Parkland Geotechnical Ltd. (ParklandGEO) was commissioned by Mr. Ron Ritchie, President of Ritchie Bros. Construction Inc. and 331294 Alberta Ltd., to conduct a Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) on Lot 2, Block 1, Plan 102 5482, located at 6362 Township Road 695A in Grovedale. The Phase 1 ESA was required prior to the sale of the Property.
Based on the available information gathered during the Phase 1 ESA, the following conclusions have been made:
• At the time of the assessment, a large two storey building was observed on the western side and a one-storey shed was observed near the northwest corner of the Property. The Property was primarily gravel surfaced and the yard was fenced with chain-link and barbed wire. The Property has been tenanted by Ritchie Bros. Construction Inc. since the building was constructed in 2013. Prior to 2013, the Property was agricultural land. The potential environmental risk to the Property from the historical owners and current tenant is considered to be low to moderate.
• The adjacent properties in all directions were primarily residential, grazing pasture, light commercial and light industrial businesses. Two small UN#1075 (Petroleum gases) aboveground storage tanks were observed near the northeast corner of the storage yard located south of the Subject Property. The potential environmental risk to the Property from the surrounding lands is considered to be low.
• Five aboveground storage tanks (ASTs) were observed on the Property and were registered with the PTMAA at the time of the assessment. The tanks contained diesel, gasoline and used oil and were equipped with secondary containment, leak detection and overfill prevention systems. Four of the ASTs were observed along the north side of the Property. Concrete barriers surrounded the tanks and the area was bermed to the north, east and west. Drip trays and canisters were equipped for the hoses and nozzles on each of the tanks. One of the ASTs contained used oil and was located near the northeast corner of the building. The used oil tank was connected to a hose and pump system that transported used oil from inside the main building. The potential environmental risk to the Property from the ASTs is considered to be low to moderate.
• Historical searches indicated that two reclamation certificates were issued on the quarter section and included the southeastern corner of the Subject Property. Records indicated that a well, which was located approximately 31 m south of the Subject Property, had been suspended and abandoned. Soil and groundwater sampling was conducted and impacted soils were removed. Reclamation Certificates were issued in 2011 for the portion of the lease site that included the Subject Property and in 2012 for the remainder of the lease. As the Site was determined to be reclaimed, the potential environmental risk to the Property from the former well site is considered to be low.

Background information indicated that the well bore was drilled in 1985 from the surface location within LSD 14-33-69-6-W6M. The surface location was located approximately 31 m south of the Subject Property. The well produced a mixture of crude oil, gas and water between January 1986 and January 1989. The well was suspended in 1989 and down hole abandonment activities were conducted in 1995. An environmental imaging investigation was conducted to investigate and delineate elevated conductivity distributions. A Phase 2 ESA was conducted on the Property to evaluate soil and groundwater conditions. Ethylbenzene, PAH (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons), barium, lead, selenium and Petroleum Hydrocarbon Fraction (PHC) F2 concentrations exceeded the applicable guidelines in the soil near a former sump area. Barium and lead concentrations exceeded the applicable guidelines in one surface soil sample near the well centre. Dissolved selenium, uranium and/or zinc concentrations exceeded the applicable guideline values in each of the monitoring wells. Sulphate and/or chloride exceeded the applicable guidelines in two locations. Remedial excavation activities were conducted to remove the PHC and metal impacts from the former sump area and area near the well centre. A total of 5,484.33 tonnes of hydrocarbon impacted soils were removed and disposed of at Secure Landfill. Clean soil from Secure was transported to site and used as backfill. All confirmatory soil samples contained PHC and metal concentrations that were less than the applicable guidelines. A partial reclamation certificate (No. 286620-00-00) was issued to Encana Corporation on March 16, 2011. A reclamation Certificate (No. 299184-00-00) was issued for the remainder of the area to Encana Corporation on March 7, 2012.

or dumps on the Property were found, concentrations of methane gas are not considered to be a concern.
7.16 OIL AND GAS FACILITIES
There were no upstream oil and gas facilities located on the Property at the time of the assessment. Reclamation Certificates were available for a former well site located approximately 31 m south of the Subject Property. Records indicate that the northern portion of the lease was located on the Subject Property and the well was located to the south (Refer to Section 5.2.2).
