SUPPLEMENTAL INVESTIGATION\CHENAIL BLVD PHASE II ESA_REV0.DOCX Morrison Hershfield | 2932 Baseline Road, Ottawa, ON K2H 1B1, Canada | Tel 613 739 2910 Fax 613 739 4926 | morrisonhershfield.com i EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Morrison Hershfield Ltd. (MH) was retained by the Town of Hawkesbury (the Client), to perform a Phase II Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) for three (3) property parcels at the eastern end of the Chenail Boulevard (“the site”). A Phase I ESA was not completed for the site prior to this Phase II ESA, but environmental information was obtained from four (4) background reports supplied by the client. Key findings from these reports included the presence of a former railway line that ran across the site, significant infilling activities with suspected material from an industrial site, and use of the site and surrounding area for bulk fuel storage from the 1930’s to 1992. Based on this review, the contaminants of concern (COCs) were identified as metals, Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH), Petroleum Hydrocarbons (PHC), and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC). The environmental field program was performed in three (3) stages, building on the results from the prior stage. A total of fourteen (14) boreholes were drilled, all of which were completed as monitoring wells. Soil and groundwater samples were collected and analyzed for the COCs. Based on the site setting, MECP Table 3 standards for Residential/Parkland/Institutional Property Use were selected to assess the soil and groundwater quality at the site. Fill on the site contains various debris including coal and slag, and contained metals and PAHs at concentrations above the applicable standards. Various petroleum-related contaminants were detected in soil, both at the northern edge of the Chenail Boulevard right-of-way, and south of the right-of-way, at the location of a former fuel oil depot. The petroleum-related contaminants at the northern edge of the Chenail Boulevard right-of- way are thought to be the source of a plume of PHC F3/F4 and PAH in groundwater. This plume appears to extend slightly onto adjacent private properties. The petroleum-related contaminants to the south of Chenail Boulevard, at the former fuel depot, are thought to be the source of a plume of PHC F2 in groundwater that appears fully contained on Town of Hawkesbury property. A preliminary risk evaluation of the groundwater plumes suggests that, in their current state, these plumes are not resulting in any unacceptable risk to on-site receptors. Immediate remedial action is not required. An additional round of groundwater sampling is recommended, along with a targeted additional investigation of shallow fill. The fact that the groundwater contamination appears to extend to adjacent private properties should be disclosed to the MECP.

INTRODUCTION Morrison Hershfield Ltd. (MH) was retained by the Town of Hawkesbury (the Client), to perform a Phase II Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) for three (3) property parcels at the eastern end of the Chenail Boulevard. This Phase II ESA was initiated in response to a Phase II ESA completed by Lascelles Engineering & Associates for the adjacent property to the northeast, described as Lots 1 and 17 – Registered Plan M-20, Part of Block 21 – Registered Plan 46M-67, Belle Rive Crescent, Hawkesbury, Ontario. The objective of this Phase II ESA was to investigate the soil and groundwater conditions, to determine if the fuel oil depot that was historically present at these properties has impacted the subsurface and, to attempt to delineate the plume, if groundwater contamination is encountered. This report has been prepared following the principles of the Canadian Standards Association Z769-00 – Phase II Environmental Site Assessment standard and in accordance with generally accepted professional practices. This Phase II ESA is not intended to support the filing of a Record of Site Condition (RSC) under Part XV.1 of the Environmental Protection Act. 1.1 Site Description Four (4) distinct property parcels (labeled Parcel 1, 2, 3 and 4 for convenience) were included in this Phase II ESA investigation. This includes the three (3) parcels that form the eastern end of the Chenail Blvd. An additional parcel, which makes up Belle Rive Street, was also included for potential delineation purposes. These parcels are all owned by the Town of Hawkesbury and additional property details are summarized in Table 1 below.

