EXECUTIVE SUMMARY DST Consulting Engineers Inc. (DST) was engaged by the Department of Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) to carry out a Phase II Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) at the former Agassiz Ski Lodge located in Riding Mountain National Park, approximately 15 km west of McCreary, Manitoba (the Site) in order to further delineate contaminated soil and assess groundwater conditions at the Site. In 2009 a Phase II/III ESA completed (AMEC, 2010) at the Site indicated that soil samples
collected from the south side walls and floors of two underground storage tank (UST) nest
excavations located north of the Ski Lodge, used to store heating oil, exhibited petroleum
hydrocarbon concentrations that exceeded the appropriate guidelines. Laboratory results from
soil samples collected during a subsequent tank removal completed by Clearsky Environmental
in 2009 (IBED) identified PHC impacted soil in the location of two former UST locations. During
the Phase III remediation work completed in December 2010, a total of approximately 150 m3 of
impacted soil was removed from two excavation sites (AMEC 2011). However, analytical results
from the confirmatory samples collected from an excavation wall adjacent to the ski lodge building
exhibited concentrations of PHC F2 and PHC F3 which exceeded the applicable guidelines
(IBED). This area was not accessible for removal due to the presence of the building. Therefore,
contaminated soil was left in place on the Site.
DST advanced boreholes southeast of and inside the building footprint of the lodge building in
order to delineate the contaminated soil, and instrumented two exterior boreholes as monitoring
wells to further investigate groundwater conditions. Soil samples collected from the boreholes
exhibited concentrations within applicable guidelines, with the exception of one sample (BH14-3
@ 0-0.25 m) which exceeded CCME guidelines for phenanthrene. The area of contaminated soil,
included PHC and PAH impacted soil is estimated at 115 m2, and its volume is estimated at 345
m3.
Samples of groundwater taken from the cross-gradient well MW14-02 and water sampled from
beneath the basement floor of the lodge building through a drain exhibited polycyclic aromatic
hydrocarbon concentrations in excess of Canadian Drinking Water Quality Guidelines and in
excess of Federal Interim Groundwater Quality Guidelines
An updated NCSCS score of 63.0 was calculated for the Site, resulting in a ranking of category 2
– Medium Priority for Action.
DST recommends removal and off-site disposal of the fuel-contaminated soil, and that the ski lodge building be demolished to accommodate the remediation. DST also recommends resampling MW14-02 to verify the PAH contamination, followed by quarterly sampling of MW14-01, MW14-02, MW04 and MW06 until three consecutive sampling events show that groundwater meets CCME guidelines. Should re-sampling of MW14-02 confirm the existence of PAH contamination in MW14-02, Monitoring well MW01 and a new monitoring well located west of MW14-02 should be added to the monitoring program.

1.0 Introduction
DST Consulting Engineers Inc. (DST) was retained by the Department of Public Works and
Government Services Canada (PWGSC) to carry out additional environmental soil and
groundwater assessment at the former Agassiz Ski Lodge located in Riding Mountain National
Park, approximately 15 km west of McCreary, Manitoba (the Site). The Site location is shown in
Figure 1.
1.1 Objectives
The objectives of the investigation were to reduce data gaps through further delineation of soil
contamination identified on the Site (AMEC 2011), conduct groundwater sampling to further
establish groundwater conditions, update the National Classification System for Contaminated
Sites (NCSCS) scoring for the Site, provide information on site conditions to assist in management
of the ski lodge property and to provide a remedial options assessment.

2.0 Background Information
2.1 Site Description
The Site is an abandoned ski lodge located approximately 15.5 km west of McCreary. The site
was operated as a ski area until 2000, when it was abandoned. Topography at the Site slopes
gently down to the southeast, towards McKinnon Creek, which is approximately 60 m southeast
of the Ski Lodge Building. Soil at the Site includes both coarse soil and fine soil, with clay, sand,
gravel, and boulders observed on the Site. There is a lounge building located approximately 30
m east of the lodge building. Besides the lounge and lodge, there are two garage buildings on
the Site. Photographs of the site are provided in Appendix D.
2.2 Past Investigations
The Former Mount Agassiz Ski Resort, located in the Riding Mountain National Park, Manitoba
has undergone several environmental site assessments (ESA) in the past. A summary of those
investigation is included below:
A Phase I ESA, and a Phase II/III ESA were completed in 2009 and 2010, respectively, by
AMEC. Following the Phase I and II/III ESAs a Remedial Activities Report was completed
by AMEC in 2011. The 2011 AMEC report provided a summary of the 2010 AMEC report
and past assessments. According to AMEC (2011), the following potential areas of concern
were identified in the Phase I ESA:
Two 1360 L fuel oil ASTs located to the northeast of the Ski Lodge building;
The location of the two former 1360 L ASTs (the tanks were originally located closer
to McKinnon Creek);
The area near the AST at the base of the T-Bar lift. Additionally, staining and product
were observed in a pit beneath the motor of the lift and staining was observed beneath
and around the mechanical equipment used for the T-Bar and chair lift;
The former location of the fuel source for the gasoline-powered original tow ropes that
existed prior to being converted to electric tow ropes;
The area near the AST located in the brush south of the Maintenance building. This
AST was on a skid and was previously used to transport fuel to various tanks on-site;
The area near the USTs located along the north side of the Main Ski Lodge building.
There are two USTs associated with this building, in two separate locations;
The 1135 L tank which was partially buried and located in the crawlspace of the Main
Ski Lodge; and,
The UST located along the north side of the Lounge building.
Phase II/III Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) AMEC 2010:
Prior to conducting the Phase II/III ESA, the various ASTs and USTs were removed from the
Site. The Phase II/III ESA report indicated that soil samples collected from the south side

walls and floors of two UST nest excavations located north of the Ski Lodge exhibited
petroleum hydrocarbon (PHC) concentrations that exceed the appropriate guidelines.
Nineteen boreholes, with seven completed as monitoring wells were completed to evaluate
the lateral extent of contamination. At the time of drilling, elevated soil vapour was measured
in a borehole located north of the Ski Lodge building. During a follow up visit, in-well vapour
concentrations were not detected in any of the monitoring wells installed at the Site. No soil
or groundwater impacts were found at the Site. However, based on laboratory results from
soil samples collected during a tank removal completed by Clearsky Environmental, PHC
impacted soil was found in the locations of two former USTs.
Remedial Activities Report, Former Mount Agassiz Ski Resort Riding Mountain National
Park, Manitoba AMEC 2011:
In December 2010, AMEC completed remediation work at the former Mount Agassiz Ski
Resort (AMEC 2011), the scope of work for the remediation work included:
Excavation of impacted soil;
Collection of soil samples within the excavation area;
Supervision of the installation of a hydrocarbon resistant liner along the walls of the
excavation where impacted soils were not removed;
Supervision of backfilling and site restoration activities;
Provision of a remedial report, and;
Completion of post remedial documentation (NCSCS) and Treasury Board of Canada
Secretariat (TBS) liability requirements.
Based on the work plan described above, a total of approximately 150 m3 of impacted soil
was removed from two excavation sites. A total of 12 soil samples were collected and sent
to the laboratory for analysis of PHCs. One soil sample collected from an area not accessible
(below the Lodge building) for removal exhibited concentrations of PHC F2 and PHC F3 which
exceeded the applicable guidelines. A liner was installed in this area and along the east and
south sidewalls to prevent contaminant migration into the excavation backfill. The excavation
was backfilled with a combination of imported clean fill and clean overburden.
A NCSCS score was calculated for the Site, a score of 43.3 which corresponds to a Class 3
–Low Priority for Action was attributed to the Site.

3.0 Scope of Work DST made two site visits to complete the following scope of work. The first site visit was
completed March 6, 2014 through March 7, 2014 to advance boreholes, collect soil samples and
install monitoring wells. The second sit visit took place between June 17 and 18, 2014 to collect
groundwater samples, and collect additional soil samples after the ground had thawed. The
following scope of work was completed:
Underground utility locates;
Development and implementation of a Health and Safety Plan that met provincial and
federal regulations;
Using hand augering techniques, the advancement of two interior boreholes: one in the
north basement floor to a depth of 1.0 m and one in the crawlspace, as close as practicable
to northwest wall of the lodge where previous contamination was noted, to a depth of 1.5
m (both terminated at auger refusal);
Drilling two holes (WS1 and WS2) through foundation and collecting two soil samples
outside the northwest basement walls (one from the northeast basement and one from the
southwest basement - collected in lieu of interior borehole samples due to limited access
within the crawlspace);
Using a track mounted DR 150 drill rig, advancing two exterior boreholes (BH14-1, and
BH14-2) to depths of 5 m and 3 m respectively, converted into monitoring wells southeast
of the lodge;
Collecting and submitting 11 soil samples (fewer than the 14 originally planned, due to
limited access within the crawlspace) for laboratory analysis of PHC F1-F4 and benzene,
toluene, ethylbenzene and xylenes (BTEX), and submitting six worst case soil samples
for analysis of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) to determine the extents of the
soil impacts under the former Ski Lodge building;
Collecting and submitting four groundwater samples for the analysis of PHC F1-F4 and
BTEX and PAHs from the newly installed monitoring wells and the two previously installed
groundwater wells near the lodge (MW04 and MW06), and submitting a water sample
from beneath the northeast basement (accessed through a drain) for analysis of PHC F1-
F4, BTEX and PAHs;

4.0 Assessment Criteria
Federal guidelines apply to the Site, given its location within Riding Mountain National Park.
Accordingly, Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment (CCME) and Federal
Contaminated Sites Action Plan Guidelines were applied.
Manitoba uses the CCME Canadian Environmental Quality Guidelines (with an incremental risk
level of 106 where CCME lists both 106 and 105 risk levels). For consistency with previous reports
and Provincial Guidelines, a 106 incremental risk level was used where applicable.
As the contamination is within 30 cm of a building, CCME Canada-Wide Standard for Petroleum
Hydrocarbons in Soil technical Supplement (2008) requires a Tier 2 approach, wherein the more
general and therefore conservative default Tier 1 guidelines may be altered by using site specific
parameters and considering only exposure pathways appropriate to the Site.
In determining the assessment criteria, the Tier 1 criteria were modified by eliminating the potable
groundwater pathway due to the presence of a confined aquifer. The shallow groundwater at or
near the Site is not utilized as a potable resource; according to provincial well records, the facility
draws its domestic water supply from shale bedrock aquifers that are overlain by a clay
overburden that is greater than 5 m thick (AMEC 2010).
All other pathways were considered active, including the protection of aquatic life. The aquatic
life pathway was considered active due to the presence of McKinnon Creek, within 65 m of the
contaminated soil at the lodge building.
For all parameters, the more stringent of the coarse or fine grained criteria were chosen due to
the presence of both coarse grained soil and fine grained soil on the Site. Grain size analyses of
soil samples collected from a borehole near the ski lodge building ([email protected] and
[email protected]), indicated coarse grained soil. These samples are representative of the
contaminated soil and of the soil in the vicinity of the building for which coarse grained soil criteria
for indoor air vapour inhalation would be critical for some parameters. Fine grained soil was also
found on the Site according to grain size analysis of soil sample TH11 (AMEC 2011) and provincial
well records. Fine grained soil is representative of much of the Site, for which fine grained soil
criteria for soil contact and protection of aquatic life pathways would be critical for some
parameters.
Due to the Site being within a National Park and due to potential future use of the Site being
uncertain, Residential/Parkland land use was employed, consistent with previous reports.