7.17 PESTICIDES AND HERBICIDES
No signs of pesticide or herbicide use were observed during the assessment.
7.18 PITS AND LAGOONS
There were no pits or lagoons observed on the Property during the assessment. Ponds were observed approximately 86 m south and approximately 321 m southwest of the Subject Property.
7.19 POLYCHLORINATED BIPHENYLS (PCBs)
There were no sources of PCBs observed on the Property at the time of the assessment.
7.20 RADIOACTIVE MATERIALS AND EQUIPMENT
There were no radioactive materials or equipment observed on the Property during the assessment.
7.21 RADON
Historically, large portions of Canada were not considered to have a significant risk of radon exposure, however in June 2007, Health Canada decided to lower the action level for radon from 800 Bq/m3 to 200 Bq/m3 based on international standards and newer scientific research. This is reflected in recent changes to the National Building Code. Radon is a gas formed by the breakdown of uranium, a natural radioactive material found in all soil and rock. Long-term exposure to radon is the 2nd leading cause of lung cancer after smoking. Health Canada found that: approximately 7% of homes have high levels of radon; radon levels vary significantly across the country; and that there are no areas of the country that are 'radon free,' but there are areas of the country where high levels of indoor radon are more prevalent.
For most of the year, the air pressure inside a building is lower than the pressure in the soil surrounding the foundation. This difference in pressure draws air and other gases contained in the soil, including radon, into the interior. Gas containing radon can enter a building through any opening where the foundation, basement or floor slab contacts the soil. These openings will be present even in newer, well-built structures. Potential entry routes for radon include cracked foundations or slabs,
S:\PROJECTS\GP3651 - GP3700\GP3655 - Ritchie Bros Construction Grovedale Ph1 - ENV\GP3655 Report\GP3655 - PH1 Report.wpd Ritchie Bros. Construction Inc. c/o 331294 Alberta Ltd. Project GP3655 6362 Township Road 695A; Grovedale, Alberta November 14, 2017 Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment Page 18 of 23
areas with exposed soil or rocks, openings for utility lines or the gap between the floor slab and wall, sumps, etc.
Materials used to construct a building - stone, bricks, cement/concrete, or granite, for example - are not a significant source of radon. Natural materials taken from the ground, like granite or concrete aggregate, can contain some uranium and may have higher levels of radiation or radon, but in the vast majority of cases these levels are not significant.
Workplace exposure to radon is addressed by guidelines for naturally occurring radioactive materials (NORM). Details are given in the Canadian Guidelines for Management of Naturally Occurring Radioactive Materials (Prepared by the Canadian NORM Working Group of the Federal Provincial Territorial Radiation Protection Committee. Revised 2011).
Incidentally Exposed Workers are employees whose regular duties do not include exposure to NORM sources of radiation. They are considered as members of the public who work in an occupational exposure environment and, as such, the annual effective dose limit for these workers is 1 mSv. The sievert (Sv) is the unit of Effective Dose of radiation, and accounts for the total effect of different types of radiation on different parts of the body.
Radon released from soil beneath a building gives rise to an average indoor background concentration of about 45 Bq/m3, but much higher values are possible in some areas. This concentration is variable with time; therefore long-term assessment measurements are recommended. As radon concentration can vary considerably, Health Canada is recommending that all workplaces be assessed for potential elevated levels. The derived working limit (DWL) for radon is 200 Bq/m3. Where the annual average concentration of radon gas is expected to be above 200 Bq/m3, measurements should be made to estimate the average annual radon gas concentration.
For the Subject Property, the general interior ventilation was considered good, with no below grade spaces and limited potential migration pathways for radon gas to enter the structure. The potential incremental risk from radon exposure to the building occupants is considered low. As per Health Canada's recommendation, a long-term test to measure the interior radon concentration is recommended as part of a standard health and safety program, but this is not essential for the assessment of the environmental risk associated with this Property.
7.22 SOLID WASTE AND SEWAGE DISPOSAL
An Alliance Disposal Dumpster and metals disposal dumpster were observed in the yard. Septic and water tank cisterns were observed on the Property. Mr. Ritchie stated that an underground septic field was used along the east side of the Site. A septic holding tank was used to store the liquid from the wash bay prior to the contents being vacuum trucked out and disposed of off-site.
