EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Assessment
Phase I - Environmental Site Assessment
The purpose of the Phase I-ESA was to research the past and current uses of the subject
property and neighbouring sites to identify environmental concerns with the potential to impact
the subject site.
Based on the site observations, potential environmental concerns were identified with the
presence of fill material on the subject property and with a gasoline service station to the west
of the site. A subsurface investigation was recommended and conducted to address the
above noted concern.
Subsurface Investigation
A subsurface investigation was conducted for the subject site to investigate the quality of the
fill material present on the subject property and to determine if the site had been impacted by
the gasoline service station to the west of Boundary Road.
Visual and/or olfactory observations did not indicate the presence of contamination or
deleterious fill material in any of the soil samples from the test pits. The Gastech vapour
readings were found to range from 0 to 15 ppm. These readings are considered to be
representative of background conditions.
Soil
Five (5) soil samples were submitted for petroleum hydrocarbon (PHCs), benzene, toluene,
ethylbenzene and xylenes (BTEX) or metals analysis. All of the test results are in compliance
with the selected MOE Table 2 standards. The analytical test results also meet the impending
2009 MOE Standards.
Conclusion
The intent of the subsurface investigation has been to determine whether the subject site has
been significantly impacted by the presence of fill material on the subject property or by the
gasoline service station to the west of Boundary Road, further west of the site. Based on our
field observations and analytical test results, in our opinion, the subject property has not been
significantly impacted. In our opinion, no further investigation is required at this time.

5.0 FINDINGS OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
5.1 Historical Review
Air Photo Research
Historical air photos, from the national air photo library, were reviewed for the subject
property and adjacent sites. A summary of our findings is presented below.
1945 The subject site and neighbouring properties appear to be vacant or used
for agricultural purposes. Several farmsteads are present further to the
south and west of the site. Boundary Road is present to the west of the
site.
1969 No significant changes have been made to the subject site or
neighbouring properties.
1975 Highway 417 has been constructed to the north of the site. No other
significant changes have been made to the subject site or neighbouring
properties.
1986 No significant changes were made to the subject site or use of the
neighbouring properties. The northern portion of the subject site and the
adjacent land to the north are not covered in this aerial photograph.
1993 Some soil disturbance appears to have occurred on the west portion of
the site. The present day gasoline service station appears to be present
to the west of Boundary Road, further west of the site. What appears to
be the present day equipment rental yard is present further south of the
site. No other significant changes were made to the subject site or use
of the neighbouring properties.
2002 (City of Ottawa website) Further soil disturbance (suspected excavation)
appears to have occurred on the west portion of the subject site. What
appears to be a radio tower is present near the centre of the site. An
access roadway has been constructed from Boundary Road to the radio
tower on the south portion of the site. No other significant changes were
made to the subject site or use of the neighbouring properties.

2005 (City of Ottawa website) Further excavation appears to have occurred on
the west portion of the subject site. No other significant changes were
made to the subject site or use of the neighbouring properties.
2008 (City of Ottawa website) Some filling of the excavated area on the west
portion of the site appears to have occurred. The present day auto body
shop appears to be present near the southwest portion of the site. No
other significant changes were made to the subject site or use of the
adjacent properties to the north, east and west.
Laser copies of some of the aerial photographs reviewed are included in Appendix 2.
National Archives
City directories and fire insurance plans (FIPs) are not available for the area of the
subject property.
Natural Resources Canada (NRCAN)
The Geological Survey of Canada website on the Urban Geology of the National
Capital Area was consulted as part of this assessment. Based on the information from
NRCAN, bedrock in the area of the site consists of shale of the Carlsbad Formation.
Based on the maps, the thickness of overburden ranges from 15 to 50 m and consists
of deltaic and estuarian Deposits of nearshore marine sediments on the northern
portion of the site and marine deposits of clay and silt of offshore marine sediments on
the southern portion of the property.
PCB Inventory
A search of national PCB waste storage sites was conducted. No PCB waste storage
sites are located in the immediate vicinity of the subject property.
Ontario Ministry of Environment (MOE)
The Ontario Ministry of Environment document entitled “Waste Disposal Site Inventory
in Ontario, 1991" was reviewed as part of the historical research. This document
includes all recorded active and closed waste disposal sites, industrial manufactured
gas plants, and coal tar distillation plants in the Province of Ontario. No active or
closed waste disposal sites or any of the other listed sites were identified in the vicinity
of the subject site.

