EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Houle Chevrier Engineering Ltd. (HCEL) was retained by Sarah Fulford to conduct a Limited

Phase II Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) for the property at 90 Guigues Avenue in

Ottawa, Ontario.

The objectives of the limited Phase II ESA were based on a previous Phase I ESA and

geotechnical report prepared by HCEL in 2010 and are as follows:

Assess the soil on the site for potential contamination from the fill material; and,

Assess the groundwater on the site for potential contamination.

The field investigation consisted of advancing two (2) test pits, and sampling from an existing

monitoring well. Groundwater samples were not obtained due to insufficient water in the

monitoring well. Soil samples were collected from the test pits and submitted to Paracel

Laboratories Ltd. of Ottawa, Ontario for laboratory analysis. The results of the Phase II ESA are

summarized below:

Data collected during the borehole drilling indicate that the site is generally underlain by a surficial layer of granular material, followed by fill material consisting of dark brown sandy silt with some gravel and cobbles, and ash, concrete pieces and ceramic pieces. Glacial till was encountered below the fill material in test pit 13-1. Test pit 13-1 was terminated on bedrock at a depth of approximately 1.6 m bgs.

The MOE site condition standards selected for this site are the MOE Table 7 Generic Site Condition Standards for Shallow Coarse Grained Soils in a Non-Potable Ground Water Condition and Residential Property Use as outlined in the MOE, Soil, Groundwater and Sediment Standards for use under Part XV.1 of the Environmental Protection Act (MOE, April 15, 2011).

The analytical results of the soil samples submitted from the test pits exceed the MOE Table 7 site condition standards for one or more parameters tested. The soil sample submitted from TP13-1 exceeds the site condition standards for sodium absorption ratio, conductivity, barium and lead. The soil sample submitted from TP13-2 exceeds the site condition standards for mercury, lead, acenapthylene, benzo(a)anthracene, benzo(a)pyrene, benzo(b)fluoranthene, debenzo(a,h)anthracene, fluoranthene and indeno(1,2,3-cd)pyrene.

Based on the results of the current investigation, some or all of the fill material on the site does

not meet MOE Table 7 requirements. As part of the development, the existing fill material

should be removed and disposed of at a licensed landfill. Delineation of soil exceeding the site

condition standards could be performed in order to determine the amount of material required to

be disposed of at a licensed landfill facility.

At the time of the investigation, groundwater conditions could not be assessed due to

insufficient groundwater. Based on the chemical testing during the previous geotechnical

investigation, there is potential for contaminants in the groundwater.

1.0 INTRODUCTION

Houle Chevrier Engineering Ltd. (HCEL) was retained by Sarah Fulford to conduct a Limited

Phase II Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) for the property at 90 Guigues Avenue, Ottawa,

Ontario (hereafter referred as “the site”). This report documents the methodology and results of

the Phase II ESA conducted at the site.

1.1 Site Description and Background

The site is owned by Sarah Fulford and is located on the south side of Guigues Avenue,

approximately 50 metres east of the intersection of Parent Street and Guigues Avenue (refer to

Key Plan, Figure 1). The site has a total area of approximately 0.16 hectares and is partially

occupied by a multi-storey apartment building located along the western property boundary.

The remainder of the site is occupied by a parking area and grassed/landscaped area.

Surrounding land use is residential.

A Phase I ESA and a geotechnical investigation were previously conducted for the site by

HCEL. The results of the Phase I ESA were provided in our report titled: “Phase I

Environmental Site Assessment, 90 Guigues Avenue, Ottawa, Ontario” dated January 2010.

The results of the geotechnical investigation were provided in our report titled: “Geotechnical

Investigation, Proposed Residential Development, 90 Guigues Avenue, Ottawa, Ontario” dated

February 2010. A review of the reports identified the following environmental issues:

Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) sampling completed in the geotechnical investigation

The concentration of benzene in the groundwater sample taken on January 11, 2010 exceeds the current applicable MOE Table 7 site condition standard (0.7 µg/L versus standard of 0.5 µg/L).

The concentration of chloroform in the groundwater sample exceeds the current applicable MOE Table 7 site condition standard (13.4 µg/L versus standard of 2 µg/L).

Fill material identified in the geotechnical investigation

The amended Ontario Regulation 153/04 identifies fill material as a potentially contaminating activity that requires investigation if located on the subject property. The geotechnical investigation by HCEL in August 2012 indicates that fill materials exists on the site.

Report to: July 2013 Sarah Fulford - 2 - Our Ref: 13-186

Houle Chevrier Engineering Ltd.

