1 INTRODUCTION WSP Canada Inc. (WSP) was retained by Oakville Green Developments Inc. to prepare a D-6 Compatibility Assessment for the property located at the northeast corner of Dundas Street West and Third Line in Oakville, Ontario (the ‘Site’). The total site area of the proposed development is approximately 13.4 ha. (33 ac.). The proposed development will consist of a 15 storey senior living building and 15 storey medical center (2.45 ac.), a 15 storey hotel and conference center (1.15 ac.), and a 15 storey employment use building (4.06 ac.) with the remainder of the a 13.4 ha. consisting of open space.

The purpose of the study is to complete an Air Quality, Dust, Noise, and Odour (Nuisance) Assessment of the surrounding area uses on the proposed development. This study will focus specifically on surrounding land use impacts on the proposed senior living building. The study was conducted in accordance with the “Compatibility between Industrial Facilities and Sensitive Land Uses”, published by the Ontario Ministry of Environment, Conservation, and Parks (MECP) as Guideline D-6 (the ‘D-6 Guideline’).

This report describes the surrounding industrial and commercial facilities, specifically addressing the neighbouring businesses and industries within close proximity of the development site as having the highest potential to cause a nuisance. Other surrounding facilities have been evaluated as part of this investigation and are outlined in this report. The assessment was based on readily available information (i.e., facility websites, environmental registry, aerial photography, etc.).

The objective of the D-6 Guideline is to prevent or minimize the encroachment of sensitive land use upon industrial land use and vice versa. These two land uses are normally incompatible due to possible adverse effects on sensitive land uses created by industrial operations. The D-6 Guideline categorizes industrial facilities into three classes according to their size, volume of operations, and nature of their emissions and defines what a sensitive land use is. The D-6 Guideline provides definitions and examples to illustrate the three Industrial Classes, provided in Appendix A. Facilities that do not meet the definition of any one of the three Industrial Classes have little to no potential for creating nuisance issues that would give rise to complaints. For the purpose of this study, these facilities have been identified as Class 0. The definitions and examples in the D-6 Guideline relevant to air quality concerns were used to characterize the nearby facilities. The D-6 Guideline defines a recommended minimum separation distance and potential influence area between industrial facilities and sensitive land uses for each class, presented in Table 1-1.

Table 1-1 Guideline D-6 Recommended Minimum Seperation Distance and Potential Influence Areas for Industrial Land Uses

INDUSTRIAL CLASSIFICATION

RECOMMENDED MINIMUM SEPERATION DISTANCE (m) POTENTIAL INFLUENCE AREA (m)

Class I – Light Industrial 20 70

Class II – Medium Industrial 70 300

Class III – Heavy Industrial 300 1 000

2 IDENTIFYING FACILITIES WITH NUISANCE POTENTIAL

The Site is located at the northeast corner of Dundas Street West and Third Line in Oakville, Ontario. The zoning for the area of the development site is designated as existing development, and the area surrounding the proposed development is mixed use; including residential, institutional, light employment, community use, and commercial developments. The proposed development will consist of a senior living building and medical center on the west side of the Site. A hotel and conference center is proposed to be located southeast of the medical center. An employment use building is proposed to be located north of the senior living building and medical center. A zoning map and conceptual site plan are shown as Figure 1 and Figure 2, respectively.

After reviewing maps and aerial imagery of the area, a list of possible commercial and industrial facilities that could impact the proposed senior living building was generated. These facilities were divided into four categories:

— Class 0 facilities determined to be of no concern on the development, and consisting of minor operations;

— Class I facilities determined to be of limited concern on the development;

— Class II facilities determined to have a potential adverse impact on the development; and,

— Class III facilities determined to have a potential adverse impact on the development

Table B-1 in Appendix B provides the name and address of each of the identified limited concern facilities which have a dust, noise, or odour nuisance potential for the development. Figure 3 outlines the location and identification of the facilities evaluated as part of this investigation.

2.1 LIMITED CONCERN FACILITIES

Facilities reviewed in this D-6 Compatibility Assessment were categorized as either facilities of no concern, facilities of limited concern, or facilities of potential concern with respect to the Site and the surrounding environment. Facilities of no concern or limited concern include restaurants, commercial shopping centres, recreation centres, medical facilities, and institutional facilities located outside the minimum separation distance and potential area of influence.

2.1.1 RESTAURANTS

There are 13 restaurants located in the area around the Site. Nine restaurants are in the commercial shopping centre at 2501 Third Line to the southeast of the Site including House of Wings, Pizza Nova, Bamboo Legend, Cobs Bread, Starbucks, Halton Dragon Chinese, Boardwalk Cheesecakes, Quik Chik, and Chef’s Door. One restaurant, Little Caesars Pizza, is in the commercial shopping centre at 2534 Third Line to the south-southeast of the Site. Two restaurants, Subway and Senhor Frango, are in the commercial shopping centre at 2530 Third Line to the south-southeast of the Site. One restaurant, Peppino’s Oven, is in the commercial shopping centre at 2015 Kingsridge Drive to the southeast of the Site.