4.1 Soil
The CCME Canadian Environmental Quality Guidelines, Soil Quality Guidelines for the Protection
of Human and Environmental Health for Residential/Parkland land use and using the more
stringent of fine or coarse grained soil were applied to the Site.
A risk level of 10-6 was chosen for consistency with previous reports and accordance with
Manitoba criteria.
The CCME guidelines for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and Inorganic compounds and pH
were obtained from the CCME web page Canadian Environmental Quality Guidelines Summary
Table, Soil Quality Guidelines for the Protection of Environmental and Human Health (CCME
2014).
The PAH parameter guidelines for comparison to the soil analytical data from this investigation were derived from Soil Quality Guidelines for the Protection of Environmental and Human Health, Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (CCME 2010). The lowest criteria of all pathways were used. The index of additive cancer risk for the protection of potable resources was also calculated for informational purposes. Consistent with previous reports, and with Manitoba provincial guidelines, the 10-6 risk level was applied. The PHC F1 – F4 guidelines were obtained from the 2008 Canadian Council of Ministers of the
Environment document “Canada Wide Standards for Petroleum Hydrocarbons in Soil, Technical
Supplement” (CCME 2008). The most stringent criteria from all pathways considered were used.
The more stringent of coarse grained or fine grained soil criteria were used.
4.1 Groundwater
The Federal guidelines applied to the Site for Groundwater were derived from Environment
Canada (2012) Guidance Document on Federal Interim Groundwater Quality Guidelines for
Federal Contaminated Sites (FIGQG), Table 2, Tier 2, using the lowest of values for all pathways
listed except for Marine Life; the aquatic life pathway was included because there is a creek
approximately 60 m from the Site.
Health Canada Drinking Water Quality Guidelines (Health Canada 2012) were provided for informational purposes.

5.0 METHODOLOGY All work was conducted in accordance with standard operating procedures. It is understood that
the Site is within federal jurisdiction and that the CCME Environmental Quality Criteria apply. It
is noted that Manitoba provincial standards rely on federal standards and guidelines; according
to Manitoba Conservation, they have adopted the following criteria and standards:
CCME Canada Wide Standard (CWS) for Petroleum Hydrocarbons in Soil;
CCME Environmental Quality Guidelines (CCME EQGs).
Therefore, the CCME EQGs and CWSs and consistent methods were used to assess the soil and
groundwater quality during this work.
5.1 Ground Disturbance and Utility Locates
Prior to completing the drilling activities, all relevant service providers were contacted and utility
locates were requested to identify all public and private underground utilities. All locates were
arranged by a utility clearance sub-contractor (Structure Scan Inc.). The Site was also inspected
and site conditions reviewed with the subcontractors including the locations of potential
underground private utility lines.
5.2 Borehole Drilling and Monitoring Well Installation and Development
Interior boreholes CS and BH14-3 were advanced using a hand auger. Boreholes BH14-1, BH14-
2 and BH14-2A were advanced using a DR 150 drill rig, equipped with hollow stem auger.
Boreholes BH14-1 and BH1402 were instrumented as monitoring wells. Soils samples were
collected from boreholes CS, BH14-1, BH14-2 and BHBH14-3 and screened as described in
section 5.3.
Each groundwater monitoring well was constructed of 5.1 cm polyvinyl chloride (PVC) well
materials consisting of a 0.254 mm (0.01 inch) machine slotted section installed to intersect the
water table and a solid riser extending to grade. An appropriate sand pack backfilled the screened
portion of the well and a bentonite seal was employed in the well annulus around the riser portion
to prevent surface contamination. A steel above-grade cover was installed at each well location.
Monitoring wells were installed on March 7, 2014, and developed by purging up to five well casing
volumes of groundwater from them (or until dry several times); within 24 hours of their installation.
Groundwater samples were obtained on June 18, 2014. Static water levels were recorded and a
level survey of the monitoring well elevations at the Site was completed. After the static water
level was completed, a graduated interface probe was used to measure for the presence and
thickness of free product at each monitoring well prior to sampling. Prior to sample collection, the
wells were purged of approximately three casing volumes of groundwater using a low flow,
peristaltic pump.

DST File No. OE-WG-017795
DST CONSULTING ENGINEERS INC.
A groundwater sample was collected from the newly installed monitoring wells (MW14-1 and
MW14-2), from the existing monitoring wells (MW04 and MW06) and a water sample was
collected from beneath the northeast basement (accessed through a drain) on June 18, 2014.
A level survey of the monitoring well elevations at the Site was completed on June 20, 2014.
Purged water was set aside in sealed containers until subsequently disposed of by Tervita on July
11, 2014, in accordance with the results of groundwater chemical analysis.
5.3 Field Screening and Soil Sampling Methodology
All soil samples collected were field screened and logged with respect to colour, texture, moisture,
and visible/olfactory evidence of petroleum contamination. A portion of each soil sample was
placed in a plastic bag and allowed to equilibrate for approximately 15 minutes in a warm
environment (i.e. the interior of the field vehicle) prior to being tested for combustible headspace
vapour concentrations (CHVCs). CHVC was measured using an RKI Eagle portable vapour
meter, with methane response switched off.
A portion of selected soil samples was placed directly into laboratory-supplied sample jars and
vials. The sample jars were filled completely with the soil sample to reduce the amount of
headspace vapour within the jars. Cross-contamination between samples was prevented by
washing sampling tools with phosphate-free detergent and water and then rinsing with distilled
water, using disposable sampling equipment, and by wearing new disposable nitrile gloves during
sampling activities. Once collected, selected soil samples were placed in a cooler packed with
ice, under chain of custody documentation, until delivery to the contract laboratory within the
applicable sample hold times. Soil cuttings were stored on the Site pending analytical results,
and contaminated cuttings were subsequently disposed of by a waste subcontractor (Tervita) in
accordance with the analytical results.
Soil samples collected were collected from the locations shown in Figure 2 using different
collection methods:
Soil samples were collected from MW14-1 and MW14-2 using a split spoon;
Soil samples were collected from BH14-3 and CS using a hand auger; and,
Soil samples WS1 and WS 2 were grab samples obtained from soil on the outside of the
foundation wall accessed by creating (and repairing) a hole through the basement wall of
the building.

6.0 Results
6.1 Soil Stratigraphy
Borehole logs presented in Appendix A illustrate the soil stratigraphy observed at the Site. In the
vicinity of the Ski lodge building a layer of sand and gravel fill approximately 1.2 m thick was found
underlain by a mixture of fine sand, silt and clay with a trace of gravel. East of the lodge, borehole
MW14-2A revealed a similar mixture of sand, silt and clay with a trace of gravel, except without
the sand and gravel fill layer.
Provincial well records in the area indicate that the soil in the general area consists of
approximately 12 m of clay underlain by shale.
6.2 Soil Results
Soil analytical results are presented in Table 1. The laboratory reported a Phenanthrene
concentration of 0.050 µg/g for sample BH1, collected from borehole BH14-3 from interval 0 –
0.25 m (beneath the basement floor, approximately 2 m below ground surface), which is
marginally above the CCME guideline of 0.046 µg/g.
All other soil samples from the current sampling program exhibited concentrations within the
selected guidelines for all parameters analysed. Historical results (AMEC 2011) indicate
contaminated soil was left in place under the building. Results are further discussed in Section
8.1 below.
6.3 Groundwater Results
Analytical Results
Groundwater Analytical results are provided in Table 2, and groundwater field parameters are
presented in Table 3. All groundwater samples exhibited concentrations within the applicable
guidelines with the exception of two groundwater samples that exhibited PAH concentrations in
excess of the applicable FIGQG and in excess of CDWQG (provided for informational purposes).
These exceedances are discussed in Section 8.2 below.
Groundwater Elevations
Results of field measurements and an elevation survey conducted on June 18, 2014 indicate that
groundwater was found at an elevation that varied from 98.3 to 98.9 m (relative to a local
benchmark). These elevations put the groundwater table 1.5 to 1.9 m below ground surface.
The water level found in drain D1 was approximately 0.5 m below the groundwater table levels
found above, indicating that the water in D1 is most likely not groundwater.

7.0 Quality Assurance/ Quality Control (QA/QC)
Duplicate soil and groundwater samples were collected from the Site:
Soil sample MW14-6 @ 2.4 – 3.0 m was a field duplicate of MW14-1 @ 2.4 – 3.0 m; and,
Groundwater Sample MW14-104 was a field duplicate of MW-04.
Reportable percentage differences were not calculable for these samples because all analytical
results were below the laboratory reported detection limits for all of the samples and duplicate
samples.
Laboratory spikes and blanks were within alert limits. The analytical results are considered
reproducible. The laboratory certificates of analysis are included in Appendix B.

8.0 Discussion of Results
A discussion of the current analytical results with regards to the site condition, taking into account
previous results and potential future use of the property is provided in the following sections.
8.1 Soil
Historical analytical results identified contaminated soil at the western edge of the lodge building
footprint, under the building at the edge of a remedial excavation referred to as Excavation 1
(AMEC 2011). This contamination was left in place due to concerns over excavating soil from
under the building. AMEC 2011 estimated the volume of PHC contaminated soil at 6 m3, however
according to AMEC 2011 there were no delineation samples taken within the building footprint to
arrive at this volume. Furthermore, the estimated volume was based on the soil meeting
guidelines based on fine grained soil. This grain size was based on one soil sample collected
during the 2009 field program (AMEC 2010), TH11. That soil sample was obtained approximately
75 m northeast of the excavation and hence may not be representative of the (contaminated) soil
at the ski lodge.
Two soil grain size analyses from MW14-02 located proximate to the ski lodge building indicate
the soil at the ski lodge is coarse grained, with 53 and 56 % being retained on the 75 micron
(#200) sieve. Using coarse grained criteria would result in a larger volume of contaminated soil
(e.g. the vapour inhalation exposure pathway value for F2 is 150 µg/g with coarse grained soil
and 3100 µg/g with fine grained soil for a building that is slab on grade).
Analytical results obtained in 2014 included samples taken further southwest and northeast along
the western wall of the lodge building, and interior soil samples taken underneath the basement
floor in the north-eastern basement and samples taken from the crawlspace under the main
portion of the building.
The 2014 soil samples exhibited PHC concentrations within the applicable guidelines, thus
providing “clean” locations for the delineation of the PHC contaminated soil. Due to the
crawlspace providing only limited access, it was not practicable to take the samples as close to
the previously identified contaminated soil as was desired, which prevented the delineation from
being more precise.
The current and historical (sampled in December 2010) exceedances of the selected current
criteria (using the more stringent guidelines for coarse or fine gained soil) are shown in the table
below. Note that although the exceedances shown below occurred for coarse grained soil criteria,
other parameters (not shown because they passed the criteria) had more stringent fine grained
criteria (e.g. benzene):

