the waste discharge permit. In the absence of other arrangements, we would anticipatethat disposal of the infiltrating groundwater encountered during the excavation activities would be subjected tothe City of Vancouver’s Sewer and Watercourse Bylaw No. 8093. Further review and discussions should be heldwith the municipality to establish whether infiltrating groundwater encountered during the construction works isrequired to be treated to lower iron concentration to the permissible limit of the GVSDDSUB Schedule B RestrictedWaste standards. A copy of the applicable Metro Vancouver and City of Vancouver Sewerage Bylaws is includedin Appendix G.
5.3 DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
5.3.1 Sewer Alignment
As indicated above, a key finding from the assessment is the proximity of Great Northern Way to the southernlimit of the former False Creek shoreline. In general, a northward relocation of the sewer alignment may have asignificant impact on the environmental and geotechnical design recommendations as we would expect thesubsurface conditions, including the extent and quality of fill soils, to vary significantly in the north-south direction

across Great Northern Way. A significant consideration related to an alignment that is within the bulk infill is thepotential impact on existing buried infrastructure and the requirements for trench support to support the existinglocal infrastructure and roadway during construction.
5.3.2 Seismic Design Considerations
The City of Vancouver has indicated that there are no seismic design requirements for new sewer constructionbut that the City will require a new pump station facility to be post-disaster operational, and designed to meetthe requirements of the 2012 British Columbia Building Code. Therefore, the discussion herein pertaining toseismic design is focussed to a possible new pump station near the existing Glen Pump Station, and is based onthe soil conditions observed at 15-MW1.
The seismic provisions of the 2012 British Columbia Building Code are based on an earthquake with 2% probabilityof exceedance in 50 years, or the A2475 event. Amplification factors Fa and Fv to describe the amplification ofoutcrop earthquake motions for seismic design are based on site categories which are defined as different SiteClasses in Table 4.1.8.4A of the 2012 BC Building. Site Class is generally based on the soil or bedrock propertiesaveraged over the 30 m depth immediately below the structure footings.
The subsurface site conditions near 15-MW1 are expected to vary with depth from sand fill to more competentnative soil or bedrock deposits. Foundations that are located at least 4 m below the existing surface grade (e.g.the wet well) would likely bear within very dense soil and weak rock. However, the sand fill deposits below thewater table (between approximately 2.5 and 4.0 m depth) may be susceptible to liquefaction during the A2475design earthquake. Lowering foundations to the firm ground, removing and/or replacing the existing fill withapproved engineering fill would be options to review during detailed design. It would be intended for foundationdesign/ground improvement to be completed in a manner to allow the site to be considered Site Class C in termsof seismic design.
In addition to the above, in order for a new pump station facility to be designed to be post-disaster operational,detailed design for the pump station will need to give consideration to the following:
Foundation bearing capacity for near surface structures during seismic loading and post-liquefactionstructure settlement as a result of soil reconsolidation.
Seismic lateral earth pressures against the below-grade structure walls both before and after liquefactionof the surrounding sand fills and possible ground improvement to create an adequate buffer.
Lateral spreading as a consequence of liquefaction, including the resulting horizontal forces imposed onthe subsurface structure and lateral displacements of the structure and possible ground improvement tocreate an adequate buffer; and
Requirements to avoid potential floatation of the pump station wet well as a result of liquefaction of thesurrounding soils.
Further geotechnical input would be necessary during detailed design to assess and develop mitigative measuresrelated to potential negative consequences of soil liquefaction and have a new pump station facility as post-disaster operational. Such measures could include ground improvement to create a buffer at a new pump stationlocation. We note that significant strain may develop during the A2475 earthquake in pipes not designed for

seismic loading. As a result, pipes connected to the pump station may not be in service after a design earthquakeevent.
5.3.3 Pump Station
Apart from the seismic design considerations presented in Section 5.3.2, the pump station designrecommendations will be dependent on the design depth of the pump station foundations. Near 15-MW2,naturally occurring soils below approximately 4 m would likely be suitable for construction of the wet wellfoundations. The silty sand fill is unlikely to be suitable to provide adequate bearing given the City’s requirementsfor post disaster functionality.