Report: PE2098-1September 27, 2010 Page 7
A search of the MOE Brownfields environmental site registry was conducted
electronically on August 31, 2010. No record of site conditions (RSC) were listed in the
data base for properties in the vicinity of the subject site.
Technical Standards and Safety Authority (TSSA)
The TSSA, Fuels Safety Branch in Toronto, was contacted on August 31, 2010 to
inquire about current and former underground storage tanks, spills and incidents for the
subject site and neighbouring properties. A response from the TSSA indicated there
are no records for the subject site. The property addressed 5336 Boundary Road,
located approximately 40 m southwest of the site, has a record of 4 active underground
tanks and an active cylinder exchange program. The property addressed 5425
Boundary Road, located approximately 200 m south of the site, has a record of three
(3) active underground tanks.
City of Ottawa Old Landfill Document
The document prepared by Golder Associates entitled “Old Landfill Management
Strategy, Phase I - Identification of Sites, City of Ottawa”, was reviewed. No former
landfills were identified in the immediate vicinity of the subject property.
Previous Engineering Reports
Paterson has conducted various environmental assessments in the vicinity of the
subject property. A review of our files did not indicate any environmental concerns with
respect to the subject land.
5.2 Exterior Assessment
The site inspection was conducted on September 13, 2010.
Site
The majority of the site was vacant at the time of the site inspection. A Rogers
telecommunications tower is present on the south portion of the site, near the
approximate longitudinal (east/west) centre. An access laneway leading from
Boundary Road to the telecommunications tower is present on the southern portion of
the site. The east portion (approximately 1/6th) of the site was gravel covered, while the
western portion of the site was covered with mature trees. An area of ponded water
surrounded by berms was present separating the east and west portions of the site.
patersonOttawa Kingston North Bay
Modified Phase I - Environmental Site Assessment5341 Boundary Road
Ottawa, Ontario
Report: PE2098-1September 27, 2010 Page 8
A second area of ponded water was present on either side of the access road to the
Bell Tower. The site was at grade relative to the adjacent properties. The general site
topography is flat, while the regional topography is generally flat. Site drainage
consists primarily of infiltration.
Potential Environmental Concerns
‘ Fuels and Chemical Storage
No apparent signs of underground storage tanks (USTs) or aboveground storage
tanks (ASTs) were observed at the time of the assessment. No fuels or chemicals
were observed on the exterior of the property.
‘ Waste Management
No waste is currently being produced on site.
‘ Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs)
No potential sources of PCBs were observed on site.
‘ Wastewater Discharges
No wastewater is currently generated or disposed of on site.
5.3 Adjacent Properties
Land use adjacent to the subject site was as follows:
‘ North - Vacant land followed by Highway 417 and Grey Hawk Golf Club;
‘ East - Vacant land followed by Highway 417;
‘ South - Residential dwelling, Alpine auto body and vacant land;
‘ West - Boundary Road followed by a gasoline service station, vacant land and
highway interchanges.
The current use of the property west of Boundary Road as a gasoline service station
and the property southwest of the site as an auto body have the potential to have
impacted the subject site. Land use adjacent to the subject site is illustrated on
Drawing No. PE2098-1 - Site Plan in Appendix 2.

