(Azimuth) is pleased to provide you with our report summarizing Communal Water and Wastewater Services for Calabogie Peaks Resort. The report is intended to support a "Plan of Subdivision" application for the conversion of an existing timeshare and hotel development (The Cedars and The Pines buildings) into privately owned condominium dwellings. The assessment provided herein is to document the capacity of the existing services and their ability to support private ownership of the same units. Our assessment is based on a thorough review of the Site specific background reports, environmental data and local geological and soils information (e.g., Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks Water Well Information System, geology/ topographic mapping).