Other important design considerations for pump station design will include post-construction structuresettlement, lateral earth pressures against the below-grade structure walls and design against buoyancy duringboth static and dynamic conditions.
5.3.4 Long-Term Pipe Settlement
The post-construction settlement of the sewer pipe will be highly dependent on final alignment and thecharacteristics of the subgrade soils. The subgrade soils beneath the pipe invert at the borehole locationstransition from natural occurring deposits likely comprised of siltstone or sandstone near the west end of theproject alignment to soft clayey silt (possibly fill) and silty sand fill at the east end of the alignment. The soft clayeysilt will be susceptible to consolidation settlement as a result of net increases in effective stress within these soils,and also as a result of disturbance to the subgrade during construction. Some organics were also identified withinthe clayey silt beneath the proposed pipe invert and depending on the amount of organics present, long-termpipe settlement may also occur as a result of degradation of the organic deposits.
A detailed review of potential construction and post construction settlements will be required once an alignmenthas been selected and pipe inverts confirmed due to the low design gradient and the implication of total anddifferential settlement on the functionality of the pipe. Given the historical filling which occurred at the site circa1914, it is possible that the transition between settlement-insensitive materials and settlement-sensitive soils (i.e.random fills and soft clayey silt) may be abrupt. If such situations arise, it may be necessary for the civil design toincorporate joint restraints or implement subgrade improvements.
5.3.5 Pavement Restoration
Pavement structures for reinstatement of the existing roadways following the installation of the sewer pipe shouldconform to the City of Vancouver Street Restoration Manual, with the base and sub-base courses being inaccordance to the appropriate specifications for these materials and compacted to a minimum 95% ModifiedProctor density.
Alternative pavement sections may be possible and can be provided at subsequent design stages.
5.4 CONSTRUCTION CONSIDERATIONS
5.4.1 Construction Trench Worker Exposure
The analytical results of the soil and groundwater sample analyses indicate the exceedance of zinc with respect tothe CSR Schedule 7 standards (non-agricultural land) in the area of 15-MW2. However, the results met theapplicable CSR soil and groundwater standards for the Site. Since the soil and groundwater samples collected andsubmitted for analysis met the applicable CSR standards for the Site, Risk Assessment for the Construction TrenchWorker exposure to the PCOCs is not considered required at this time.

AbandonmentPreliminary Geotechnical and Environmental Site
CharacterizationPage | 11
Notwithstanding the zinc exceedance identified in the fill layer in 15-MW2, the human health risk posed by theconcentrations of tested potential contaminants in the encountered stratigraphy at borehole locations 15-MW1,15-BH3 and 15-MW4 is considered to be low.
5.4.2 Excavated Soil Management
Soil mixed with debris of a nature similar to that in the area of 15-MW2 should be taken to an offsite permittedfacility for disposal due to the identified zinc exceedance with respect to the applicable CSR relocation standardsto non-agricultural lands. Generally, soil with characteristics represented by the data in the area of 15-MW1, 15-BH3 and 15-MW4 may be taken to a receiving property (which is not used for agricultural purposes) or reusedwithin the alignment as backfill (subject to geotechnical approval), provided that the excavated soil is free ofdebris. Any soil with debris or with detectable CSR Schedule 11 PCOCs should be disposed off at a permittedfacility.
As noted above, the extent of the historical bulk fill has not been laterally delineated and the nature and thicknessmay vary widely, particularly if the alignment were to be moved to the north. From a soil handling perspective,additional borehole drilling and testing is recommended if the alignment is shifted to the north. Additionalborehole drilling and testing would be prudent to refine excavation/disposal volumes and costs along the currentlyalignment, if selected. We note that the contractor may need to collect and analyse soil samples during trenchexcavation activities to screen for PCOCs in the absence of sufficient testing to characterize conditions inaccordance with CSR relocation requirements.
