PART III Mapping Soil Quality and Pollution Reports Port of Montreal – Environmental Leader

1993 First Environmental Clauses inserted in a Tenant Lease 3 Standard Clauses: 1. Initial Study (Baseline Characterization) 2. Environmental Compliance (Operations) 3. Final Study (Site Characterization at the end of the Lease)

2001 Adoption of an Environmental Policy Based on 4 Principals: 1. Environmental Compliance of it’s Operations 2. Protection of the Environment 3. Environmental Management 4. Awareness of it’s Environmental Commitment

First step towards implementing an Environmental (EMS)

Port of Montreal – Environmental Leader Environmental Management System (EMS)

2003 Implementation of EMS Based on the International Standard ISO 14000

19 Procedures were approved by our Vice-Presidency

A few key Procedures:

• APM-446.03: Notice of Contamination to our Legal Service In cases of contamination caused by a third party that could become contentious

• ENV-433.01: Environmental Objectives and Targets and Improving our Environmental Performance

Report transmitted to the committee that prepares the business plan

• ENV-452.01: Program

Port of Montreal – Environmental Leader 2012 AUDIT PROGRAM Port of Montreal – Environmental Leader

2005 The Port of Montreal was invited to assist at the first meeting leading to the forming of Green Marine

2007 Green Marine was founded

2010 Adoption of a Policy

Environmental Land Use Issues

Former Shoreline - up to 350 meters inland

Early 1900’s - Industrial development along former shoreline (plants, depots, etc)

1960s - Construction of new Berths • Backfilling to create a new Terminals • Multiple sources of backfill materials, some from major works such as construction of metro • Heterogeneous subsurface conditions

1986 – Publication of the Provincial Guidelines for Contaminated Sites • Introduction of Soil and groundwater criteria

PART III Mapping Soil Quality and Pollution Reports Mapping Soil Quality ISOLIEN - Environmental Database

• 1 390 Environmental Reports , Phase I and II Site Characterizations, Remediation, Screenings, etc.

• 400+ Reports with soil investigations Both Environmental and Geotechnical Studies

• 5 500 Subsurface Investigations Borings, test pits, monitoring wells, etc.

• 870 Environmental Projects

Reports are associated with :

• Port Installation

• Project

Environmental Group:

• Phase I and Phase II Environmental Site Assessments

• Remediation cost estimates

• Identify monitoring wells in the vicinity of spills to evaluate extent of damage Engineering and Maintenance Group:

• Projects with excavation works

• Project estimate purposes: Soil Quality, Geotechnical properties, depth of groundwater, natural soil and bedrock Property Planning Group:

• Subsurface conditions for future projects and installations

• Inform potential new tenants on soil properties

Advantages: Snapshot of Soil Quality, Quick access to Boring Logs and Reports, Planning application, Multi-User Platform, Print a map Mapping Pollution Reports

CONTROL CENTER receives calls regarding spills, pollution, complaints, etc.

• Control Centre operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week • 370 cameras strategically located along our facilities

A call card is created in Emergensys (computer aided dispatch platform), and an inspector is dispatched to the site to document the event and ensure proper clean-up measures are put in place • 7 full-time prevention inspectors

A detailed report is generated and forwarded to responsible parties Mapping Pollution Reports EMERGENSYS – Call Dispatch Interface Mapping Pollution Reports EMERGENSYS – Pollution Report Mapping Pollution Reports

CONSTRAITS

• Pollution events were not geo-referenced, therefore could not be located on our mapping applications

• Unable to locate spills with respect to critical infrastructure such as sewers, drainage systems, aqueducs, monitoring wells, etc.

• No spacial distribution of events to determine if there are hot spots/problem areas

In 2012, the Environmental Group launched a project with the IT Group to add Geospacial component to Pollution Reporting

3 STEPS: 1. Equip vehicles used by inspectors with GPS/AVL Units – completed

2. Add Cartographic Module of Emergensys to current platform – in progress

3. Integrate a Reporting Engine into our Corporate GIS – JMap – in progress Mapping Pollution Reports EMERGENSYS – In-Vehicle Data Entry Mapping Pollution Reports EMERGENSYS – Cartographic Module Mapping Pollution Reports JMap – Pollution Reports in PDF format & Queries