5.4 Subsurface Investigation
The subsurface investigation was conducted on September 13, 2010 and consisted of
the placement of 15 test pits on the subject property (TP1 to TP15). TP1 through TP9,
TP 14, and TP15 were placed to assess the fill material on the western portion of the
subject property. TP10 was placed to assess the service station west of Boundary
Road. TP12 and TP13 were placed to assess the body shop southwest of the site. TP
11 was placed closer to the centre of the site for site coverage and to determine the
native soil conditions. The test pit locations are illustrated on Drawing PE2098-1 - Site
Plan in Appendix 2. The test pits were completed with a rubber tired backhoe under
full time supervision by Paterson personnel.
The soil profile on the west portion of the site generally consists of fill underlain by
native silty clay. The fill generally consists of sandy silt with gravel, cobbles and
boulders. Trace amounts of asphalt and brick were observed in the test pits on the
west portion of the property. The soil profile on the remainder of the site consists of
topsoil over silty sand overlying native clay. Specific details of the soil profile at each
test hole location can be seen on the Soil Profile and Test Data sheets in Appendix 1.
Groundwater was observed to be infiltrating in to the test pits at depths ranging from
2.8 to 3.5 m below surface grade. No sheen or odours were observed in the
groundwater from any of the test holes.
The test pits were completed to depths ranging from 2.0 to 3.7 m below the existing
grade. A total of 29 soil samples were recovered from the test pits by means of grab
sampling. Upon recovery, all samples were immediately sealed in appropriate
containers to facilitate the preliminary screening procedure. The depths at which the
grab samples were obtained from the boreholes are shown as “ G ”, on the Soil Profile
and Test Data sheet in Appendix 1.
No unusual visual or olfactory observations were made with regard to the soil samples
obtained from the test pits, with the exception of TP1, which had a slight hydrocarbon
odour. The combustible vapour readings for most samples ranged from 0 to 15 ppm.
These readings are not considered to be representative of elevated concentrations of
volatile substances, such as gasoline.
The remediation standards for the subject property were obtained from Table 2 of the
document entitled “Soil, Ground Water and Sediment Standards for Use Under Part
XV.1 of the Environmental Protection Act”, prepared by the Ontario Ministry of
Environment (MOE), March 9, 2004. The MOE Table 2 Standards are based on the
following considerations:
patersonOttawa Kingston North Bay
Modified Phase I - Environmental Site Assessment5341 Boundary Road
Ottawa, Ontario
Report: PE2098-1September 27, 2010 Page 10
‘ Course grained soil conditions.
‘ Surface soil and groundwater conditions.
‘ Potable groundwater situation.
‘ Industrial / Commercial land use.
In July of 2009, the MOE drafted amendments to the 2004 Standards which are
scheduled to be implemented on July 1, 2011. The test results were compared to the
impending 2009 MOE Standards and are discussed following each parameter set.
Soil Analysis
Five (5) soil samples were submitted for petroleum hydrocarbon (PHCs), benzene,
toluene, ethylbenzene and xylenes (BTEX) or metals analysis. The results of the
analytical testing and the selected remediation criteria are presented in Tables 1 and

6.2 Conclusion
The intent of the subsurface investigation has been to determine whether the subject
site has been significantly impacted by the presence of fill material on the subject
property or by the gasoline service station to the west of Boundary Road, further west
of the site. Based on our field observations and analytical test results, in our opinion,
the subject property has not been significantly impacted. In our opinion, no further
investigation is required at this time.