5.4.3 Temporary Trench and Excavation Support
Temporary trench and excavation support requirements vary widely along the alignment and are dependent onthe nature of subsurface conditions, the proximity of the water table, the presence of existing infrastructure(buried or surface), as well factors including the duration of the excavation and traffic management. Forexcavations in the order of 2.5 to 3.5 m in depth there is insufficient space to consider a slope excavation for thecurrently proposed alignment. As such, open excavations will need to be supported for worker safety as well assupport adjacent utilities while maintaining trench stability. We note that the proposed sewer alignment alongthe south portion of Great Northern Way and Glen Drive is adjacent to a number of existing utilities.
Temporary unsupported excavations should be conducted in accordance with the WorkSafeBC regulations forunsupported trenches. Excavations that cannot conform to the WorkSafeBC requirements for unsupportedtrenches will require either trench boxes or internally braced sheet pile shoring. Internally braced sheet pileshoring will likely be required where it is necessary for the shoring system to support existing infrastructure duringconstruction, particularly where excavations penetrate deeper fill deposits. The objective of the sheet pile designshould be to obtain maximum penetration for sheet pile toe lateral support, preventing base heave, as well asreducing groundwater volumes into the excavation.
The installation of sheet piling has the potential to cause vibrations and to result in damage and/or settlement ofexisting structures. Installation procedures and/or performance requirements will need to be considered inspecification requirements. Sheet pile shoring will likely not be possible to drive where the excavation must extendinto the weak sandstone or siltstone bedrock, particularly near the west extent of the proposed sewer alignment.However, the more competent near-surface bedrock deposits in this area may allow the use of trench boxes,provided that adequate construction dewatering is carried out.

CharacterizationPage | 12
It should be noted that the usual purpose of using steel trench shoring boxes is to protect workers duringconstruction. Trench box systems are not considered to be suitable where it is necessary to prevent movementand support existing infrastructure, which we anticipate will be the case along much of the proposed seweralignment.
5.4.4 Construction Dewatering
Based on the groundwater readings at monitoring wells installed during the subsurface investigation, groundwatermay be encountered during construction at approximately 2.5 m below grade near the east end of the seweralignment along Great Northern Way and near Glen Pump Station. Groundwater was recorded below the depthof the pipe invert at the west extent of the sewer alignment; however, this recording may not be representativeif the groundwater had not stabilized at the 15-MW4 monitoring well when the measurement was taken.Additional groundwater level measurements should be taken at the monitoring well locations if the projectproceeds to subsequent stages to assess recovery as well seasonal water level changes, which may be low giventhe long dry summer at the time of the field investigation.
For compliance with City requirements for discharge to sewer, a water treatment system will be needed to treatthe infiltrating groundwater from the dewatering operations. Based on the results from 15-MW2, water treatmentshould be expected in areas where debris and fill is encountered below the water table.
Construction dewatering requirements will vary along the length of the proposed sewer alignment dependent onground conditions, pipe invert and the form of trench support. In general, construction dewatering can likely becompleted by pumping from sumps along the alignment of the sewer. There may also be opportunity to work inthe wet where the elevation of groundwater is modest. However, excavation in the vicinity of Glen Drive mayneed to be completed using well-point dewatering as significant amounts of groundwater seepage are expectedfrom the sand fills encountered at 15-MW1. Water seepage into the construction excavations should also beanticipated from the granular trench backfill of existing utilities adjacent to the proposed sewer.
The contractor will need to develop appropriate methodology to maintain safe and suitable conditions that mightinclude limiting the length of open excavations along the alignment during construction in order to reducedewatering requirements.
Dewatering increases the effective stress on soils and may cause settlement of existing infrastructure. Furtherreview is required once project details become known.
5.4.5 Pipe Bedding and Trench Backfill
Pipe bedding requirements should comply with City specification requirements, which may vary as the subgradeand groundwater conditions change along the proposed sewer alignment. For preliminary guidance, we wouldrecommend the following:
Where exposed subgrade consists of competent native soils or sandstone / siltstone deposits, pipebedding and surround material should conform to the gradation specifications for 20mm to 2.5 mm ClearCrushed Coarse Aggregate (Pipe Bedding) contained in the City of Vancouver Street Restoration Manual.In these areas pipe bedding should extend to not less than 300 mm below the pipe invert.