1.2 Objectives and Scope of Work

The objectives of the Phase II ESA are listed below:

Assess the soil on the site for potential contamination from the fill material; and,

Assess the groundwater on the site for potential contamination.

To address these objectives, HCEL proposed a work program that includes:

Advancing two (2) test pits at two (2) locations using a rubber tire backhoe;

Collecting soil samples recovered from the test pits;

Collecting groundwater samples from the monitoring well; and,

Submitting soil and groundwater samples to Paracel Laboratories Ltd., an acreditted analytical laboratory in Ottawa, Ontario, for laboratory analyses of selected chemical parameters.

Prior to the field investigation, the public and private underground utilities were located and the

test pit locations were cleared by Safe to Dig, a private services locating contractor based in

Ottawa, Ontario. The locations of the test pits are shown on the Site Plan, Figure 2.

2.0 SITE INVESTIGATION METHODOLOGY

2.1 Test Pits and Soil Sampling

Two (2) test pits (13-1 and 13-2) were advanced on June 19, 2013, at the locations shown on

Figure 2. The test pits were advanced using a rubber tire backhoe supplies by Ken White

Construction 2000 Ltd. of Ottawa, Ontario. The test pits were advanced to a maximum depth of

1.6 metres below ground surface (m bgs).

Soil samples were recovered from the fill material on the sidewalls of the test pits. The soil

samples were collected following the Guidance on Sampling and Analytical Methods for Use at

Contaminated Sites in Ontario (the MOE, 1996). Clean gloves were worn and changed

between each sample. The soil samples were inspected in the field for visual and tactile

evidence of impact. Headspace combustible gas concentrations were measured in the field

using a portable combustible gas detector manufactured by RKI Instruments (Eagle series)

calibrated to a known hexane gas standard and operated in methane elimination mode. The

headspace combustible gas concentration readings for the soil samples are provided on the

Record of Test Pit sheets in Appendix A.

One (1) soil sample from each test pit and a duplicate soil sample from test pit 13-1 were

submitted to Paracel Laboratories Ltd. for chemical analyses of selected parameters. Soil

samples were selected based on the presence of fill material, combustible headspace gas

readings and visual and tactile evidence of impact. The soil samples submitted and the

selected parameters analysed are summarized in the following table:

Additional details on the soil samples recovered can be found in the Record of Test Pit sheets

provided in Appendix A.

2.2 Groundwater Monitoring and Sampling

The static groundwater level was measured in the monitoring well installed in borehole BH1

during the geotechnical investigation by HCEL in 2010. The static ground water level was

measured at 3.8 m bgs on June 19, 2013 using a Heron Instruments oil/water interface meter.

No groundwater sample was obtained on June 19, 2013 due to insufficient water present in the

monitoring well as the well immediately went dry when purging and no recovery was observed

within two (2) hours of monitoring the groundwater level.

3.0 RESULTS OF THE INVESTIGATION

3.1 Site Geology

The subsurface conditions identified in test pits TP13-1 and TP13-2 are given on the Record of

Test Pit sheets in Appendix A following the text of this report. The Record of Test Pit sheets

indicate the subsurface conditions at the specific test locations only. Boundaries between

zones on the logs are often not distinct, but rather are transitional and have been interpreted.

The precision with which subsurface conditions are indicated depends on the method of

excavation, the frequency and recovery of samples, the method of sampling, and the uniformity

of the subsurface conditions. Subsurface conditions at other than the test locations may vary

from the conditions encountered in the test pits. In addition to soil variability, fill material of

variable physical and chemical composition can be present over portions of the site or on

adjacent properties.

The soil descriptions in this report are based on commonly accepted methods of classification

and identification employed in geotechnical practice. Classification and identification of soil

involves judgement and HCEL does not guarantee descriptions as exact, but infers accuracy to

the extent that is common in current practice.

The following presents a simplified overview of the subsurface conditions encountered in the

test pits advanced during this investigation. It should be noted that bones were found during the

advancement of test pit 13-2. Photographs were sent to Dr. Martha Fulford by the owner Sarah

Fulford. A letter by Dr. Martha Fulford indicating that the bones in the photographs were

determined to be animal bones is provided in Appendix C.

Asphaltic Concrete / Granular Material Test pits 13-1 and 13-2 encountered granular material from ground surface with a thickness of

approximately 0.1 metres. Test pit 13-2 encountered a 0.1 metre thick asphaltic concrete layer

below the granular material.