Restaurants have been identified as Class I facilities for the purpose of this study as they have the potential to emit odours and noise from exhaust fans. Odour emissions have the potential to lead to air quality and odour complaints. All restaurants identified in this study are located outside the minimum recommended separation distance and the potential area of influence; therefore, have a limited potential to adversely impact the proposed Site.

2.2 POTENTIAL FACILITIES OF CONCERN

Facilities reviewed in this D-6 Compatibility Assessment were categorized as either facilities of limited concern or facilities of potential concern with respect to the Site and surrounding environment. Facilities of potential concern are within the minimum separation distance or potential area of influence. One facility of potential concern was identified in this study. An existing storm water pond located on the property was also assessed as part of this study.

2.2.1 OAKVILLE TRAFALGAR MEMORIAL HOSPITAL

Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital (the ‘Hospital’) is a hospital serving Halton Region. The facility is located at 3001 Hospital Gate, approximately 38 m south and south-southwest of the Site. Based on operations, the facility has been identified as Class II with respect to air and noise. The facility operates under an ECA for five exhaust systems serving five fume hoods, six standby generators, three natural gas with fuel oil backup fired steam boilers, three natural gas with fuel oil backup fired hot water boilers, and four cooling towers. The ECA also includes an acoustic assessment report completed by Valcoustics Canada Ltd. in November 2012. A copy of the facility’s ECA can be found in Appendix C. The facility is located within the recommended minimum separation distance and potential area of influence and as a result has the potential to adversely impact the proposed development.

2.2.2 STORMWATER MANAGEMENT POND

An existing stormwater management (SWM) pond owned by the Town of Oakville is located on the property. The storm water pond is located approximately 50 m east of the Site. Although not classified as a facility, the storm water pond has potential to emit odour and adversely impact the Site.

3 EVALUATION OF SURROUNDING LAND USES

Industrial facilities and sensitive land uses are typically incompatible due to possible adverse effects on sensitive land uses created by industrial operations. In order to prevent or minimize the encroachment of sensitive land uses onto industrial operations, or vice-versa, the D-6 Guideline categorizes industrial facilities into three classes according to their size, volume of operations, and nature of their emissions and defines what a sensitive land use is.

The guideline outlines a recommended minimum separation distance and potential influence area between industrial facilities and sensitive land uses for each class as shown previously in Table 1-1. The minimum separation distance is the distance (property line to property line) between the incompatible development and the sensitive land use, wherein industry has the potential to cause an adverse effect. The potential area of influence is a greater distance in which the industrial operations may have the potential to cause an adverse effect, depending on onsite operations and meteorological conditions. Additionally, the facilities that are outside of their respective recommended minimum separation distance and potential area of influence are expected to have no potential for creating nuisance issues that would give rise to complaints.

In this assessment facilities of potential concern were analysed based on the site specific meteorological data, any pertinent Environmental Activity and Sector Registry (EASR) or ECA, field measurements, and/or site observations.

According to Table 3-3, any potential impacts from the existing SWM pond may be transported to the Site ~29.7 % of the time or 108 equivalent days per year. Due to the location of the SWM pond with respect to the Site, the pond may have potential to adversely impact the proposed development.

3.2 IDENTIFICATION OF NUISANCE

Two locations of concern have been identified in the area surrounding the Site; Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital and an existing SWM pond. The Hospital is located approximately 38 m south through south-southwest of the Site. The existing SWM pond is located approximately 50 m east of the Site. The Hospital has the potential to adversely impact air and noise at the proposed development. The Hospital operates under an ECA for air and noise; however, this ECA would have accounted for points of impingement at ground level (not elevated) and odour and noise impacts at the nearest existing sensitive or residential receptor. Therefore, the potential air and noise impacts at the Site are not known.

In order to identify potential air and noise impacts from the Hospital and existing SWM pond, WSP conducted a site investigation on November 15, 2018. WSP collected upwind and downwind odour measurements around the Hospital and SWM pond. Measurement locations were determined based on prevailing wind direction at the time of the site visit. Downwind measurements were compared to upwind measurements to identify any odours that may impact the Site. During the site visit, WSP also collected noise measurements to determine background noise levels at the Site. One measurement was collected approximately 450 m southwest of the Hospital and one measurement was collected at the approximate southwest property line of the Site. Measurement locations for odour and noise are shown in Figure 5. All samples were taken at ground level.

3.2.1 ODOUR ASSESSMENT

An odour assessment at the Site was completed on November 15, 2018. Odour measurements were completed using a St. Croix Sensory Nasal Ranger® field olfactometer. Field equipment was properly calibrated prior to field use in order to ensure data validity, per the manufacturer’s instructions. The Nasal Ranger® is able to confidently measure and quantify odour strength via Dilution-to-Threshold (D/T) in ambient air. The instrument was operated by a technician screened for odour sensitivity.

Odour measurements on site were reported in D/T, which is a measure of the number of dilutions needed to make the odourous ambient air “non-detectable” by the WSP technician. The D/T is a unit of measure of odour concentration, 1 D/T represents the concentration of odour equivalent to 1 OU (odour unit) achieved from an odour panel, at which 50 % of the general population can detect the odour.