Where exposed subgrade consists of soft fine-grained or organic soils, a non-woven high survivabilitygeotextile separator should be placed over the subgrade prior to placing the 20 mm to 2.5 mm ClearCrushed Coarse Aggregate pipe bedding. It may also be necessary to incorporate a layer of clear crush

gravel atop the geotextile separator if the subgrade conditions will not allow for proper compaction of thepipe bedding. The clear crush gravel would likely need to be fully wrapped within the geotextile separator.Where soft or organic subgrade is encountered, pipe bedding will likely need to extend up to 600 mmbelow pipe invert, or to competent subgrade.
Given the practical space and traffic constraints, trench backfill above the pipe zone is expected to be imported,and conform to the gradation requirements for sand fill within the City of Vancouver Street Restoration Manual,or should be well-graded pit run sand and gravel with no more than 5% passing the No. 200 sieve. While portionsof the existing materials encountered during the excavation process may be suitable for use as trench backfill, itis unlikely to be practical to consider reuse. We note that much of the existing fill soils encountered at theboreholes were silt deposits, which are considered unsuitable for use as trench backfill.
From an environmental perspective, the backfill material to be used in the trench of the proposed sanitary seweralignment must meet the applicable CSR Schedule 7 standards for relocation to non-agricultural lands and theapplicable CSR Industrial Land Use standards.
The pipe bedding and trench backfill should be uniformly compacted in horizontal lifts with vibratory equipmentto not less than 95% Modified Proctor density in accordance with City specification requirements.
5.5 ADDITIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL AND GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION
The initial geotechnical and environmental characterization that has been undertaken has identified a highlyvariable setting with the potential for different design and construction issues to be introduced over shortdistances. Levelton needs to be engaged in subsequent stages of the review to provide input on potentialimplications or consequences related to alignment or invert changes. If the Great Northern Way alignment optionfor a gravity pipe continues to detailed design, we would recommend some further characterization to assess filldistribution, and its engineering and environmental properties. The potential for settlement as well as hydraulicconductivity are important considerations.
From a geotechnical perspective, additional test holes to profile the fill thickness and depth to bedrock would beof use in design and for tender support. Geotechnical input requirements for foundation design and possibleground improvement for the pump station will depend on the location and depth of the structure and civilconsiderations related to the performance requirements of the tie-ins.

APPENDIX 1: QUALITY CONTROL DATA
R615-0685-01
5080419
The following section displays the quality control (QC) data that is associated with your sample data. Groups of samples are prepared
in �batches� and analyzed in conjunction with QC samples that ensure your data is of the highest quality. Common QC types include:
� Method Blank (Blk): Laboratory reagent water is carried through sample preparation and analysis steps. Method Blanks indicate
that results are free from contamination, i.e. not biased high from sources such as the sample container or the laboratory
environment
� Duplicate (Dup): Preparation and analysis of a replicate aliquot of a sample. Duplicates provide a measure of the analytical
method�s precision, i.e. how reproducible a result is. Duplicates are only reported if they are associated with your sample data.
� Blank Spike (BS): A known amount of standard is carried through sample preparation and analysis steps. Blank Spikes, also
known as laboratory control samples (LCS), are prepared from a different source of standard than used for the calibration. They
ensure that the calibration is acceptable (i.e. not biased high or low) and also provide a measure of the analytical method�s
accuracy (i.e. closeness of the result to a target value).
� Standard Reference Material (SRM): A material of similar matrix to the samples, externally certified for the parameter(s) listed.
Standard Reference Materials ensure that the preparation steps in the method are adequate to achieve acceptable recoveries of
the parameter(s) tested.
Each QC type is analyzed at a 5-10% frequency, i.e. one blank/duplicate/spike for every 10 samples. For all types of QC, the specified
recovery (% Rec) and relative percent difference (RPD) limits are derived from long-term method performance averages and/or
prescribed by the reference method.