Fill Material Fill material was encountered below the granular / asphaltic concrete layer in test pits 13-1 and

13-2. The thickness of the fill material in test pit 13-1 is approximately 0.9 metres. The extent of

the fill material in test pit 13-2 was not determined due to the presence of bones in the test pit

Page 11: REPORT ON LIMITED PHASE II ENVIRONMENTAL SITE …

Report to: July 2013 Sarah Fulford - 6 - Our Ref: 13-186

Houle Chevrier Engineering Ltd.

which halted the advancement. The fill material is composed of dark brown silty sand with some

gravel and cobbles. The fill material also contained ash, concrete pieces and ceramic pieces.

Glacial Till A deposit of glacial till was encountered in test pit 13-1 beneath the fill material. The glacial till is

composed of grey brown silty sand and gravel with trace clay. Cobbles and boulders should also

be expected in the glacial till, but were not observed in the test pit.

Bedrock Test pit 13-1 was terminated on bedrock at a depth of 1.6 m bgs.

Detailed descriptions of the soil conditions can be found on the Record of Test Pit sheets in

Appendix A

3.2 Site Restoration Standards

Site restoration standards were selected for this site in accordance with the requirements of

Ontario Regulation 153/04, Records of Site Condition – Part XV.1 of The Environmental

Protection Act (O. Reg. 153/04, MOE, October 31, 2011).

The following information was considered in selecting the site condition standards:

The site and neighbouring properties are serviced by the City of Ottawa’s municipal drinking water system;

The site is considered residential property since the site is currently occupied by a multi- residential building and the surrounding land use is also residential;

The overburden thickness encountered during borehole drilling was less than 2 metres.

The pH of the soil samples, as shown in Table 1, is between 5 and 9, and therefore the site is not considered an environmentally sensitive area as defined by O. Reg. 153/04 s. 41(1).

A grain size analysis performed an a sample of the glacial till was determined to have greater than 50 percent of particles larger than 75 µm in diameter and therefore is considered a coarse textured site. The results of the grain size analysis are provided on Figure 3.

Page 12: REPORT ON LIMITED PHASE II ENVIRONMENTAL SITE …

Report to: July 2013 Sarah Fulford - 7 - Our Ref: 13-186

Houle Chevrier Engineering Ltd.

Based on the above information, the current MOE Table 7 Generic Site Condition Standards for

Shallow Coarse Grained Soils in a Non-Potable Ground Water Condition and Residential

Property Use as outlined in the MOE, Soil, Groundwater and Sediment Standards for use under

Part XV.1 of the Environmental Protection Act (MOE, April 15, 2011) was selected for this site.

3.3 Soil Sample Results

Analytical results for the soil samples submitted for analysis from test pits 13-1, 13-2, and the

selected MOE site condition standards are presented on Tables 2 to 5. The laboratory

Certificates of Analysis for soil samples are provided in Appendix B.

The analytical results of the laboratory testing exceed the site condition standards of one or

more parameters for both soil samples. The exceedances are summarized in the following

tables:

TP13-1 SA2

Parameter Laboratory Result (µg/g) Site Condition Standard (µg/g)

Barium 979 390

Lead 184 120

Sodium Absorption Ratio 7.71 (unitless) 5 (unitless)

Conductivity 1990 (µS/cm) 700 (µS/cm)

TP 13-2 SA1

Parameter Laboratory Result (µg/g) Site Condition Standard (µg/g)

Mercury 1.4 0.27

Lead 317 120

Acenaphthylene 0.18 0.15

Benzo(a)anthracene 0.89 0.5

Benzo(a)pyrene 1.09 0.3

Benzo(b)fluoranthene 1.54 0.78

Dibenzo(a,h)anthracene 0.18 0.1

Fluoranthene 1.37 0.69

Indeno(1,2,3-cd)pyrene 0.83 0.38

3.4 Quality Assurance/Quality Control

A quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) program was implemented to minimize and

quantify impacts introduced during sample collection, handling, shipping and analysis. As part

of the QA/QC program, sampling protocols included: submitting duplicate samples, minimizing

sample handling, using dedicated non-contaminated sampling equipment, using sample specific

identification and labelling procedures and using chain of custody records.

Page 13: REPORT ON LIMITED PHASE II ENVIRONMENTAL SITE …

Report to: July 2013 Sarah Fulford - 8 - Our Ref: 13-186

Houle Chevrier Engineering Ltd.

Laboratory QA/QC results are included with the laboratory Certificates of Analysis provided in

Appendix B. Sample holding times were met. All laboratory quality control blanks, duplicates

and spikes met applicable industry criteria with the exception of the quality control duplicate for

fluoranthene, which was high; however, the sample result is less than ten times the method

detection limit. The reporting limit for free cyanide for the sample TP13-2 SA1 and the duplicate

sample were elevated due to matrix interference.