1)Data for SW @ 2 m from AMEC 2011
The AMEC sample SW @ 2. m exceeded the CCME guideline for PHC F2 by a factor of 48.
Sampling locations, including the location of the historical exceedance, are included in Figure 3
which illustrates the estimated area of PHC contaminated soil. The area was estimated by using
the “½-way method” as a first step, wherein soil is considered contaminated up to a point located
half way between a sample that exhibits concentrations exceeding the guideline and a sample
that exhibits concentrations within the guideline. As such, the predicted area is dependent on the
spacing of the sampling points. The estimated area was then reduced by considering the
groundwater flow direction, because it is reasonable to assume that the fuel contamination did
not extend south of the “clean” sample WS2 (collected from the same elevation as the known
contamination), given the observed groundwater flow direction. The area of PHC contaminated
soil was thus estimated at 60 m2.
Only one soil sample exhibited concentrations in excess of the applicable critera for the 2014
sampling event. Sample BH14-3 taken from a depth 0 to 0.25 m below the concrete floor
exceeded the CCME guideline for phenanthrene (for the protection of freshwater life pathway) by
9%, and was the only sample to exceed the CCME guidelines for PAHs. Previous studies (AMEC
2011, AMEC 2010) did not analyse any samples for PAHs.
Although the area of the PAH contamination is not delineated to the north or east, there are “clean”
samples to the northwest, west and south west. However, given the low concentration, the
distance down gradient from the PHC impacted soil and the mobility of phenanthrene in soil, the
area of phenanthrene contamination is not expected to extend more than a couple of meters down
gradient. Considering the groundwater flow direction and assuming the phenanthrene
contamination originates from the same source as the PHC contaminated soil, and that the limits
of the phenanthrene contaminated soil coincide with the half-way point between boreholes BH14-
3 and CS results in the area of approximately 115 m2 shown in Figure 3. Using a 3 m depth
results in a volume of 345 m3 (690 metric tonnes).

Note:
1) Sample D1 was taken from a floor drain that apparently terminated in the
engineered fill immediately beneath the concrete floor.
A water sample taken from the north-eastern basement’s floor drain (for wastewater disposal
classification purposes during potential future remediation/demolition) also exhibited
concentrations exceeding the applicable guidelines and CDWQG (provided for informational
purposes only) for PAH parameters anthracene, benzo(a)anthracene, benzo(a)pyrene,
fluoranthene and pyrene. This floor drain appeared to terminate in the engineered fill immediately
below the concrete basement floor. Comparison of groundwater elevations and the water
elevation within the drain revealed that the water in the drain was approximately ½ a meter lower
than the groundwater table, suggesting the water in the drain may not be groundwater. However,
groundwater infiltration remains a possible source of the contamination.
Groundwater samples taken from monitoring well MW14-02 also exhibited concentrations of
anthracene, benzo(a)anthracene, benzo(a)pyrene, fluoranthene and pyrene that exceeded the
applicable FIGQG and exceeded CDWQG for benzo(a)pyrene and pyrene. These groundwater
exceedances are shown in Figure 4.
Note that samples MW14-2 and D1 contained sediment greater than 1 cm, and that the lab did
not decant the samples before processing, which likely biased the results high. Additional
sampling of well MW14-2 would provide verification of the groundwater exceedances. Additional
sampling of groundwater during potential excavation activities would inform a decision on
groundwater disposal during any such activities.

Monitoring wells MW14-01, MW04 and MW06, sampled during the current study provided
groundwater PAH delineation in the westerly and northerly directions, and but the extent of the
groundwater PAH contamination to the south and west remains undetermined. There is an
existing well approximately 35 to 40 m south of the lodge (MW01) that could be sampled, but
there is no existing well west of the lodge. The westerly extent of any groundwater contamination
is not expected to be up gradient of the lodge building foundation. Previous studies (AMEC 2011
and 2010) did not analyse any samples for PAHs.
Given the location of MW14-2, the observed groundwater flow direction and the fact that PAHs
were not found in the other wells that are closer to and down gradient of the observed soil
contamination, it is also possible that these PAH groundwater exceedances (if confirmed)
originate from a different source than the fuel contaminated soil observed at AMEC sample SW2.
Groundwater Flow Direction
The average hydraulic gradient was calculated as 0.019 with a flow direction toward the east (79
degrees clockwise from north) using the water levels measured on June 18, 2014 in all four
monitoring wells (MW04, MW05, MW14-1 and MW14-2). Groundwater flow direction may vary
seasonally, and based on topography and the position of McKinnon Creek, groundwater flow
direction could at times be toward the southeast, placing MW14-2 downgradient from the UST
area.
8.3 National Classification System for Contaminated Sites (NCSCS)
An updated NCSCS score of 63.0 was calculated for the site, resulting in a ranking of category 2
– Medium Priority for Action.

9.0 Remedial Options Analysis
This assessment has identified PHC and PAH contaminated soil under the Lodge building with a
total area estimated to be approximately 115 m2. The depth of the contamination has been
estimated to be 3 m and therefore the estimated volume for remediation is 345 m3. Based on the
estimated volume the weight of the impacted soils is estimated to be 690 tonnes. Given the
above, consideration was given to the following remedial options:
1. Ex Situ Treatment Technologies
Excavation and Disposal
2. In Situ Treatment Technologies
In Situ Chemical Oxidation
In Situ Bioremediation
3. Risk Management Alternatives (with development of site specific remediation criteria, if applicable)
Risk Assessment
No Action / Monitoring (i.e. natural attenuation)
Groundwater monitoring to establish groundwater conditions at the Site with regards to applicable
guideline would remain a requirement regardless of the remediation option chosen.
The various remedial alternatives were considered for the Site with regards to the following
factors:
Effectiveness in meeting the selected clean-up criteria;
Applicability to site conditions;

9.1 Excavation and Disposal
The excavation and disposal alternative would include source removal by excavation and disposal
of contaminated soil at an approved waste disposal facility. This alternative would be an viable
since it would eliminate the source of contamination at the Site. Appropriate health and safety
plans would be required to avoid ingestion/inhalation of impacted soil/dust by site personnel, and
to prevent contaminant impact to the vicinity.

DST understands the buildings are to be demolished. During demolition, after removal of the
building, would be the best time to address this contamination. During building demolition,
appropriate abatement techniques would need to be employed to deal with any hazardous
materials referred to in the hazardous materials survey (DST 2014).
Excavation and disposal of contaminated soil off site would present a permanent solution for
remediation of the hydrocarbon soil contamination.
A breakdown of the estimated cost to remove and dispose of the petroleum hydrocarbon
contaminated soil from the Site is provided in the following table:
Estimated Cost for Excavation and Disposal Alternative
Activity Estimated Cost 1
Project Management $4,000
Remediation Site Supervision $2,500
Excavation and Disposl of contaminated soil
($95/tonne)$65,550

Building Demolition $120,000
Contingency 20% $45,150
Total $270,900
Notes:
1) For 690 tonnes of impacted soil.
9.2 In Situ Chemical Oxidation
This option would involve the addition of an oxidant such as hydrogen peroxide and persulphate
to promote the degradation of hydrocarbons by direct oxidation. This method is often highly
effective in treating PHCs when good distribution is achieved. Effectiveness diminishes during
winter and when distribution is not effective. The addition of a strong oxidant would also
accelerate decay of underground infrastructure. Removal of the building prior to remediation
would facilitate amendment application.

9.3 In Situ Bioremediation
This option would involve addition of amendments such as oxygen (for aerobic biodegredation)
and nutrients (for aerobic and anaerobic biodegradation) to the saturated zone to enhance natural
bioremediation. Removal of the building would facilitate amendment application. This option
could potentially take years to achieve results. An estimated cost is provided below:

9.4 Risk Assessment
A preliminary quantitative risk assessment level (PQRA) consisting of a site specific risk
assessment for human health (SSRA-HH) and a screening level ecological risk assessment
(SLERA) would be completed for the Site. Due to the presence of McKinnon Creek, it is possible
that additional bioassays may be required as part of the risk assessment; an extra $15,000 has
been included in the contingency cost for this purpose.
Given the complexity of the Site, the risk assessment process can likely be completed in a period
of two to six months. However additional sampling may be required to delineate the PAH
impacted groundwater, which would potentially add two months.
The Risk assessment would likely recommend a Risk Management Plan (RMP). The cost of the
risk assessment is expected to be approximately $40,000. The additional groundwater
delineation is estimated at $10,000. Although it is not possible to accurately predict without
performing the Risk Assessment and developing the RMP, the expected cost of vapour extraction
system likely to recommended as a result of a potential RMP is estimated at an additional
$75,000.
Estimated Cost for Risk Assessment
Activity Estimated Cost
Project Management $4,000
Additional Delineation and Reporting $10,000
Disbursement (site security, consultant
equipment and vehicle expenses)$2,000
Risk Assessment $40,000

Contingency 20% + $15,000 for BioAssays $41,200
Total $172,200

9.5 Monitored Natural Attenuation
This option would include continued monitoring of groundwater, soil vapour and indoor air quality.
It is estimated that a monitoring program including groundwater, soil vapour, and indoor air
monitoring would cost approximately $20,000 for the first year and $15,000 per year thereafter.
Natural attenuation of some contaminants (e.g. PAHs) could take decades, and given the levels
of contamination at the site, this option could not be recommended unless it was in conjunction
with a risk assessment or other remediation option.
9.6 Preferred Option
Site specific conditions were taken into account to select the preferred remedial option, most
notably the following conditions:
Hydrocarbon concentrations in Soil exceeded the applicable guidelines by over an order
of magnitude in sample SW@ 2m with an F2 concentration of 7190 µg/L (AMEC 2011);
There are underground utilities at the site that would potentially impacted by the
application of chemical oxidizing agents;
The Site is accessible by road;
The Site includes public spaces and is in a national park. and,
It is preferable to have the site remediated in a reasonable time frame.
The following table presents a summary of the assessment of the remedial alternatives potentially
appropriate for the site, considering the factors.

Considering the above factors, the preferred option selected for remediation of the Site was
Excavation and Offsite Disposal. Removing the fuel-impacted soil would remove the source of
the PAHs in the groundwater.
Quarterly Groundwater sampling is recommended until three consecutive sampling rounds reveal
that groundwater concentrations are not of concern.