7.23 STAINS AND SPILLS
No stains or spills were observed on the Property at the time of the assessment although observations were limited by snow cover. Mr. Ritchie stated that occasional small spills from

Project GP3655 6362 Township Road 695A; Grovedale, Alberta November 14, 2017 Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment Page 19 of 23
maintenance activities may have occurred within the shop, however, drip trays were generally used to prevent spills and absorbent materials were used to clean up any stains or spills promptly.
7.24 UNDERGROUND (USTs) AND ABOVEGROUND STORAGE TANKS (ASTs)
There were five ASTs registered to the Property with the PTMAA. Refer to Section 5.2.2 for details. Four of the ASTs were observed along the north side of the Property. Concrete barriers surrounded the tanks and the area was gravelled and bermed to the north, east and west. Drip trays and canisters were equipped for the hoses on each of the tanks. The used oil tank was stored near the northeast corner of the building and was connected to a hose and pump system that was used to transport the used oil from within the building to the tank. No signs of overflow, stains or spills were observed around any of the tanks at the time of the assessment. A engine oil tank and a hydraulic oil tank were stored within the shop. Mr. Ritchie was not aware of any USTs on the Property except for the water and septic tanks. Two small UN#1075 tanks were observed on the storage yard located south of the Subject Property. The potential environmental risk to the Property from the ASTs is considered to be low to moderate.
7.25 UNIDENTIFIED SUBSTANCES
No unidentified substances were noted on the Property during the assessment.
7.26 UREA FORMALDEHYDE FOAM INSULATION (UFFI)
There were no sources of UFFI observed during the inspection.
7.27 UTILITIES, ROADS, PARKING FACILITIES AND RIGHT-OF-WAYS
The Property was accessed from the south along Township Road 695A. Parking areas were observed south and east of the main building. The utility right-of-ways and zoning regulations registered on the Property are summarized in the following table:

Project GP3655 6362 Township Road 695A; Grovedale, Alberta November 14, 2017 Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment Page 21 of 23 8.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on the available information gathered during the Phase 1 ESA, the following conclusions have been made:
• At the time of the assessment, a large two storey building was observed on the western side and a one-storey shed was observed near the northwest corner of the Property. The Property was primarily gravel surfaced and the yard was fenced with chain-link and barbed wire. The Property has been tenanted by Ritchie Bros. Construction Inc. since the building was constructed in 2013. Prior to 2013, the Property was agricultural land. The potential environmental risk to the Property from the historical owners and current tenant is considered to be low to moderate.
• The adjacent properties in all directions were primarily residential, grazing pasture, light commercial and light industrial businesses. Two small UN#1075 (Petroleum gases) aboveground storage tanks were observed near the northeast corner of the storage yard located south of the Subject Property. The potential environmental risk to the Property from the surrounding lands is considered to be low.
• Five aboveground storage tanks (ASTs) were observed on the Property and were registered with the PTMAA at the time of the assessment. The tanks contained diesel, gasoline and used oil and were equipped with secondary containment, leak detection and overfill prevention systems. Four of the ASTs were observed along the north side of the Property. Concrete barriers surrounded the tanks and the area was bermed to the north, east and west. Drip trays and canisters were equipped for the hoses and nozzles on each of the tanks. One of the ASTs contained used oil and was located near the northeast corner of the building. The used oil tank was connected to a hose and pump system that transported used oil from inside the main building. The potential environmental risk to the Property from the ASTs is considered to be low to moderate.
• Historical searches indicated that two reclamation certificates were issued on the quarter section and included the southeastern corner of the Subject Property. Records indicated that a well, which was located approximately 31 m south of the Subject Property, had been suspended and abandoned. Soil and groundwater sampling was conducted and impacted soils were removed. Reclamation Certificates were issued in 2011 for the portion of the lease site that included the Subject Property and in 2012 for the remainder of the lease. As the Site was determined to be reclaimed, the potential environmental risk to the Property from the former well site is considered to be low.
• The following potential environmental issues were not found to be of concern on the Subject Property: air emissions, air quality, asbestos, chemical use and storage, drains and sumps, fill and stockpiles, freons, halons, hazardous storage and wastes, heating and cooling systems, landfills and dumps, lead, liquid effluents and site runoff, mechanical equipment, mercury, methane, oil and gas facilities, pesticides and herbicides, pits and lagoons, polychlorinated biphenyls, radioactive materials and equipment, radon, solid wastes and