SYMBOLS AND TERMS
SOIL DESCRIPTION Behavioural properties, such as structure and strength, take precedence over particle gradation in
describing soils. Terminology describing soil structure are as follows:
Desiccated - having visible signs of weathering by oxidation of clay
minerals, shrinkage cracks, etc.
Fissured - having cracks, and hence a blocky structure.
Varved - composed of regular alternating layers of silt and clay.
Stratified - composed of alternating layers of different soil types, e.g. silt
and sand or silt and clay.
Well-Graded - Having wide range in grain sizes and substantial amounts of
all intermediate particle sizes (see Grain Size Distribution).
Uniformly-Graded - Predominantly of one grain size (see Grain Size Distribution).
The standard terminology to describe the strength of cohesionless soils is the relative density, usually
inferred from the results of the Standard Penetration Test (SPT) ‘N’ value. The SPT N value is the
number of blows of a 63.5 kg hammer, falling 760 mm, required to drive a 51 mm O.D. split spoon
sampler 300 mm into the soil after an initial penetration of 150 mm.
Relative Density ‘N’ Value Relative Density %
Very Loose <4 <15
Loose 4-10 15-35
Compact 10-30 35-65
Dense 30-50 65-85
Very Dense >50 >85
The standard terminology to describe the strength of cohesive soils is the consistency, which is based on
the undisturbed undrained shear strength as measured by the in situ or laboratory vane tests,
penetrometer tests, unconfined compression tests, or occasionally by Standard Penetration Tests.
Consistency Undrained Shear Strength (kPa) ‘N’ Value
Very Soft <12 <2
Soft 12-25 2-4
Firm 25-50 4-8
Stiff
Very Stiff
50-100
100-200
8-15
15-30
Hard >200 >30
SYMBOLS AND TERMS (continued)
SOIL DESCRIPTION (continued) Cohesive soils can also be classified according to their “sensitivity”. The sensitivity is the ratio between
the undisturbed undrained shear strength and the remoulded undrained shear strength of the soil.
Terminology used for describing soil strata based upon texture, or the proportion of individual particle
sizes present is provided on the Textural Soil Classification Chart at the end of this information package.
ROCK DESCRIPTION The structural description of the bedrock mass is based on the Rock Quality Designation (RQD).
The RQD classification is based on a modified core recovery percentage in which all pieces of sound core
over 100 mm long are counted as recovery. The smaller pieces are considered to be a result of closely-
spaced discontinuities (resulting from shearing, jointing, faulting, or weathering) in the rock mass and are
not counted. RQD is ideally determined from NXL size core. However, it can be used on smaller core
sizes, such as BX, if the bulk of the fractures caused by drilling stresses (called “mechanical breaks”) are
easily distinguishable from the normal in situ fractures.
RQD % ROCK QUALITY
90-100 Excellent, intact, very sound
75-90 Good, massive, moderately jointed or sound
50-75 Fair, blocky and seamy, fractured
25-50 Poor, shattered and very seamy or blocky, severely fractured
0-25 Very poor, crushed, very severely fractured
SAMPLE TYPES
SS - Split spoon sample (obtained in conjunction with the performing of the Standard
Penetration Test (SPT))
TW - Thin wall tube or Shelby tube
PS - Piston sample
AU - Auger sample or bulk sample
WS - Wash sample
RC - Rock core sample (Core bit size AXT, BXL, etc.). Rock core samples are
obtained with the use of standard diamond drilling bits.
SYMBOLS AND TERMS (continued)
GRAIN SIZE DISTRIBUTION
MC% - Natural moisture content or water content of sample, %
LL - Liquid Limit, % (water content above which soil behaves as a liquid)
PL - Plastic limit, % (water content above which soil behaves plastically)
PI - Plasticity index, % (difference between LL and PL)
Dxx - Grain size which xx% of the soil, by weight, is of finer grain sizes
These grain size descriptions are not used below 0.075 mm grain size
D10 - Grain size at which 10% of the soil is finer (effective grain size)
D60 - Grain size at which 60% of the soil is finer
Cc - Concavity coefficient = (D30)2 / (D10 x D60)
Cu - Uniformity coefficient = D60 / D10
Cc and Cu are used to assess the grading of sands and gravels:
Well-graded gravels have: 1 < Cc < 3 and Cu > 4
Well-graded sands have: 1 < Cc < 3 and Cu > 6
Sands and gravels not meeting the above requirements are poorly-graded or uniformly-graded.
Cc and Cu are not applicable for the description of soils with more than 10% silt and clay
(more than 10% finer than 0.075 mm or the #200 sieve)
CONSOLIDATION TEST
p’o - Present effective overburden pressure at sample depth
p’c - Preconsolidation pressure of (maximum past pressure on) sample
Ccr - Recompression index (in effect at pressures below p’c)
Cc - Compression index (in effect at pressures above p’c)
OC Ratio Overconsolidaton ratio = p’c / p’o
Void Ratio Initial sample void ratio = volume of voids / volume of solids
Wo - Initial water content (at start of consolidation test)
PERMEABILITY TEST
k - Coefficient of permeability or hydraulic conductivity is a measure of the ability of
water to flow through the sample. The value of k is measured at a specified unit
weight for (remoulded) cohesionless soil samples, because its value will vary
with the unit weight or density of the sample during the test.

Sample and QC Qualifiers Notes2- QR-01 : Duplicate RPD is high, however, the sample result is less than 10x the MDL.
3- QR-04 : Duplicate results exceeds RPD limits due to non-homogeneous matrix.
Sample Data RevisionsNone
Work Order Revisions/Comments:None
Other Report Notes:
MDL: Method Detection Limitn/a: not applicable
Source Result: Data used as source for matrix and duplicate samples%REC: Percent recovery.RPD: Relative percent difference.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.