10.0 Conclusions and Recommendations
Contaminated soil with concentrations of PHC F1, F2 and F3 in excess of current CCME
guidelines was identified during excavation limit sampling near the building foundation at a depth
greater than the building foundation (AMEC 2011). The PHC impacted soil is estimated to be
approximately 60 m2 in area, with a depth of approximately 3 m and a volume of 180 m3.
One soil sample (BH14-3) exhibited a phenanthrene concentration of 0.050 µg/g, which is above
the CCME guideline of 0.046 µg/g. The criteria exceeded was for the protection of freshwater life
pathway, which does not vary with land use.
The area of impacted soil including the PHC and PAH contaminated soil is estimated at
approximately 115 m2 with a depth of 3 m and a volume of 345 m3. Verification sampling of the
excavation should include analyses for PAHs.
A remedial options analysis indicated the preferred remedial option for the Site was excavation
and off-site disposal of the contaminated soil. Scheduling demolition of the ski lodge building
prior to the soil remediation would facilitate excavating the soil, which is located within the building
footprint. DST estimates for the cost of this remediation at approximately $271,000.
Groundwater sample from monitoring well MW14-02 exhibited concentrations of anthracene,
benzo(a)anthracene, benzo(a)pyrene, fluoranthene, and pyrene in excess of FIGQG for the
freshwater life exposure pathway, which is not dependent on land use and only slightly dependent
on soil grain size.
Due to sediment in groundwater sample MW14-02, and the low concentrations reported in the
sample, re-sampling of MW14-02 is recommended to verify the groundwater contamination.
Should disposal of groundwater be required during potential future remediation work (e.g.
disposal of infiltrating water during excavation) , a sample of the groundwater should be analysed
for PAHs.
Monitoring wells MW04, MW06, MW14-01 and MW14-02 should be included in a monitoring
program. Should confirmation sampling confirm the existence of PAH contamination in MW14-
02, monitoring well MW01 and a new monitoring well located west of MW14-02 should be added
to the monitoring program. All wells should be sampled for PHCs, BTEX and PAHs.

Notes:
1) Top of PVC well casings surveyed by DST 18 June 2014, relative to local benchmark (top of I-beam found implanted into the ground in front of the lounge building).
2) Elevations are in relation to a local datum assigned an arbitrary elevation of 100.00 m.
3) "m btpvc" means metres below the top of PVC well casing.
4) "m bgs" means metres below ground surface.
5) Oxygen probe malfunction is suspected due to unrealistic high readings.
6) D-1 was not a monitoring well, but a floor drain terminating in fill immediately under the basement floor.
7) Floor elevation used instead of top of casing and ground surface.

NC (Duplicate RPD): The duplicate RPD was not calculated. The concentration in the sample and/or duplicate was too low to permit a reliable RPD calculation (one or both samples < 5x RDL).
NC (Matrix Spike): The recovery in the matrix spike was not calculated. The relative difference between the concentration in the parent sample and the spiked amount was too small to permit a reliablerecovery calculation (matrix spike concentration was less than 2x that of the native sample concentration).
Surrogate: A pure or isotopically labeled compound whose behavior mirrors the analytes of interest. Used to evaluate extraction efficiency.
Method Blank: A blank matrix containing all reagents used in the analytical procedure. Used to identify laboratory contamination.
Spiked Blank: A blank matrix sample to which a known amount of the analyte, usually from a second source, has been added. Used to evaluate method accuracy.
Matrix Spike: A sample to which a known amount of the analyte of interest has been added. Used to evaluate sample matrix interference.
Duplicate: Paired analysis of a separate portion of the same sample. Used to evaluate the variance in the measurement.

Question Comment
Are Radioactive material, Bacterial contamination or
Biological hazards likely to be present at the site?
If yes, do not proceed through the NCSCS. Contact
applicable regulatory agency immediately.
Are there no contamination exceedances (known or
suspected)?
Determination of exceedances may be based on: 1)
CCME environmental quality guidelines; 2) equivalent
provincial guidelines/standards if no CCME guideline
exists for a specific chemical in a relevant medium; or
3) toxicity benchmarks derived from the literature for
chemicals not covered by CCME or provincial
guidelines/standards.
If yes (i.e., there are no exceedances), do not proceed
through the NCSCS.
Are there indicators of significant adverse effects in
the exposure zone (i.e., the zone in which receptors
may come into contact with contaminants)? Some
examples are as follows:
-Hydrocarbon sheen or NAPL in the exposure zone
-Severely stressed biota or devoid of biota;
-Presence of material at ground surface or sediment
with suspected high concentration of contaminants
such as ore tailings, sandblasting grit, slag, and coal
tar.
If yes, automatically rate the site as Class 1, a priority
for remediation or risk management, regardless of the
total score obtained should one be calculated (e.g., for
comparison with other Class 1 sites).
Do measured concentrations of volatiles or unexploded
ordnances represent an explosion hazard?
If yes, automatically rate the site as Class 1, a priority
for remediation or risk management, and do not
continue until the safety risks have been addressed.
Consult your jurisdiction's occupational health and
safety guidance or legislation on exposive hazards and
measurement of lower explosive limits.
Have partial/incompleted or no environmental site
investigations been conducted for the Site?
If yes, do not proceed through the NCSCS.
Is there direct and signficant evidence of impacts to
humans at the site, or off-site due to migration of
contaminants from the site?
If yes, automatically rate the site as Class 1, a priority
for remediation or risk management, regardless of the
total score obtained should one be calculated (e.g., for
comparison with other Class 1 sites).
Is there direct and significant evidence of impacts to
ecological receptors at the site, or off-site due to
migration of contaminants from the site?
Some low levels of impact to ecological receptors are
considered acceptable, particularly on commercial and
industrial land uses. However, if ecological effects are
considered to be severe, the site may be categorized
as Class 1, regardless of the numerical total NCSCS
score. For the purpose of application of the NCSCS,
effects that would be considered severe include
observed effects on survival, growth or reproduction
which could threaten the viability of a population of
ecological receptors at the site. Other evidence that
qualifies as severe adverse effects may be determined
based on professional judgement and in consultation
with the relevant jurisdiction.

The former ski resort facility covers 350 acres and consists of previously groomed ski slopes, several
buildings including a ski lodge, lounge, first aid building, maintenance and mechanical buildings and
storage sheds. Three underground storage tanks were known to exist and supplied heating oil for the
three furnaces in the lodge (2 furnaces) and lounge building. A third aboveground tank was located in the
crawlspace of the Lodge. Several small aboveground petroleum storage tanks were observed at the ski lift
equipment. Two 1360 L (300 gallon) ASTs with a secondary containment were observed near the main
structures. With exception of the 1360 L ASTs, all known ASTs and USTs have been removed from the
Site. The Site is located within a protected national park and all surrounding property is undeveloped
forest. The closest developed property is in the Rural Municipality of McCreary 10 kilometers east of the
Site.

1) Please review the following overview of contents. The revised CCME National Classification System for Contaminated
Sites (NCSCS) consists of a pre-screening checklist, summary of site conditions, summary score sheet, and three
instruction/worksheet pages for the user to fill out: Contaminant Characteristics, Migration Potential and Exposure. For
ease of printing, the method of evaluation for scoring each section of the worksheet is provided in a separate Instructions
tab. Reference material is also provided to assist with the evaluation. A brief description of each sheet is as follows:
Contaminant Characteristics Instructions & Worksheet - Prompts the user for information related to the contaminants
of potential concern (COPC) found at the site.
Migration Potential Instructions & Worksheet - Prompts the user for information related to physical transport
processes which may move contamination to neighboring sites or re-distribute contamination within a site. Migration
potential includes many of the exposure pathways, but is not limited to exposure pathways. Migration potential does
not require clearly defined receptors.
Site Description Sheet - Summarizes Site information. It also indicates the level of information available (Site Letter
Grade) for the site to conduct the NCSCS scoring evaluation. The known/potential contaminants of concern and
affected media will also be summarized here.
Pre-Screening Checklist - Used to determine if the Site can either be considered a Class 1 site (to be remediated
immediately) or more information must be collected before the Site can be ranked, or other hazards exist at the Site
that must be addressed first before the Site can be ranked using the revised NCSCS.
The worksheet titles and sub headings are as follows.

5) A few terms are used throughout which require definition, they are as follows:
Confirmation Sampling – Remedial work, monitoring, and/or compliance testing have been
conducted and confirmatory sampling demonstrates whether contamination has been removed or
stabilized effectively and whether cleanup or risk management objectives have been attained.
Known - refers to scores that are assigned based on documented scientific and/or technical observations
Potential - refers to scores that are assigned when something is not known, though it may be suspected
Allowed Potential - If, in a given category, known and potential scores are provided by the user, the checklist will typically
default to the "known" score. If a "known" score is provided, the "allowed potential" score will equal zero. Exceptions can be
found within the Modifying Factors categories in each worksheet where there are often several independent questions.
Therefore, "known" and "potential" scores are allowed to contribute to the total modifying factor score.
Raw - refers to score totals which have not been adjusted down to the total maximum score for the given category. In most
cases the possible total raw score is greater than the maximum allowed
2) This is an electronic form which will prompt the user for information. Based on the answers provided, a score is
calculated for the contaminated site in question. In most cases, the user will be asked to select amongst two or more
choices in a drop down checklist. To access the drop down checklist, move the mouse towards the right side of the
"action box". If a drop down is available, an arrow will appear, which must be selected to access the drop down choices.
An "action box" requires input from the user. All action boxes have an amber background.
3) When assigning scores for each factor, it is highly recommended to give a rationale (a column has been provided for this purpose
in Worksheets I, II and III). Information that would be useful in justifying the scores assigned may include: a statement of any
assumptions, a description of site-specific information, and references for any data sources (e.g., site visit, personal interview, site
assessment reports, or other documents consulted).
Pre Phase I ESA – No environmental investigations have been conducted or there are only partial or
incomplete Phase I ESA for the Site. It is not recommended to continue through the NCSCS when
insufficient data are available. In these cases, it will generally be necessary to conduct a Phase I
ESA or other site investigation tasks in order to complete the NCSCS scoring.
4) The Site Letter Grade is related to the level of information available for the Site (as defined by the User) and provides
an indication of completeness of information based on the level of investigation and remediation work that has been
carried out at the site. More detailed descriptions of the various categories are provided below.
Phase I ESA – A preliminary desk-top type study has been conducted, involving non-intrusive data
collection to determine whether there is a potential for the Site to be contaminated and to provide
information to direct any intrusive investigations. Data collected may include a review of available
information on current site conditions and history of the property, a site inspection and interviews with
personnel familiar with the Site. [Note: This stage is similar to "Phase I: Site Information Assessment"
as described in Guidance Document on the Management of Contaminated Sites in Canada (CCME
1997).]
Limited Phase II ESA – An initial intrusive investigation and assessment of the property has been
conducted, generally focusing on potential sources of contamination, to determine whether there is
contamination present above the relevant screening guidelines or criteria, and to broadly define soil
and groundwater conditions; samples have been collected and analyzed to identify, characterize and
quantify contamination that may be present in air, soil, groundwater, surface water or building
materials. [Note: This stage is similar to "Phase II: Reconnaissance Testing Program" as described in
Guidance Document on the Management of Contaminated Sites in Canada (CCME 1997).]
Detailed Phase II ESA – Further intrusive investigations have been conducted to characterize and
delineate the contamination, to obtain detailed information on the soil and groundwater conditions, to
identify the contaminant pathways, and to provide other information required to develop a remediation
plan. [Note: This stage is similar to "Phase III: Detailed Testing Program" as described in Guidance
Document on the Management of Contaminated Sites in Canada (CCME 1997).]
Risk Assessment with or without Remedial Plan or Risk Management Strategy – A risk
assessment has been completed, and if the risk was found to be unacceptable, a site-specific
remedial action plan has been designed to mitigate environmental and health concerns associated
with the Site, or a risk management strategy has been developed.