There are large differences between the original sample TP13-1 SA2 and the duplicate for a

number of parameters including lead and barium which exceed the MOE site condition

standards in sample TP13-1 SA2 but do not in the duplicate sample. The large differences in

the sample results could be due to the heterogeneous nature of the fill material that was

encountered on site.

Based on the measures discussed above, sample collection and handling protocols are

considered acceptable.

4.0 SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Houle Chevrier Engineering Ltd. (HCEL) was retained by Sarah Fulford to conduct a Limited

Phase II Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) for the property at 90 Guigues Avenue, Ottawa,

Ontario.

The objectives of the limited Phase II ESA were based on a previous Phase I ESA and

geotechnical report prepared by HCEL in 2010 and are as follows:

Assess the soil on the site for potential contamination from the fill material; and,

Assess the groundwater on the site for potential contamination.

The field investigation consisted of advancing two (2) test pits, and sampling from an existing

monitoring well. Groundwater samples were not obtained due to insufficient water in the

monitoring well. Soil samples were collected from the test pits and submitted to Paracel

Laboratories Ltd. of Ottawa, Ontario for laboratory analysis. The results of the Phase II ESA are

summarized below.

The data collected during the borehole drilling indicate that the site is generally underlain by a

surficial layer of granular material, followed by fill material consisting of dark brown sandy silt

with some gravel and cobbles, and ash, concrete pieces and ceramic pieces. Glacial till was

encountered below the fill material in test pit 13-1. Test pit 13-1 was terminated on bedrock at a

depth of approximately 1.6 m bgs.

The MOE site condition standards selected for this site are the MOE Table 7 Generic Site

Condition Standards for Shallow Coarse Grained Soils in a Non-Potable Ground Water

Condition and Residential Property Use as outlined in the MOE, Soil, Groundwater and

Sediment Standards for use under Part XV.1 of the Environmental Protection Act (MOE, April

15, 2011).

The analytical results of the soil samples submitted from the soil samples submitted from the

test pits exceed the MOE Table 7 site condition standards for one or more parameters tested.

The soil sample submitted from TP13-1 exceeds the site condition standards for sodium

absorption ratio, conductivity, barium and lead. The soil sample submitted from TP13-2

exceeds the site condition standards for mercury, lead, acenaphthylene, benzo(a)anthracene,

Page 15: REPORT ON LIMITED PHASE II ENVIRONMENTAL SITE …

Report to: July 2013 Sarah Fulford - 10 - Our Ref: 13-186

Houle Chevrier Engineering Ltd.

benzo(a)pyrene, benzo(b)fluoranthene, dibenzo(a,h)anthracene, fluoranthene and indeno(1,2,3-

cd)pyrene.

Based on the results of the current investigation, some or all of the fill material on the site does

not meet MOE Table 7 requirements. As part of the development, the existing fill material

should be removed and disposed of at a licensed landfill. Delineation of soil exceeding the site

condition standards could be performed in order to determine the amount of material required to

be disposed of at a licensed landfill facility.

At the time of the investigation, groundwater conditions could not be assessed due to

insufficient groundwater. Based on the chemical testing during the previous geotechnical

investigation, there is potential for contaminants in the groundwater.

Soil results are reported on a dry weight basis when the units are denoted with 'dry'.Where %Solids is reported, moisture loss includes the loss of volatile hydrocarbons.

CCME PHC additional information:

- The method for the analysis of PHCs complies with the Reference Method for the CWS PHC and is validated for use in the laboratory. All prescribed quality criteria identified in the method has been met.

- F1 range corrected for BTEX.- F2 to F3 ranges corrected for appropriate PAHs where available.

- In the case where F4 and F4G are both reported, the greater of the two results is to be used for comparison to CWS PHC criteria.- The gravimetric heavy hydrocarbons (F4G) are not to be added to C6 to C50 hydrocarbons.

Sarah Fulford 90 Guigues Avenue Ottawa, Ontario K1N 5H7 June 20, 2013 Dear Sarah:

Re: Bones found at 90 Guigues Avenue After reviewing the two photographs you sent, I would determine that the bones are animal bones. The appearance is not consistent with human bones. The one feature that particularly suggests animal bones is the bifid condyle. I showed the two photographs to orthopedic surgeon colleagues of mine (Drs. Mah and Burrow) who concurred that the bones in the photographs are animal bones. Regards,

Martha Fulford