APPENDIX 1: QUALITY CONTROL DATA
R615-0685-01
5080502
The following section displays the quality control (QC) data that is associated with your sample data. Groups of samples are prepared
in �batches� and analyzed in conjunction with QC samples that ensure your data is of the highest quality. Common QC types include:
� Method Blank (Blk): Laboratory reagent water is carried through sample preparation and analysis steps. Method Blanks indicate
that results are free from contamination, i.e. not biased high from sources such as the sample container or the laboratory
environment
� Duplicate (Dup): Preparation and analysis of a replicate aliquot of a sample. Duplicates provide a measure of the analytical
method�s precision, i.e. how reproducible a result is. Duplicates are only reported if they are associated with your sample data.
� Blank Spike (BS): A known amount of standard is carried through sample preparation and analysis steps. Blank Spikes, also
known as laboratory control samples (LCS), are prepared from a different source of standard than used for the calibration. They
ensure that the calibration is acceptable (i.e. not biased high or low) and also provide a measure of the analytical method�s
accuracy (i.e. closeness of the result to a target value).
� Standard Reference Material (SRM): A material of similar matrix to the samples, externally certified for the parameter(s) listed.
Standard Reference Materials ensure that the preparation steps in the method are adequate to achieve acceptable recoveries of
the parameter(s) tested.
Each QC type is analyzed at a 5-10% frequency, i.e. one blank/duplicate/spike for every 10 samples. For all types of QC, the specified
recovery (% Rec) and relative percent difference (RPD) limits are derived from long-term method performance averages and/or
prescribed by the reference method.

APPENDIX 1: QUALITY CONTROL DATA
R615-0685-01
5080503
The following section displays the quality control (QC) data that is associated with your sample data. Groups of samples are prepared
in �batches� and analyzed in conjunction with QC samples that ensure your data is of the highest quality. Common QC types include:
� Method Blank (Blk): Laboratory reagent water is carried through sample preparation and analysis steps. Method Blanks indicate
that results are free from contamination, i.e. not biased high from sources such as the sample container or the laboratory
environment
� Duplicate (Dup): Preparation and analysis of a replicate aliquot of a sample. Duplicates provide a measure of the analytical
method�s precision, i.e. how reproducible a result is. Duplicates are only reported if they are associated with your sample data.
� Blank Spike (BS): A known amount of standard is carried through sample preparation and analysis steps. Blank Spikes, also
known as laboratory control samples (LCS), are prepared from a different source of standard than used for the calibration. They
ensure that the calibration is acceptable (i.e. not biased high or low) and also provide a measure of the analytical method�s
accuracy (i.e. closeness of the result to a target value).
� Standard Reference Material (SRM): A material of similar matrix to the samples, externally certified for the parameter(s) listed.
Standard Reference Materials ensure that the preparation steps in the method are adequate to achieve acceptable recoveries of
the parameter(s) tested.
Each QC type is analyzed at a 5-10% frequency, i.e. one blank/duplicate/spike for every 10 samples. For all types of QC, the specified
recovery (% Rec) and relative percent difference (RPD) limits are derived from long-term method performance averages and/or
prescribed by the reference method.

UCtot = UCvol + UCBOD + UCTSS
2.3. The usage charge for the volume of Non‐Domestic Waste discharged is calculated using the
following formula:
UCvol = Vq x UCRvol
Where:
UCvol = usage charge for volume, in dollars ($).
Greater Vancouver Sewerage and Drainage District Sewer Use Bylaw No. 299, 2007 Consolidated Page 29 of 38
Vq = volume of non‐domestic wastewater discharged in the quarter, in cubic metres
(m3).
UCRvol = usage charge rate for volume for the sewerage area where the premises
covered by the Waste Discharge Permit are located, in dollars per cubic metre ($/m3), as
determined by the District.
2.4. The usage charge for the mass of BOD discharged is calculated using the following formula:
UCBOD = CBOD x Vq x UCRBOD
1000
Where:
UCBOD = usage charge for the mass of BOD discharged in dollars ($).
CBOD = average concentration of BOD, in milligrams per litre (mg/L).
Vq = volume of non‐domestic wastewater discharged in the quarter, in cubic metres
(m3).
UCRBOD = usage charge rate for BOD for the sewerage area where the premises covered
by the Waste Discharge Permit are located, in dollars per kilogram ($/kg), as determined
by the District.