Class 1 - High Priority for Action (Total NCSCS Score greater than 70)
Class 2 - Medium Priority for Action (Total NCSCS Score between 50 and 69.9)
Class 3 - Low Priority for Action (Total NCSCS Score between 37 and 49.9)
Class N - Not a Priority for Action (Total NCSCS Score less than 37)
Class INS - Insufficient Information (>15% of Responses are "Do Not Know")
There is insufficient information to classify the site. In this event, additional information is required to address data gaps.
8) Additional Complementary Tools to the NCSCS
The CCME Soil Quality Index (SoQI) is a complementary tool that focuses more on evaluating the relative hazard, by
comparing contaminant concentrations with their respective soil quality guidelines. The SoQI uses three factors for its
calculations, namely: 1) scope (% of contaminants that do not meet their respective guidelines), 2) frequency (% of individual
tests of contaminants that do not meet their respective guidelines), and 3) amplitude (the amount by which the contaminants do
not meet their respective guidelines). The soil quality index can be used to compare different contaminated sites with similar
types of contamination as well as to see if the jurisdictional requirements have been met after remediation of a particular site.
6) Certainty Percentage: The ratio of “Known” to “Potential” responses reflects the relative certainty, or confidence, of
the resulting final score and the classification. The NCSCS system defines this ratio as the “Certainty Percentage”. The
Certainty Percentage is generated from the number of sections assigned scores based on “known” information divided
by the total number of sections. A high percentage indicates that more is known about the Site, and therefore there is
more confidence in the ranking, whereas a low percentage suggests that the ranking should be treated with caution.
Note: For some questions in the worksheets, the option selected will determine whether a "known" or "potential" score is assigned.
In these cases, if "Do Not Know" is selected, a score will automatically be listed as "potential", whereas all of the other options in the
list will provide a "known" score.
The NCSCS was not developed for and is not readily applicable for the assessment of sites with a significant marine or aquatic
component. Environmental conditions at marine and aquatic sites are best measured in the bed sediments as they act as long-
term reservoirs of chemicals to the aquatic environment and to organisms living in or having direct contact with sediments.
The CCME Sediment Quality Index (SeQI) provides a convenient means of summarizing sediment quality data and can
complement the NCSCS. The SeQI provides a mathematical framework for assessing sediment quality conditions by
comparing contaminant concentrations with their respective sediment quality guidelines.
7) Site Classification Categories: Sites should not be ranked relative to one another. Sites must be classifed on their individual
characteristics in order to determine the appropriate classification (Class 1, 2, 3, or N) according to their priority for action, or Class
INS (Insufficient Information) for sites that require further information before they can be classifed. The classification groupings are
as follows:
The available information indicates that action (e.g., futher site characterization, risk management, remediation, etc.) is
required to address existing concerns. Typically, Class 1 sites indicate high concern for several factors, and measured or
observed impacts have been documented.
The available information indicates that there is high potential for adverse impacts, although the threat to human health and the
environment is generally not imminent. There will tend not to be indication of off-site contamination, however, the potential for
this was rated high and therefore some action is likely required.
The available information indicates that this site is currently not a high concern. However, additional investigation may be
carried out to confirm the site classification, and some degree of action may be required.
The available information indicates there is probably no significant environmental impact or human health threats. There is
likely no need for action unless new information becomes available indicating greater concerns, in which case the site should
be re-examined.

Notes
Ranking of contaminant "exceedance" is determined by comparing contaminant
concentrations with the most conservative media-specific and land-use appropriate
CCME environmental quality guidelines. Ranking should be based on contaminant
with greatest exceedance of CCME guidelines.
Ranking of contaminant hazard as high, medium and low is as follows:
High = One or more measured contaminant concentration is greater than 100 X
appropriate CCME guidelines
Medium = One or more measured contaminant concentration is 10 - 99.99 X appropriate
CCME guidelines
Low = One or more measured contaminant concentration is 1 - 9.99 X appropriate CCME
guidelines
Mobile NAPL = Contaminant is a non-aqueous phase liquid (i.e., due to its low solubility, it
does not dissolve in water, but remains as a separate liquid) and is present at a
sufficiently high saturation (i.e., greater than residual NAPL saturation) such that there is
significant potential for mobility either downwards or laterally.
Other standards may include local background concentration or published toxicity
benchmarks.
Results of toxicity testing with site samples can be used as an alternative.
This approach is only relevant for contaminants that do not biomagnify in the food web,
since toxicity tests would not indicate potential effects at higher trophic levels.
High = lethality observed.
Medium = no lethality, but sub lethal effects observed.
Low = neither lethal nor sub lethal effects observed.
In the event that elevated levels of a material with no
associated CCME guidelines are present, check provincial
and USEPA environmental criteria.
Hazard Quotients (sometimes referred to as a screening
quotient in risk assessments) refer to the ratio of
measured concentration to the concentration believed to
be the threshold for toxicity. A similar calculation is used
here to determine the contaminant exceedance factor
(CEF). Concentrations greater than one times the
applicable CCME guideline (i.e., CEF=>1) indicate that
risks are possible. Mobile NAPL has the highest
associated score (8) because of its highly concentrated
nature and potential for increase in the size of the
impacted zone.
An increasing number of residency media containing
chemical exceedances often equates to a greater
potential risk due to an increase in the number of potential
exposure pathways.
The relative degree of chemical hazard should be selected based on the most hazardous
contaminant known or suspected to be present at the site.
The degree of hazard has been defined by the Federal Contaminated Sites Action Plan
(FCSAP) and a list of substances with their associated hazard (Low, Medium and High)
has been provided as a separate sheet in this file.
See Attached Reference Material for Contaminant Hazard Rankings.
Hazard as defined in the revised NCS pertains to the
physical properties of a chemical which can cause harm.
Properties can include toxic potency, propensity to
biomagnify, persistence in the environment, etc. Although
there is some overlap between hazard and contaminant
exceedance factor below, it will not be possible to derive
contaminant exceedance factors for many substances
which have a designated chemical hazard designation,
but don't have a CCME guideline. The purpose of this
category is to avoid missing a measure of toxic potential.
The overall score is calculated by adding the individual scores from each residency media
(having one or more exceedance of the most conservative media specific and land-use
appropriate CCME guideline).

Does the chemical fall in the class of persistent chemicals
based on its behavior in the environment?
Persistent chemicals, e.g., PCBs, chlorinated pesticides etc. either do not degrade or take
longer to degrade, and therefore may be available to cause effects for a longer period of
time. Canadian Environmental Protection Act (CEPA) classifies a chemical as persistent
when it has at least one of the following characteristics:
(a) in air,
(i) its half-life is equal to or greater than 2 days, or
(ii) it is subject to atmospheric transport from its source to a
remote area;
(b) in water, its half-life is equal to or greater than 182 days;
(c) in sediments, its half-life is equal to or greater than
365 days; or
(d) in soil, its half-life is equal to or greater than 182 days.
This list does not include metals or metalloids, which in their elemental form do not
degrade. However metals and metalloids form chemical species in the environment, many
of which are not readily bioavailable.
Some contaminants may react or absorb into underground
utilities and infrastructure. For example, organic solvents
may degrade some plastics, and salts could cause
corrosion of metal.
Measure or estimate the area or quantity of total contamination (i.e, all contaminants
known or strongly suspected to be present on the site). The "Area of Contamination" is
defined as the area or volume of contaminated media (soil, sediment, groundwater,
surface water) exceeding appropriate environmental criteria.
Examples of Persistent Substances are provided in
attached Reference Materials
For the purposes of the revised NCS ranking system, the following chemicals represent
distinct chemical "classes": inorganic substances (including metals), volatile petroleum
hydrocarbons, light extractable petroleum hydrocarbons, heavy extractable petroleum
hydrocarbons, PAHs, phenolic substances, chlorinated hydrocarbons, halogenated
methanes, phthalate esters, pesticides.
Refer to the Reference Material sheet for a list of example
substances that fall under the various chemical classes.
The contaminants are not expected to cause damage to
utilities.
Volatile petroleum hydrocarbons, light extractible
hydrocarbons, heavy extractible hydrocarbons, PAHs.
Benzo(a)pyrene is in the list of persistent chemicals.
The PHCs are considered persistent based on half-life.
Area of contamination is estimated to be less than 1000 cubic
metres.
A larger quantity of a potentially toxic substance can result
in a larger frequency of exposure as well as a greater
probability of migration, therefore, larger quantities of
these substances earn a higher score.

1) The presence and hydraulic conductivity (“K”) of saturated subsurface materials that impede
the vertical migration of contaminants to lower aquifer units which can or are used as a drinking
water source, groundwater exposure pathway or
2) The presence and permeability (“k”) of unsaturated subsurface materials that impede the
vertical migration of contaminants from the source location to the saturated water table aquifer,

The 1992 NCS rationale evaluated the off-site migration as a regulatory issue. The

If a score of zero is assigned for relative mobility, it is still recommended that the following
sections on potential for groundwater pathway be evaluated and scored. Although the
Koc of an individual contaminant may suggest that it will be relatively immobile, it is
possible that, with complex mixtures, there could be enhanced mobility due to co-solvent
effects. Therefore, the Koc cannot be relied on solely as a measure of mobility. An
evaluation of other factors such as containment, thickness of confining layer, hydraulic
conductivities and precipitation infiltration rate are still useful in predicting potential for
groundwater migration, even if a contaminant is expected to have insignificant mobility
based on its chemistry alone.
Potable groundwater Environment. Contaminants in excess of GCDWQ. Contamints in
contact with groundwater.
Review chemical data and evaluate groundwater quality.
The evaluation method concentrates on 1) a potable or non-potable groundwater environment; 2)
the groundwater flow system and its potential to be an exposure pathway to known or potential
receptors
An aquifer is defined as a geologic unit that yields groundwater in usable quantities and drinking
water quality. The aquifer can currently be used as a potable water supply or could have the
potential for use in the future. Non-potable groundwater environments are defined as areas that
are serviced with a reliable alternative water supply (most commonly provided in urban areas). The
evaluation of a non-potable environment will be based on a site specific basis.
Physical evidence includes significant sheens, liquid phase contamination, or contaminant
saturated soils.
Seeps and springs are considered part of the groundwater pathway.
In Arctic environments, the potability and evaluation of the seasonal active layer (above the
permafrost) as a groundwater exposure pathway will be considered on a site-specific basis.
NOTE: If a score is assigned here for Known COPC Exceedances, then you can
skip Part B (Potential for groundwater pathway) and go to Section 2 (Surface Water Pathway)
Although F1 was found at high concentrations in soil, the Koc for the contaminants found in
groundwater range 5,000 to 10^6. The volume of PHC contamination is estimated to be
small and therefore the F1 is diluted to acceptable levels within a small area. No PHC
exceedances were detected in groundwater samples from nearby wells.