Title records or an updated plan of survey are required to confirm the accuracy of property information. The property index map downloaded from the Ontario Land Registration System is shown in Appendix A This map shows all four (4) property parcels, with parcel 2 (PIN 54169-0153) and parcel 3 (PIN 54169-0167) highlighted on the map. The property parcels are also shown on the site plan on Figure 1 in Appendix B. Collectively, these property parcels will be referred to as “the site” throughout this report. 1.2 Background Environmental Information A Phase I ESA was not completed for the site prior to this Phase II ESA. That said, environmental information was obtained from the following reports: Conestoga-Rovers & Associates, 1992. Phase I and II Environmental Audit, Town of Hawkesbury, Ontario. (Report 1) Conestoga-Rovers & Associates Limited, 1992. Remediation of Parts 4 and 8, Town of Hawkesbury, Ontario. (Report 2) Lascelles Engineering & Associates, 2017. Phase I – Environmental Site Assessment Lots 1 and 17 – Registered Plan M-20, Part of Block 21 – Registered Plan 46M-67, Belle Rive Street, Hawkesbury, Ontario. (Report 3) Lascelles Engineering & Associates, 2017. Phase II – Environmental Site Assessment Lots 1 and 17 – Registered Plan M-20, Part of Block 21 – Registered Plan 46M-67, Belle Rive Crescent, Hawkesbury, Ontario. (Report 4) Key findings from these reports are summarized below and presented on Figure 2 in Appendix B: Report 1 A Phase I and II environmental audit was performed for eight (8) parcels of land, adjacent to the Ottawa River (identified as parts 2 to 10 of Registered Plan 46R-4909). This audit was performed to support a land exchange between the Town of Hawkesbury and a developer. As part of this exchange, the Town of Hawkesbury received six (6) parcels, two (2) of which are located within the site and became the present day Chenail Boulevard. The Phase I portion of this audit indicated that a spur line of the former Grand Trunk Railway was located in the vicinity of the site, as early as 1923.

  • 2.6 Settlement Along the Ottawa River
    INTRODUCTION 76 2.6 Settlement Along the Ottawa River In spite of the 360‐metre drop of the Ottawa Figure 2.27 “The Great Kettle”, between its headwaters and its mouth, the river has Chaudiere Falls been a highway for human habitation for thousands of years. First Nations Peoples have lived and traded along the Ottawa for over 8000 years. In the 1600s, the fur trade sowed the seeds for European settlement along the river with its trading posts stationed between Montreal and Lake Temiskaming. Initially, French and British government policies discouraged settlement in the river valley and focused instead on the lucrative fur trade. As a result, settlement did not occur in earnest until the th th late 18 and 19 centuries. The arrival of Philemon Source: Archives Ontario of Wright to the Chaudiere Falls and the new British trend of importing settlers from the British Isles marked the beginning of the settlement era. Farming, forestry and canal building complemented each other and drew thousands of immigrants with the promise of a living wage. During this period, Irish, French Canadians and Scots arrived in the greatest numbers and had the most significant impact on the identity of the Ottawa Valley, reflected in local dialects and folk music and dancing. Settlement of the river valley has always been more intensive in its lower stretches, with little or no settlement upstream of Lake Temiskaming. As the fur trade gave way to farming, settlers cleared land and encroached on First Nations territory. To supplement meagre agricultural earnings, farmers turned to the lumber industry that fuelled the regional economy and attracted new waves of settlers.

  • Non-Destructive Detection of Corrosion of Epoxy Coated Rebar
    NON-DESTRUCTIVE DETECTION OF CORROSION OF EPOXY COATED REBAR by BRIGITTE GOFFIN A DISSERTATION IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (Civil Engineering) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) December 2017 ©Brigitte Goffin, 2017 Abstract Abstract Deteriorating infrastructure is an acute and dangerous problem, which is often caused by the corrosion of concrete reinforcement. Marine structures and bridge decks, where sea water and de- icing salts lead to chloride ion diffusion into the concrete are particularly at risk. Epoxy coated rebar (ECR) is a popular choice for the latter structures. However, corrosion of ECR, which occurs due to coating damage, poses a challenge to non-destructive corrosion detection. This study investigated the corrosion behaviour, accelerated corrosion and non-destructive corrosion detection of ECR. The electrochemical corrosion behaviour of ECR in simulated concrete pore solutions was studied and compared to uncoated rebar (UCR). The polarized area of ECR was related but not proportional to the sodium ion concentration of the test solution. Furthermore, ECR was more susceptible to corrosion than UCR, particularly in the presence of NaCl and in NaHCO3 solution. A test solution of Na2CO3 and NaHCO3 led to the formation of a very fragile passive layer, that grew slowly but continuously. However, the protective layer was sensitive to even small amounts of NaCl. Corrosion of ECR was accelerated in neutral and alkaline NaCl solutions as well as in concrete. Neutral and alkaline environments promoted coating holiday and undercoating corrosion, respectively. Part of the undercoating corrosion process was cathodic delamination, whose acceleration prior to corrosion acceleration slowed down the lateral corrosion expansion.