The hedonic tone of any detected odour was also noted. Hedonic tone is a subjective test which represents how pleasant or unpleasant an odour is. It ranges from +10 to -10, where a positive value represents pleasant odours and a negative value represents unpleasant odours. Where an odour was detected, the WSP technician also attempted to characterize the odour to investigate possible sources.

WSP technicians are appropriately screened and meet the selection criteria outlined in the EN 13725:2003 standard. WSP technicians re-calibrate with an odour sensitivity kit every six months.

Triplicate odour measurements were collected at eight locations around the Hospital and SWM pond. Table 3-4 summarizes the odour D/T results measured. Table 3-5 summarizes the average upwind and downwind odour measurements around the locations of concern. A detailed table of odour measurements is shown in Appendix D.

3.2.2 NOISE ASSESSMENT

The senior living building is expected to be designed to include inoperable windows and air conditioning. Balconies and outdoor living areas are not expected to be part of the senior living building design. Inoperable windows used in the building design will require enhanced window design and acoustical assessment to ensure that the indoor acoustical environment is suitable; this study would be conducted as part of the detailed design of the building. The Hospital will need to be assured that inoperable windows will be permanent at the senior living building for the duration of the Hospital’s operations. The noise assessment, to be completed at detailed building design, will ensure that the ability of the stationary source (Hospital) to maintain compliance with MECP requirements and obtain MECP approvals is not to be compromised by the presence of the senior living building.

4 SUMMARY OF POTENTIAL IMPACTS

4.1 LIMITED CONCERN FACILITIES

The facilities identified to have limited concern are anticipated to have limited impact on the proposed development. There are 13 restaurants listed in Section 2.1.1 identified as Class I facilities located within 1 000 m of the Site. All of these restaurant facilities are located outside the recommended minimum separation distance and potential area of influence; therefore, are not expected to have an adverse impact on the Site.

A total of 23 commercial facilities were identified in Section 2.1.2 of this report. These facilities have been identified as Class 0 or Class I facilities and include banks, grocery store, hair and nail salons, pharmacies, dry cleaner, gas station, and gift shop. These facilities are all located outside the recommended minimum separation distance and potential are of influence; therefore, are not expected to have an adverse impact on the Site.

WSPNovember 2018

A total of 14 institutional facilities were identified in Section 2.1.3 of this report. These facilities have been identified as Class I facilities and include health care centres, schools, and a nursing home. These facilities are all located outside the recommended minimum separation distance and potential area of influence; therefore, are not expected to have an adverse impact on the Site.

Facilities identified as ‘Other’ in Section 2.1.4 of this report included 3 facilities within 1 000 m of the Site; these include a home sales office, recreation centre, and a long-term work site trailer. These facilities are all located outside the recommended minimum separation distance and potential are of influence; therefore, are not expected to have an adverse impact on the Site.

4.2 POTENTIAL FACILITIES OF CONCERN

One facility, the Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital, and an existing SWM pond were studied to determine their potential impact to the Site. The Hospital is located approximately 38 m south through south-southwest of the Site while the SWM pond is located approximately 50 m east. The Hospital was identified as having the potential to impact air and noise while the SWM pond was identified as having the potential to have an odour impact at the Site. Although the Hospital operates under an existing ECA, the Site would represent a “new elevated receptor” in terms of air quality, odour, and noise. WSP completed a site visit to observe any potential air, odour, or noise nuisance at ground level. Based on the preliminary odour assessment, the Hospital and storm water pond have been identified as having a negligible impact, based on the measurement detection limit of the Nasal Ranger, on the Site at ground level. The variability of operations at the Hospital and the SWM pond load would change daily/seasonally, so a through examination of the impacts has not been assessed. The noise study to be completed as part of the detailed building design will ensure that the Site will not impact the Hospital’s ability to operate.

5 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Based on the surrounding facilities the following conclusions and recommendations are outlined below:

— As outlined in Section 2.1, restaurants, commercial retail facilities, institutional facilities, and other facilities located outside the recommended minimum separation distance and potential zone of influence were identified as facilities of limited concern.

— Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital was identified as a facility of concern for air quality and noise impacts as the facility did not meet the recommended minimum separation distance.

— An existing SWM pond located east of the property was identified as a concern due to the potential to have an odour impact at the Site.

— A preliminary odour assessment determined that, at this time and based on the measurement detection limit of the Nasal Ranger, the Hospital and SWM pond are not expected to impact the Site for odour at ground level.

— Inoperable windows used in the building design will require enhanced window design and acoustical assessment to ensure that the indoor acoustical environment is suitable. The Hospital will need to be assured that inoperable windows will be permanent at the senior living building for the duration of the Hospital’s operations. A noise study, conducted as part of the detailed design when building placement, orientation, and construction materials is known, will need to be conducted to ensure the ability of the stationary source (Hospital) to maintain compliance with MECP requirements and obtain MECP approvals is not compromised by the Site.

— If design plans for the senior living building change to exclude inoperable windows, a detailed noise study should be completed to include the Hospital as a potential noise source.