Review the existing engineered systems or natural attenuation processes for the site and
determine if full or partial containment is achieved.
Full containment is defined as an engineered system or natural attenuation processes, monitored
as being effective, which provide for full capture and/or treatment of contaminants. All chemicals
of concern must be contained for “Full Containment” scoring. Natural attenuation must have
sufficient data, and reports cited with monitoring data to support steady state conditions and the
attenuation processes. If there is no containment or insufficient natural attenuation process, this
category is evaluated as high. If there is less than full containment or if uncertain, then evaluate as
medium. In Arctic environments, permafrost will be evaluated, as appropriate, based on detailed
evaluations, effectiveness and reliability to contain/control contaminant migration.
The term "confining layer" refers to geologic material with little or no permeability or hydraulic
conductivity (such as unfractured clay); water does not pass through this layer or the rate of
movement is extremely slow.
Measure the thickness and extent of materials that will impede the migration of contaminants to
the groundwater exposure pathway.
The evaluation of this category is based on:
1) The presence and thickness of saturated subsurface materials that impede the vertical
migration of contaminants to lower aquifer units which can or are used as drinking water sources
or
2) The presence and thickness of unsaturated subsurface materials that impede the vertical
migration of contaminants from the source location to the saturated zone (e.g., water table
aquifer, first hydrostratigraphic unit or other groundwater pathway).

Exposure via the lungs (inhalation) can be a very important exposure pathway. Inhalation can be via both particulates
(dust) and gas (vapours). Vapours can be a problem where buildings have been built on former industrial sites or where
volatile contaminants have migrated below buildings resulting in the potential for vapour intrusion.
Assesses the potential for humans to be exposed to vapours originating from site soils. The closer the receptor is to a
source of volatile chemicals in soil, the greater the potential of exposure. Also, coarser-grained soil will convey vapour
much more efficiently in the soil than finer grained material such as clays and silts.
General Notes;
Someone experienced must provide a thorough description of the sources researched to determine the presence/absence
of a vapour migration and/or dust generation in the vicinity of
the contaminated site. This information must be documented in the NCS Site Classification Worksheet including contact
names, phone numbers, e-mail correspondence and/or reference
maps/reports and other resource such as internet links.

contaminated food source/supply and subsequent ingestion/transfer to humans. Any associated adverse effects to the
environment are scored separately later in this worksheet.

*Where adverse effects on humans are documented, the site should be automatically designated as a
Class 1 site (i.e., action required). There is no need to proceed through the NCS in this case.
However, a scoring guideline (22) is provided in case a numerical score for the site is still desired (e.g.,
for comparison with other Class 1 sites).
This category can be based on the outcomes of risk assessments and applies to studies which have
reported Hazard Quotients >1 for noncarcinogenic chemicals and incremental cancer risks that exceed
acceptable levels defined by the jurisdiction for carcinogenic chemicals (for most jurisdictions this is
typically either >10-5
or >10-6
). Known impacts can also be evaluated based on blood testing (e.g.
blood lead >10 ug/dL) or other health based testing.
This category can be based on the outcomes of risk assessments and applies to studies which have
reported Hazard Quotients of less than 0.2 for non-carcinogenic chemicals and incremental lifetime
cancer risks for carcinogenic chemicals that are within acceptable levels as defined by the jurisdiction
(for most jurisdictions this is less than either 10-6
or 10-5
).
Review location and structures and contaminants at the site and determine if there are intervening
barriers between the site and humans. A low rating should be assigned to a (covered) site surrounded
by a fence or in a remote location, whereas a high score should be assigned to a site that has no
cover, fence, natural barriers or buffer.
If soils or potable groundwater are present exceeding their respective CCME guidelines, dermal
contact is assumed. Exposure to surface water, non-potable groundwater or sediments exceeding their
respective CCME guidelines will depend on the site. Select "Yes" if dermal exposure to surface water,
non-potable groundwater or sediments is expected. For instance, dermal contact with sediments would
not be expected in an active port. Only soils in the top 1.5 m are defined by CCME (2003) as surface
soils. If contaminated soils are only located deeper than 1.5 m, direct contact with soils is not
anticipated to be an operable contaminant exposure pathway.
Exposure via the skin is generally believed to be a minor exposure route. However for some organic contaminants, skin
exposure can play a very important component of overall exposure. Dermal exposure can occur while swimming in
contaminated waters, bathing with contaminated surface water/groundwater and digging in contaminated dirt, etc.
Review zoning and land use maps over the distances indicated. If the proposed future land use is
more “sensitive” than the current land use, evaluate this factor assuming the proposed future use is in
place. Agricultural land use is defined as uses of land where the activities are related to the productive
capability of the land or facility (e.g., greenhouse) and are agricultural in nature, or activities related to
the feeding and housing of animals as livestock. Residential/Parkland land uses are defined as uses of
land on which dwelling on a permanent, temporary, or seasonal basis is the activity (residential), as
well as uses on which the activities are recreational in nature and require the natural or human
designed capability of the land to sustain that activity (parkland). Commercial/Industrial land uses are
defined as land on which the activities are related to the buying, selling, or trading of merchandise or
services (commercial), as well as land uses which are related to the production, manufacture, or
storage of materials (industrial).

Some low levels of impact to ecological receptors are considered acceptable, particularly on
commercial and industrial land uses. However, if ecological effects are deemed to be severe, the site
may be categorized as class one (i.e., a priority for remediation or risk management), regardless of the
numerical total NCS score. For the purpose of application of the NCS, effects that would be
considered severe include observed effects on survival, growth or reproduction which could threaten
the viability of a population of ecological receptors at the site. Other evidence that qualifies as severe
adverse effects may be determined based on professional judgement and in consultation with the
relevant jurisdiction. If ecological effects are determined to be severe and an automatic Class 1 is
assigned, there is no need to proceed through the NCS. However, a scoring guideline (18) is provided
in case a numerical score for the site is still desired (e.g., for comparison with other Class 1 sites).

Use human health risk assessment reports (or others) to determine if there is significant reliance on
traditional food sources associated with the site. Is the food item in question going to spend a large

Drinking water can be an extremely important exposure pathway to humans. If site groundwater or surface water is not
used for drinking, then this pathway is considered to be inoperable.
Consider both wild foods such as salmon, venison, caribou, as well as agricultural sources of food items if the
contaminated site is on or adjacent to agricultural land uses.

Ecological effects should be evaluated at a population or community level, as opposed to at the level of individuals. For
example, population-level effects could include reduced reproduction, growth or survival in a species. Community-level
effects could include reduced species diversity or relative abundances. Further discussion of ecological assessment
endpoints is provided in A Framework for Ecological Risk Assessment: General Guidance (CCME 1996).
Notes:
Someone experienced must provide a thorough description of the sources researched to classify the environmental
receptors in the vicinity of the contaminated site. This information must be documented in the NCS Site Classification
Worksheet including contact names, phone numbers, e-mail correspondence and/or reference maps/reports and other
resource such as internet links.
Review available site data to determine if drinking water (groundwater, surface water, private,
commercial or municipal supply) is known or suspected to be contaminated above Guidelines for
Canadian Drinking Water Quality. If drinking water supply is known to be contaminated, some
immediate action (e.g., provision of alternate drinking water supply) should be initiated to reduce or
eliminate exposure.
The evaluation of significant potential for exceedances of the water supply in the future may be based
on the capture zones of the drinking water wells; contaminant travel times; computer modelling of flow
and contaminant transport.
This category can be based on the outcomes of risk assessments and applies to studies which have
reported Hazard Quotients of less than 1 and no other observable or measurable sign of impacts.
Alternatively, it can be based on a combination of other lines of evidence showing no adverse effects,
such as site observations, tissue testing, toxicity testing and quantitative community assessments.

It is considered that within 300 m of a site, there is a concern for contamination. Therefore an
environmental receptor located within this area of the site will be subject to further evaluations. It is
also considered that any environmental receptor located greater than 5 km will not be a concern for
evaluation. Review Conservation Authority mapping and literature including Canadian Council on
Ecological Areas link: www.ccea.org.
If contaminated soils are located within the top 1.5 m, it is assumed that direct contact of soils with
plants and soil invertebrates is an operable exposure pathway. Exposure to soils deeper than 1.5 m is
possible, but less likely.
Bioaccumulation of contaminants within food items is considered possible if:
1) The Log(Kow) of the contaminant is greater than 4 (as per the chemical characteristics work sheet)
and concentrations in soils exceed the most conservative CCME soil quality guideline for the intended
land use, or 2) The contaminant in collected tissue samples exceeds the Canadian Tissue Residue
Guidelines.
Refer to an Ecological Risk Assessment for the site. If there is contaminated surface water at the site,
assume that terrestrial organisms will ingest it.
Bioaccumulation of food items is possible if:
1) The Log(Kow) of the contaminant is greater than 4 (as per the chemical characteristics work sheet)
and concentrations in sediments exceed the CCME ISQGs.
2) The contaminant in collected tissue samples exceeds the CCME tissue quality guidelines.
"Sensitive aquatic environments" include those in or adjacent to shellfish or fish harvesting areas,
marine parks, ecological reserves and fish migration paths. Also includes those areas deemed to have
ecological significance such as for fish food resources, spawning areas or having rare or endangered
species.
"Typical aquatic environments" include those in areas other than those listed above.
Environmental receptors include: local, regional or provincial species of interest or significance; arctic environments (on a
site specific basis); nature preserves, habitats for species at risk, sensitive forests, natural parks or forests.
It is considered that within 300 m of a site, there is a concern for contamination. Therefore an
environmental receptor or important water resource located within this area of the site will be subject to
further evaluation. It is also considered that any environmental receptor located greater than 5 km
away will not be a concern for evaluation. Review Conservation Authority mapping and literature
including Canadian Council on Ecological Areas link: www.ccea.org.
Groundwater concentrations of contaminants at the point of contact with an aquatic receiving
environment can be estimated in three ways:
1) by comparing collected nearshore groundwater concentrations to the CCME water quality guidelines
(this will be a conservative comparison, as contaminant concentrations in groundwater often decrease
between nearshore wells and the point of discharge).
2) by conducting groundwater modeling to estimate the concentration of groundwater immediately
before discharge.
3) by installing water samplers, "peepers", in the sediments in the area of daylighting groundwater.
Review zoning and land use maps. If the proposed future land use is more “sensitive” than the current
land use, evaluate this factor assuming the proposed future use is in place (indicate in the worksheet
that future land use is the consideration).
Agricultural land use is defined as uses of land where the activities are related to the productive
capability of the land or facility (e.g., greenhouse) and are agricultural in nature, or activities related to
the feeding and housing of animals as livestock. Wild lands are grouped with agricultural land due to
the similarities in receptors that would be expected to occur there (e.g., herbivorous mammals and
birds) and the similar need for a high level of protection to ensure ecological functioning.
Residential/Parkland land uses are defined as uses of land on which dwelling on a permanent,
temporary, or seasonal basis is the activity (residential), as well as uses on which the activities are
recreational in nature and require the natural or human designed capability of the land to sustain that
activity (parkland). Commercial/Industrial land uses are defined as land on which the activities are
related to the buying, selling, or trading of merchandise or services (commercial), as well as land uses
which are related to the production, manufacture, or storage of materials (industrial).