2.5. The usage charge for the mass of TSS discharged is calculated using the following formula:
UCTSS = CTSS x Vq x UCRTSS
1000
Where:
UCTSS = usage charge for the mass of TSS discharged in dollars ($).
CTSS = average concentration of TSS, in milligrams per litre (mg/L).
Vq = volume of non‐domestic wastewater discharged in the quarter, in cubic metres
(m3).
UCRTSS = usage charge rate for TSS for the sewerage area where the premises covered by
the Waste Discharge Permit are located, in dollars per kilogram ($/kg), as determined by
the District.
Greater Vancouver Sewerage and Drainage District Sewer Use Bylaw No. 299, 2007 Consolidated Page 30 of 38
2.6. If the holder of a Waste Discharge Permit fails to keep records and provide information
required to be submitted by a Waste Discharge Permit to calculate the usage charge, then
the Sewage Control Manager may, in his or her discretion, deem the volumes of non‐
domestic wastewater, BOD, and TSS concentrations to calculate the total usage charge.
B. Capacity Charge
2.7. The total capacity charge (CCtot) is the sum of the following, calculated on an annual basis
and invoiced on a quarterly basis in four equal instalments:
(a) the capacity charge for volume (CCvol) of Non‐Domestic Waste discharged in the
previous calendar year, calculated in accordance with section 2.8; and
(b) the capacity charge for BOD (CCBOD) and TSS (CCTSS) discharged in the previous calendar
year, calculated in accordance with sections 2.9 and 2.10,
2.8. The capacity charge for volume (CCvol) is calculated using the following formula:
CCvol = VM x CCRvol
Where:
CCvol = capacity charge for volume of Non‐Domestic Waste discharged, in dollars ($).
VM = the twelve month average of the maximum daily volumes reported for each month
in the previous calendar year, in cubic metres per day (m3/d).
CCRvol = capacity charge rate for volume for the sewerage area where the premises
covered by the Waste Discharge Permit are located, in dollars per cubic metres per day
($/m3/d), as determined by the District.
2.9. The mass of BOD and TSS discharged during the sample day are calculated using the
following formulae:
MBOD = CBOD x Vs
1000
MTSS = CTSS x Vs
1000
Greater Vancouver Sewerage and Drainage District Sewer Use Bylaw No. 299, 2007 Consolidated Page 31 of 38
Where:
MBOD = mass of BOD discharged during the sample day, in kilograms per day (kg/day).
MTSS = mass of TSS discharged during the sample day, in kilograms per day (kg/day).
CBOD = concentration of BOD in the sample, in milligrams per litre (mg/L).
CTSS = concentration of TSS in the sample, in milligrams per litre (mg/L).
Vs = volume of Non‐Domestic Waste discharged during the day that the sample was
collected, in cubic metres (m3/d).
2.10. The capacity charges for BOD (CCBOD) and TSS (CCTSS) are calculated by determining the
ninetieth (90th) percentile of the daily sample masses for BOD and TSS of all samples
measured in the previous calendar year and using the following formulae:
CCBOD = M90‐BOD x CCRBOD
CCTSS = M90‐TSS x CCRTSS
Where:
CCBOD = capacity charge for BOD, in dollars ($).
CCTSS = capacity charge for TSS, in dollars ($).
M90‐BOD = the 90th percentile of the daily sample masses of BOD (MBOD) measured in the
previous calendar year, in kilograms per day (kg/d).
M90‐TSS = the 90th percentile of the daily sample masses of TSS (MTSS) measured in the
previous calendar year, in kilograms per day (kg/d).
CCRBOD = capacity charge rate for BOD for the sewerage area where the premises
covered by the Waste Discharge Permit are located, in dollars per kilogram per day
($/kg/d), as determined by the District.
CCRTSS = capacity charge rate for TSS for the sewerage area where the premises covered
by the Waste Discharge Permit are located, in dollars per kilogram per day ($/kg/d), as
determined by the District.