Plants and lichens provide a natural insulating layer which will help prevent thawing of the permafrost during the summer.
Plants and lichens may also absorb less solar radiation. Solar radiation is turned into heat which can also cause
underlying permafrost to melt.
Are there improvements (roads, buildings) at the site dependant
upon the permafrost for structural integrity?No

Species at risk include those that are extirpated, endangered, threatened, or of special concern. For a list of species at
risk, consult Schedule 1 of the federal Species at Risk Act
(http://www.sararegistry.gc.ca/species/schedules_e.cfm?id=1). Many provincial governments may also provide regionally
applicable lists of species at risk. For example, in British Columbia, consult:
BCMWLAP. 2005. Endangered Species and Ecosystems in British Columbia. Provincial red and blue lists. Ministry of
Sustainable Resource Management and Water, Land and Air Protection. http://srmwww.gov.bc.ca/atrisk/red-blue.htm
Bioaccumulation of food items is possible if:
1) The Log(Kow) of the contaminant is greater than 4 (as per the chemical characteristics work sheet)
and concentrations in sediments exceed the CCME ISQGs.
2) The contaminant in collected tissue samples exceeds the CCME tissue quality guidelines.
Melting permafrost leads to a decreased stability of underlying soils. Wind or surface run-off erosion
can carry soils into nearby aquatic habitats. The increased soil loadings into a river can cause an
increase in total dissolved solids and a resulting decrease in aquatic habitat quality. In addition, the
erosion can bring contaminants from soils to aquatic environments.
Examples of olfactory change can include the smell of a COPC or an increase in the rate of decay in
an aquatic habitat.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
DST Consulting Engineers Inc. (DST) was retained by Public Works Government Services Canada (PWGSC) to conduct a Hazardous Materials Survey (HMS) of the former Mount Agassiz Ski Resort located in the Riding Mountain National Park, Manitoba. The objectives of this HMS was to identify hazardous building materials located in each building at this former Ski Resort. The hazardous materials that were part of this survey were: Asbestos (both friable and non-friable), Lead, Mercury, Silica, Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs); and Ozone Depleting Substances. Although not expressly part of DST’s scope of work, any other hazardous materials identified as part of the survey that were considered to be a potential risk to human health and/or the environment were noted (e.g. mould and animal feces). 2.0 SCOPE OF WORK AND METHODOLOGY
2.1 Site Description Assessment
DST performed the site visit for the Mount Agassiz Ski Resort on March 17th and 18th, 2014. The Main Lodge is a two storey building with a basement and was constructed in 1961. The Buffalo Bar Lounge is a one storey building constructed in in the 1970’s. There are two garages and two lift station buildings that also reside on this site; these were constructed in 1979 (Parks Canada, 2012). This Ski Resort was operational until 2000 when it was abandoned due to bankruptcy. The lodge has undergone vandalism, surface and rain water infiltration and habitation of birds. The Buffalo Bar and two lift sheds have undergone vandalism; the garages have been untouched. The survey included a walkthrough assessment of all accessible areas of the building. While on site, DST personnel:
Collected and analyzed a representative number of suspect asbestos containing materials (ACM) samples;
Collected paint chip samples of representative paint coatings and analyzed them for lead;
Defined the extent of Hazardous Materials in the buildings; and
Collected sufficient information to subsequently enable DST to recommend appropriate measures for future building demolition or renovation to mitigate risks to human health and/or the environment.
Visual identification of materials suspected to contain asbestos in building materials or lead in paints was supported by the collection and analysis of a limited number of representative samples. Selected Photographs are included in Appendix A. Laboratory Reports of Analysis are included in Appendix B.

2.2.1 Asbestos Survey
In Manitoba, asbestos identification and handling falls under the Workplace Safety and Health Act, 2006 (Part 37) and the “Guideline for Working with Asbestos”, 2008. An ACM is defined as a material that has a minimum asbestos content of 0.1 per cent (%) by dry weight for friable materials and asbestos content of 1.0% by dry weight for non-friable materials. A friable ACM is a material that can be crumbled, powdered, or pulverized by hand pressure and can readily release fibres when disturbed. A non-friable ACM is a material that cannot be crumbled by hand pressure. To manage the removal of asbestos this is to be governed as per “Parks Canada Asbestos Management Guide, 2014” and will be further described in Section 4.1. The number of samples to be collected for each material type to ensure representative sampling is not outlined in the “Guideline for Working with Asbestos” nor the “Parks Canada Asbestos Management Guide, 2014”. To ensure representative sampling of each material, DST followed section 5.6.4.1 of the Alberta Asbestos Abatement Manual (2012). Thirty-six (36) bulk sample layers of suspected ACMs were collected by DST during the site investigation. Bulk samples of suspected ACMs collected by DST during the site investigation were analyzed for their asbestos content at EMSL Analytical in Mississauga, Ontario (EMSL). The bulk asbestos samples were analyzed using Polarised Light Microscopy (PLM). This analytical method complies with the United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) Method 600/R-93/116 dated July, 1993. EMSL is certified under the National Institute of Science and Technology’s National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP) to perform asbestos bulk sample analysis (NVLAP No. 200812-0).
2.2.2 Lead Survey
The Province of Manitoba does not include criteria for the classification of lead-paint. Instead, it uses presumed airborne lead concentrations for specific tasks as criteria for classifying work. Manitoba does reference the Federal Canada Consumer Product Safety Act where the allowable concentration of lead in paints for new consumer products as 90 parts per million (ppm). For the purposes of this survey program and reporting, paints having detectable concentrations of lead above 90 ppm will be considered a lead-containing paint. Sixteen (16) painted finishes were sampled and submitted to EMSL by DST for lead, content analysis. The samples were analyzed by EMSL using Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (FLAA) in accordance with method SW 849, 605B/7000B.
3.0 SURVEY RESULTS
The following sections outline the findings from the survey completed by DST of all hazardous materials assessed at the Mount Agassiz Ski Resort in the Riding Mountain National Park, Manitoba.

Vinyl sheet flooring located in the Ski Lodge on the 2nd floor;
Vinyl floor tiles located in the kitchen of the Buffalo Bar;
Vinyl sheet flooring located in the washrooms of the Buffalo Bar;
Transite wallboard located in the utility room of the Buffalo Bar.
3.1.3 Suspected Asbestos-Containing Materials
Roof felt layers of the Ski Lodge (outer roof layer), Buffalo Bar, and Garage2 and Small Lift Shed located at Former Mount Agassiz Ski Resort are suspected to contain asbestos. These materials were not sampled during the March 2014 survey as access was unsafe due to winter weather conditions. These materials were sampled during DST’s site visit in the Spring of 2014, the results are detailed in the tables below. Pipe materials were not identified during the site survey at the Ski Lodge. Should materials be identified within the wall cavities they are to be assumed as suspect for asbestos until confirmation by laboratory analysis.
3.1.4 Non Asbestos-Containing Materials
Based on visual observations and laboratory analysis, DST has determined that the following materials do not contain regulated amounts of asbestos:
Drywall joint compound on walls and ceilings at the Ski Lodge;
Ceramic tile mortar on the walls at the Ski Lodge;
Ceiling tiles in the kitchen at the Ski Lodge;
Inner roof tar paper and shingles at the Ski Lodge;
Black floor mastic under vinyl floor tiles in the Buffalo Bar;
Ceramic tile mortar on the washroom wall in the Buffalo Bar;
Pipe length wrap in the crawl space of the Buffalo Bar; and
Roof shingles and tar paper of the Large Lift Shed.
3.2 Lead
Sixteen (16) representative paint finish samples were collected by DST and analyzed for lead content. Table 2.0 summarizes the lead paint results.

Based upon the historic composition of building materials, lead is also expected to be present in:
Solder on the joints of copper piping;
Glazing on ceramic tiles in the building washroom(s);
Emergency light batteries; and
Caulking in the joints of cast iron drainage pipes.
3.3 Mercury
Mercury is present within fluorescent light tubes that contain a single droplet of mercury which vaporizes when the tube is energized. Fluorescent light tubes were observed in the Ski Lodge, the Buffalo Bar, and Garage 1. Mercury was also identified in thermostats located in the Ski Lodge (two) and the Buffalo Bar (two).
3.4 Silica
Based on the historic composition of building materials at this site, silica is expected to be present in:
Concrete elements of the building;
Ceramic tiles in washroom areas; and
Gypsum wallboard.
3.5 Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs)
Parks Canada and Environment Canada both provide documentation that outlines lighting ballast coding for the identification of PCB’s. In the Ski Lodge, lighting ballasts were inspected and the ballast code that ends with ‘EW’ was documented, as per Environment Canada the code ‘EW’ does not contain PCB`s. However, the ballasts identified in the Buffalo Bar has a ending code of ‘A’ and are likely to contain PCB’s. See Appendix A for photo documentation.
3.6 Ozone Depleting Substances
Ozone depleting substances (ODS) are suspected to be in refrigerators and freezers located in the Ski Lodge and in the Buffalo Bar Lounge. A total of three refrigerators and three freezers were identified on the second floor of the Ski Lounge in the kitchen area. One refrigerator was

identified in the kitchen of the Buffalo Bar Lounge. Only one unit, the Coca Cola refrigerator in the Ski Lounge, had labelling that clearly identified R-12 as the refrigerant. Fire extinguishers were identified in the in the Ski Lodge and in the Buffalo Bar Lounge `Dry Chemicals` contents were identified on these extinguishers and are not suspect for ODS.
3.7 Other Hazardous Materials
Based on visual observations, additional hazardous materials were observed in the building have the potential to pose a health risk. Selected Photos are available in the Appendix A.
3.7.1 Mould (Visual Estimation)
Although not expressly part of DST’s scope of work, suspected mould-impacted materials were observed in the following locations:
In the Ski Lodge on wallboard materials in the equipment room and basement areas was greater than 10 square meters of mould contaminated materials.
3.7.2 Animal Matter (feces and dead carcass)
Although not expressly part of DST’s scope of work, animal feces and dead carcass materials were observed in the following locations:
In the Ski Lodge, located throughout the 2nd floor, dead bird carcasses and pigeon bird droppings were identified.
4.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
4.1 Asbestos
The disturbance of asbestos-containing materials in the Province of Manitoba is governed by Safe Work - Guideline for Working with Asbestos” (2008). As this site is under the control of Parks Canada the “Parks Canada Asbestos Management Guide, 2014” will be adhered to. Both the Parks Canada and Manitoba Guidelines classify all asbestos disturbances as either Low Risk (Type 1), Moderate Risk (Type 2), or High Risk (Type 3), each of which has defined precautionary measures. All asbestos materials are subject to specific handling and disposal precautions, and must be removed prior to demolition. DST recommends the following precautionary measures in accordance with the Parks Canada Asbestos Management Guide, 2014”:
Type 1 - Asbestos Operation for the removal of vinyl sheet flooring located in the Ski Lodge on the 2nd floor, vinyl floor tiles, vinyl sheet flooring and Transite wallboard located in the Buffalo Bar. The removal of these materials is to be conducted without the use of power tools. Should power tools be required, increase precautionary measures to a Type 2 Asbestos Operation. All precautionary and disposal measures are to be in accordance with regulatory requirements.
Hazardous Materials Survey September 29, 2014 Former Mount Agassiz Ski Resort Riding Mountain National Park, Manitoba DST File No.: OE-WG-017795 Page 8
DST Consulting Engineers Inc.
Should suspect asbestos containing pipe materials be identified within the wall cavities, these materials are to be removed as a Type 2 – Glove Bag Asbestos Operation.
Materials that have not been analyzed, but are visibly similar to other materials identified as asbestos-containing, must be considered asbestos-containing unless proven otherwise by laboratory analysis. Removal of asbestos containing materials are be conducted by qualified asbestos abatement personnel.
4.2 Lead
The Province of Manitoba and Parks Canada do not have a guidance document nor legislation for the handling of lead for construction projects. However, Occupational Health and Safety Branch of the Ontario Ministry of Labour has published “Guideline: Lead on Construction Projects” and Work Safe BC has published “Lead Containing Paints and Coatings – Preventing Exposure in the Construction Industry”. These document classifies all lead disturbance as either Type 1 (Low Risk), Type 2a (low-moderate risk), Type 2b (moderate-risk), Type 3a (moderate-high risk) or Type 3b (high-risk) work, and assigns different levels of respiratory protection and work procedures for each classification. In the absence of specific legislation for Manitoba, these guidelines would serve as a reasonable, peer reviewed standard for work procedures. The following paints were identified to contain elevated concentrations of lead:
Yellow paint, on the wallboard in the Ski Lodge equipment room;
Dark brown paint, on the wood in the Ski Lodge equipment room;
Orange paint, on the wallboard of the 2nd floor lounge in the Ski Lodge;
Burgundy paint, on the wood floor of the 2nd floor lounge in the Ski Lodge;
Light brown paint, on the wood walls of the Buffalo Bar;
Dark brown paint, on the wood walls of Buffalo Bar;
Dark brown paint, on the exterior wood of Garage 1;
Green paint, on the pressure system inside of Garage 1;
Red paint, on the pipes inside of Garage 1;
Dark brown paint, on the exterior wood of the Lift Shed;
White paint; on the exterior wood trim of the Lift Shed;
White paint; on the interior wood walls of the Lift Shed;
Dark brown paint; on the exterior wood walls of the Large Lift Shed; and
Green paint, on the Lift Station.
Although the Canada Consumer Product Safety Act’s Surface Coating Materials Regulations SOR/2005-109, as amended, has set a limit of 90 parts per million (ppm) for lead in surface coating materials, there may be a potential for exposure to high levels of lead depending on the activities performed that disturb the lead-containing materials, even at low lead concentrations. Dust control procedures, which are typical of any well executed demolition project, are recommended, to control airborne lead levels associated with paints. DST recommends that any future disturbance should avoid operations that generate high levels of dust (e.g. sanding, grinding) and that should these operations be required, appropriate precautionary measures be implemented for worker exposure.

The disposal of construction waste containing lead is dependent on leachate testing, as governed by Manitoba Regulation 282/87 “The Dangerous Goods Handling and Transportation Act”, and outlines the disposal requirements for the province of Manitoba. This regulation outlines the Leachate Quality Criteria, Table 1 for the disposal of lead-containing materials. It is recommended that building materials identified as lead-containing undergo leachate testing prior to their disposal. If required at some future date, to accommodate demolition activities, the following procedures would be appropriate:
Copper piping can be cut a small distance (e.g. 50 mm) from the joints to avoid direct disturbance of the lead solder;
Cast iron drain pipes can be cut away from the joints to avoid direct disturbance of the lead caulking (and possibly asbestos packings) in the joints; and
Ceramic tiles identified in the bathrooms of the Ski Lodge and the Buffalo Bar can be removed using Type 1 work procedures and respiratory protection provided that only non-powered hand tools are used.
4.3 Mercury
There are no regulations that specifically govern the disturbance of mercury on construction projects. Mercury is classified as hazardous waste under Manitoba Act 282/87, as amended. Transport of the waste to a disposal site is controlled by Act 282/87 and by the federal TDGA. It is now common practice to recycle fluorescent light tubes, thermostats, thermometers, and other items containing mercury, recovering the component materials, and avoiding the generation of hazardous waste. Mercury-containing equipment should be disposed of accordingly.
4.4 PCB’s
PCBs are classified as Hazardous Waste as per Manitoba Act 282/87 and the “Parks Canada Environmental – Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCB’s) Guideline, 2009”. The lighting ballasts identified as containing PCB’s in the Buffalo Bar are to be removed, stored then disposed of accordingly.
4.5 Ozone Depleting Substances
Ozone depleting substances are governed by the Federal Halocarbon Management Plan which outlines the types of halocarbons considered a ODS as well as a schedule to phase out these substances. The phase-out of the refrigerators and freezers identified are to be managed in accordance with this federal regulation. These substances are to be recovered and disposed of by qualified personnel.
4.6 Silica
Safe Work Manitoba does not have a written directive when working with silica. However, the Guideline for Chemical and Biological Exposure, 2010 can be used as a guide for worker respiratory protection. Work procedures and personal protective equipment must be used to ensure that workers are not exposed to airborne silica levels that exceed this time-weighted average exposure level (TWAEL).
Hazardous Materials Survey September 29, 2014 Former Mount Agassiz Ski Resort Riding Mountain National Park, Manitoba DST File No.: OE-WG-017795 Page 10
DST Consulting Engineers Inc.
Dust control procedures, which are typical of any well executed demolition project, are usually sufficient to control airborne silica levels. As a general rule, it is preferable to use more stringent dust suppression techniques and engineering controls as opposed to relying on respiratory protection to control worker exposure. Respiratory protection should only be relied on as a last resort when dust suppression techniques and engineering controls fail to control worker exposure to silica. Silica is present in cement building materials, wallboard and ceramic tiles within the Ski Lodge and Buffalo Bar.
4.5 Other Hazardous Materials
4.5.1 Mould
The types of mould present were not delineated for this survey; however the extent of visible mould growth (greater than 10 m2) identified on the wallboard in the Ski Lodge warrants precautionary measures during demolition activities. Precautionary measures should be in accordance with “Mould Guidelines for the Canadian Construction Association”, 2004 by The Canadian Construction Association. Based on this guideline mould removal should be in accordance with a section 9.2.6 for a “large scale” mould removal project.
4.5.2 Animal Matter (feces and dead carcass)
The visual identification of dead pigeon bird carcass and its fecal matter poses concerns with Histoplasma capsulatum which is fungus that has the potential to grow in the bird droppings. When this material is disturbed for cleanup, dust control measures to reduce dust creation of the fecal matter is recommended. In addition, worker-worn personal protective equipment such as: half-face respirators (with a minimum of 0.3 micron pore size filter), disposable gloves, disposable coveralls with booties are recommended. (www.cdc.gov). Respiratory protection (N/P-100) is recommended for any future access and activities when entering the Ski Lodge to protect against mould spores and bird dropping fungus.

5.0 LIMITATIONS OF REPORT
This report is intended for client use only. Any use of this document by a third party, or any reliance on or decisions made based on the findings described in this report, are the sole responsibility of such third parties, and DST Consulting Engineers Inc. accepts no responsibility for damages, suffered by any third party as a result of decisions made or actions conducted based on this report. No other warranties are implied or expressed.
The data, conclusions and recommendations which are presented in this report, and the quality thereof, are based on a scope of work authorized by the client. The sampling program included asbestos bulk sampling and paint chip sampling in select representative areas for laboratory analysis. There is a practical limitation on the number of representative samples that can be made in an occupied building. This requires the investigator to extrapolate observations and analytical results between test cut locations. The uncertainty, and inherent risk, associated with this necessity increases with the distance between sampling locations. Note, however, that no scope of work, no matter how exhaustive, can guarantee to identify all contaminants. This report therefore cannot warranty that all building conditions are represented by those identified at specific locations. Recommendations, when included, are made in good faith and are based on several successful experiences. DST is not in a position to evaluate the health risks associated with exposure to the mould referenced in this report. Since human reactions to mould exposure vary widely amongst individuals, and specific segments of the population are generally recognized to be more susceptible than others, an evaluation of health risks can only be made on an individual basis and even then, only by a licensed medical practitioner equipped with knowledge of the individual’s medical history. Any use of this report by the client and any other party is contingent upon their understanding and acceptance of the following condition:
“Mould is a naturally occurring substance and regardless of the results of an assessment or how completely it is removed, it could reoccur.”
The scope of services provided by DST for this assignment did not include a detailed evaluation of the thermal and moisture management characteristics of the exterior wall assembly, or a detailed building envelope investigation to ascertain every potential root cause of the water infiltration that created an environment favourable to mould proliferation. Similarly, DST has not been engaged to provide detailed designs for the reinstatement of building finishes or for improvements to the building envelope.
Note also that standards, guidelines and practices related to DST’s scope of work may change with time. Those which were applied at the time of this program may be obsolete or unacceptable at a later date.
Any comments given in this report on potential remediation problems and possible methods are intended only for the guidance of the designer. The scope of work may not be sufficient to determine all of the factors that may affect construction, clean-up methods and/or costs. Contractors bidding on this project or undertaking clean-ups should, therefore, make their own

EMSL maintains liability limited to cost of analysis. This report relates only to the samples reported and may not be reproduced, except in full, without written approval by EMSL. EMSL bears no responsibility for sample collection activities or analytical method limitations. Interpretation and use of test results are the responsibility of the client. This report must not be used by the client to claim product certification, approval, or endorsement by NVLAP, NIST or any agency of the federal government. Non-friable organically bound materials present a problem matrix and therefore EMSL recommends gravimetric reduction prior to analysis. Samples received in good condition unless otherwise noted. Estimated accuracy, precision and uncertainty data available upon request. Unless requested by the client, building materials manufactured with multiple layers (i.e. linoleum, wallboard, etc.) are reported as a single sample. Reporting limit is 1%