TERMS OF REFERENCE FOR GEOTECHNICAL REPORTS ISSUED BY LEVELTON CONSULTANTS LTD. (continued) 5. INTERPRETATION OF THE REPORT a. Nature and Exactness of Descriptions: The classification and identification of soils, rocks and
geological units, as well as engineering assessments and estimates have been based on investigations performed in accordance with the standards set out in Paragraph 1 above. The classification and identification of these items are judgmental in nature and even comprehensive sampling and testing programs, implemented with the appropriate equipment by experienced personnel, may fail to locate some conditions. All investigations or assessments utilizing the standards of Paragraph 1 involve an inherent risk that some conditions will not be detected and all documents or records summarizing such investigations will be based on assumptions of what exists between the actual points sampled. Actual conditions may vary significantly between the points investigated and all persons making use of such documents or records should be aware of, and accept, this risk. Some conditions are subject to changes over time and the parties making use of the Report should be aware of this possibility and understand that the Report only presents the conditions at the sampled points at the time of sampling. Where special concerns exist, or when the Client has special considerations or requirements, the Client must disclose them to Levelton so that additional or special investigations may be undertaken, which would not otherwise be within the scope of investigations made by Levelton or the purposes of the Report.
b. Reliance on information: The evaluation and conclusions contained in the Report have been prepared on the basis of conditions in evidence at the time of site investigation and field review and on the basis of information provided to Levelton. Levelton has relied in good faith upon representations, information and instructions provided by the Client and others concerning the site. Accordingly, Levelton cannot accept responsibility for any deficiency, misstatement or inaccuracy contained in the report as a result of misstatements, omissions, misrepresentations or fraudulent acts of persons providing information.
c. Additional Involvement by Levelton: To avoid misunderstandings, Levelton should be retained to assist other professionals to explain relevant engineering findings and to review the geotechnical aspects of the plans, drawings and specifications of other professionals relative to the engineering issues pertaining to the geotechnical consulting services provided by Levelton. To ensure compliance and consistency with the applicable building codes, legislation, regulations, guidelines and generally-accepted practices, Levelton should also be retained to provide field review services during the performance of any related work. Where applicable, it is understood that such field review services must meet or exceed the minimum necessary requirements to ascertain that the work being carried out is in general conformity with the recommendations made by Levelton. Any reduction from the level of services recommended by Levelton will result in Levelton providing qualified opinions regarding adequacy of the work.
6. ALTERNATE REPORT FORMAT When Levelton submits both electronic and hard copy versions of the Instruments of Professional Services, the Client agrees that only the signed and sealed hard copy versions shall be considered final and legally binding upon Levelton. The hard copy versions submitted by Levelton shall be the original documents for record and working purposes, and, in the event of a dispute or discrepancy, the hard copy versions shall govern over the electronic versions; furthermore, the Client agrees and waives all future right of dispute that the original hard copy signed and sealed versions of the Instruments of Professional Services maintained or retained, or both, by Levelton shall be deemed to be the overall originals for the Project. The Client agrees that the electronic file and hard copy versions of Instruments of Professional Services shall not, under any circumstances, no matter who owns or uses them, be altered by any party except Levelton. The Client warrants that the Instruments of Professional Services will be used only and exactly as submitted by Levelton. The Client recognizes and agrees that Levelton prepared and submitted electronic files using specific software or hardware systems, or both. Levelton makes no representation about the compatibility of these files with the current or future software and hardware systems of the Client, the Approved Users or any other party. The Client further agrees that Levelton is under no obligation, unless otherwise expressly specified, to provide the Client, the Approved Users and any other party, or any or all of them, with specific software and hardware systems that are compatible with any electronic submitted by Levelton. The Client further agrees that should the Client, an Approved User or a third party require Levelton to provide specific software or hardware systems, or both, compatible with the electronic files prepared and submitted by Levelton, for any reason whatsoever included but not restricted to an order from a court, then the Client will pay Levelton for all reasonable costs related to the provision of the specific software or hardware systems, or both. The Client further agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Levelton, its officers, directors, employees, agents, representative or sub-consultant, or any or all of them, against any claim or any nature whatsoever brought against Levelton, whether in contract or in tort, arising or related to the provision or use or any specific software or hardware provided by Levelton.
